Finally, the beleaguered people of Detroit catch a break: the Skins-Lions game will be blacked out in local markets. We in the DC area, however, will still be subjected to this atrocity.

Hope the Lions win for 2 reasons. As a Dallas fan, this would help sooth what looks to be a mediocre season ahead. And as a DC-area resident, the latest sport-talk radio has been absolute gold.
