The way he lets his money slip through his fingers, maybe backup quarterback Mike McMahon ought to be a Lions receiver.
It's not that he spends it; a streetsweeper cleaning a Farmer Jack parking lot in Clawson told Channel 2 he found McMahon's paycheck against a curb.
The check for $13,573 -- two weeks' pay after taxes -- was made out to McMahon and signed by Matt Millen, Walter Abercrombie said.
Abercrombie and his wife tried to contact the Lions but failed. But a Lions spokesman told Channel 2 the team knew the check had been lost and it had been canceled.
