    The Detroit Lions have received a 24-hour extension to sell enough tickets to avoid a blackout, reports Tom Kowalski of MLive.com. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Lions had less than 3,000 tickets to sell before 1pm ET today to avoid having their home-opener against the Philadelphia Eagles blacked out on local television. That an extension was granted is a sign that in the last 24 hours, the team has moved closer to a sell out, and that in all likelihood, Sunday's game will be shown locally

    not good news for the Lions. It would really suck to have your home opener blacked out. If i was a Lions fan I would tell everyone i know go buy a ticket so it doesnt get blacked out.

    If I'm a Lions player, I buy them and give em out.

    Times are tough here in Michigan, #2 state in unemployment...but I think the injury to Stafford sealed the deal. Mr. Ford has bought out the final tickets before, hopefully he'll do it again so it isn't blacked out.
