The //sarcasm on// oh so generous to a fault NFL //sarcasm off// has granted the winless Lions a 24 hour extension in hopes Ford Field will sell out for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings. Otherwise, it's blackout time.

Per the Killer at Mlive:

The team announced there are 1,700 tickets remaining, which would have to be sold by 1 p.m. Friday.

However, the league will only grant an extension if there's a strong likelihood the team will sell out.

A "strong likelihood?" So there's that going for us...which is nice.

ford field filled up yeah right

This shot of Ford Field would be funny...if it weren't so sad...

Get to buying tickets, so we can enjoy...did I just say enjoy? Not a good choice of words. Rather, so we can endure Sunday's game all over SE MI!

Getting to see Vikings stud RB Adrian Peterson is worth it, isn't it? Silly question! Of course it is...

How about seeing Brett Favre again? It's worth it, right? I know, I kid, I kid...
