STOCK WATCH: Fast-Glance Week in Review

Jan. 14, 2008 | 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 Patriots, Chargers, Packers and Giants all advanced to the final four of the NFL playoffs. Tom Brady was brilliant, completing 26-of-28 passes in a win over Jacksonville. Ryan Grant overcame two fumbles and ran for 201 yards for the Packers. Eli Manning and the Giants gutted out an upset over Dallas. The Chargers outdueled Peyton Manning and company.

•Rich "Goose" Gossage is the latest member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Gossage waited nine years for the phone call telling him he made it to Cooperstown.

•The Dallas Mavericks have a seven-game win streak.

•North Carolina had an impressive win over NC State.

STOCK DOWN

•Marion Jones was sentenced to six months in prison for lying about steroids and her involvement in a check-fraud scheme.

•Rick Majerus and his Saint Louis Billikens set a record, one the team did not want. Saint Louis put up the lowest point total in the shot clock era, losing to George Washington, 49-20. My friends, that sounds more like a lopsided football score!

•The Miami Heat have lost 10 straight games.
