STOCK WATCH: Fast-Glance Week in Review

Jan. 16, 2006 | 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

Carolina Panthers: Wide receiver Steve Smith caught 12 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns as the Panthers beat the Bears to advance to the NFC title game.

Seattle Seahawks: The Panthers will face Seattle as Mike Holmgren's team beat Washington despite the fact Shaun Alexander went down with a concussion early in the game.

Denver Broncos: The Broncos dethroned the Patriots with Champ Bailey making a key interception that turned the game around.

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steel Curtain stunned the Colts in Indianapolis and I feel sorry for Tony Dungy as this was a tough way to end the season.

Larry Brown: The Knicks coach got his 1000th career win.

North Carolina: Women's coach Sylvia Hatchell got her 700th career victory.

Los Angeles Dodgers: The Dodgers acquired relief pitcher Danys Baez from the Devil Rays.

STOCK DOWN

Venus Williams: She was upset in the first round of the Australian Open by an unranked Bulgarian opponent.

Keyon Dooling and Ray Allen: Both were suspended for fighting during an NBA game. Dooling received a five-game suspension, while Allen was sidelined for three games.

Kentucky: This basketball team has really been struggling as they've lost back-to-back home games for the first time since 1989.

USC: The football team has lost a lot of players to the NFL draft via early entry. Pete Carroll will find a way to keep the Trojans among college football's elite, but it won't be easy.

St. Louis Blues: The Blues are 1-8 in their last nine games and it appears St. Louis will miss the playoffs for the first time since 1979, at least when they've had playoffs.

Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens fired coach Claude Julien over the weekend.

Dick Vitale coached the Pistons and the University of Detroit before broadcasting ESPN's first college basketball game in December 1979. Send him a question for possible use on ESPNEWS.
