Lions stock report: Stafford’s comeback season isn’t happening right now

In Lions Stock Report we attempt to provide a bellwether for individual performance on the Detroit Lions, but to make that happen effectively it requires a variance in trending activity. Right now, there aren’t a lot of bright stocks. Fans are panic-selling. Complete market collapse. Bears, literal bears are eating the day traders. Awful, wretched adrenochrome-extracting things that Dr. Hunter S. Thompson warned us about.
