Bears and Colts feeling Super

SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM

February 5, 2007 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down.

STOCK UP
• The Colts won the Super Bowl as Peyton Manning earned MVP honors. It was a great story for Tony Dungy to win the championship after all that he went through last year.

• The new class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including Thurman Thomas, Bruce Matthews, Michael Irvin and company.

• The Packers because Brett Favre decided to return for another season.

• Texas A&M hoops beating Kansas for the first time after going 0-11 in the prior meetings.

STOCK DOWN

• The NFL for charging so much money for Super Bowl tickets. How are regular fans supposed to afford $600 to sit upstairs in the nosebleed section.

• The Boston Celtics set a franchise record with their 14th straight loss.

• The Minnesota Timberwolves are 2-9 in their last 11 games.
