THIS JUST IN: Browns/Lions Set (Yawn) For Local TV

The sure-to-be-thrilling, breathtakingly exciting Cleveland Browns preseason tilt with the Detroit Lions will not be blacked out.

The Plain Dealer's Tony Grossi reports that the team has reached a deal with Gannett NBC affiliate WKYC/3 to ensure local TV carriage of the Saturday night contest, despite some 4,800 unsold tickets just over a day before the NFL's blackout deadline.

The financial details, and disposition of the unsold tickets, is apparently undisclosed.

Our blogging colleague at WKYC, Frank Macek, has more here...

I'm glad I'm a NASCAR fan. There's a Sprint Cup race Saturday night, short track. Always thrilling.
