There was more than one surprise Saturday for Detroit fans after the Lions announced their final 53-man roster. Undrafted rookie Adairius Barnes who hasn’t received much attention throughout the summer and preseason was able to outplay both Alex Carter and Darrin Walls for one of the final spots on the Detroit roster.

This is the first time in his career that he hasn’t committed more than one turnover over a span…

I have gone to plenty of football games and the tickets have never cost this much. $12 is a ridiculous amount for a ticket to watch a bunch of…
