JUSTIN: Lions vs. Bucs stock report: 11 movers after divisional round win Check out your movers as the Lions advance to the NFC Championship game. I’m still soaking in the reality of where the Detroit Lions are right now — NFC North champions, 14-5 (and counting), and on their way to the NFC Championship game. Imagine hearing that when the Lions were 0-10-1 just a shade over two years ago, or telling that to your past self after the Lions took down the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. It’s surreal, and this weekend’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers…

In the NFL, nothing is ever truly guaranteed. Teams that should be impressive sputter out and and fail, whether due to injury or simply poor play or coaching. Even a lot of “guaranteed” money in players’ contracts can vanish — just ask Russell Wilson. But the process in Green Bay largely looks sound, as the Packers achieved far more in Jordan Love’s first season…
ALSO READ… Christian Zionist cowboys: American and Israeli affinities laid bare The American cowboys flocking to Israel amid its war on Gaza expose the many parallels between the two settler societies. In early November, a photograph of four white men in cowboy hats at JFK airport was uploaded to social media with the caption, “These cowboys from Arkansas and Montana were at JFK today on their way to help out at the farms in Israel. They are not Jewish.” By the time the cowboys landed in Tel Aviv, a Jerusalem Post commentator declared, “they were already a social media sensation”.…
The New York Knicks could view second-year Atlanta Hawk AJ Griffin as a potential reclamation project at the trade deadline. The New York Knicks are expected to be active ahead of the NBA trade deadline, even after dealing for OG Anunoby and two others on Dec. 30. New York has surged up the standings since the deal with Toronto and could look for further reinforcements in preparation for a potentially extended playoff run. While the Knicks have connected to several stars over the past couple of years, this deadline could center on under-the-radar acquisitions, such as second-year Atlanta Hawk AJ…

The fans waved their white towels The players danced on the sideline. The owner, Sheila Hamp, clapped her hands. Amon-Ra St. Brown had just caught a touchdown pass, giving the Lions a two-possession lead Sunday and putting them a few minutes away from glory. They wouldn’t let it slip through their grasp. Detroit held on for an eventual 31-23 divisional round win over the Buccaneers that served as a moment of redemption for a city and quarterback that were once laughed at. But who’s laughing now? Jared Goff, traded away from the Rams who drafted him first overall in 2016,…
Several notable Golden State Warriors could potentially be on the move before the Feb. 8 trade deadline. The Warriors “would like to move Andrew Wiggins for an upgrade,” according to Action Network’s Matt Moore. The team is also “willing to part with the unhappy Jonathan Kuminga,” Moore wrote. Wiggins began the season as a starter before the 11-season veteran was benched in December for the first time in his career. He is averaging a career-low 11.9 points and 1.5 assists through 36 games and doesn’t look set to rejoin the Warriors’ starting five any time soon. Wiggins is still in…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have one star on their defense trending in one way ahead of facing the Buffalo Bills in the upcoming 2023 Wild-Card round… and another big name heading in the other direction. Starting with the bad news for the Steelers (10-7), Pittsburgh will be without TJ Watt against the Bills (11-5), according to Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. With 19 sacks, Watt is again the league’s sack leader for the third time four seasons. That’s a huge loss. He injured his knee in Pittsburgh’s season finale. Clearly one of the NFL’s best defensive players, the pass rusher has…
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will have the entire offseason to think about his regrettable interception on his final pass in Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Love, who finished with 194 yards, two touchdowns and two picks in the 24-21 loss, admitted after the game that his attempt to throw a deep pass across the field to Christian Watson in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter was ill-advised. “Looking back on it, yeah, throw it away,” Love said, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. “I don’t know if I had an opportunity to be able…
