Lions | Week 8 game to be blacked out

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:09:15 -0700 Terry Foster, of The Detroit News, reports the Detroit Lions will have their Week 8 game blacked out. No station whose signal penetrates a 75-mile radius of Detroit may broadcast the game. It will be the first time since Dec. 30, 2001, that the Lions will have a blacked out game.

Funny thing is my boy is a DIEHARD Lions fan. We went to MoTown last year and it's going to become a yearly thing but I had to skip out this year due to the baby. Anyways, the weekend he chooses to go to MoTown this year is this game, the game that is blacked out. Talk about luck. I guess he deserves something for being a Lion fan. Not gonna lie I kinda cheer for them, he cheers for the Jets too, I guess it's the sympathy thing.

The blackout rules are stupid. I'm surprised no local station bought up all the tickets.

Companies have bailed out the Lions twice this year by buying 3000+ tickets on the last day to avoid the blackout. This time around it was 6000+ tickets available and no one wanted to bother.

The Lions are pathetic.

I bet Lions fans are grateful for that. What a break--it's like getting an extra bye.
