Last year, when Mo Williams attached the “All-Star” prefix to his name for the first time, it seemed that he’d entered a more high-profile phase.

There were signs of it, too. A year after not even having a shoe contract, over the summer Williams appeared in his first Nike commercial and now sports his own line of shoes complete with his nickname, “Mo Gotti,” on the tongue.

But on the same team with LeBron James — whose off-court statements can generate as much interest as his on-court play — and Shaquille O’Neal, Williams has shed some of the spotlight. Add in the attention paid to Delonte West and the fast-rising J.J. Hickson, and the first month of the season has left Williams overlooked.

“Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson has a saying for times like this: “Struggle and emerge.”

No doubt about it, the Blue Jackets are struggling. Heading into tonight’s game against the St. Louis Blues in Nationwide Arena, the Jackets have lost five straight games, their longest skid since the end of the 2007-08 season.

As for how they’re going to get out of this grip, Howson signaled yesterday that the help will not come from his office. Not right now, anyway.

He continues to talk with GMs around the NHL — that’s a normal course of his job — but he’s not actively pursuing a “shake-up” trade, and he’s not close to making a move.

“I think the solution is in our (dressing) room,” Howson said. “I believe in the group that’s in there.

Below are links to memorabilia available for popular Columbus Blue Jackets players.

Tony Pike returned from an injury to his non-throwing arm and had a record day Friday, passing for six touchdowns in a 49-36 victory over Illinois that left fifth-ranked Cincinnati unbeaten and back to full strength.

The senior quarterback started for the first time since Oct. 15 and broke the school record for touchdown passes.

Two of them went to Mardy Gilyard, who also ran back a kickoff for a score.

Cincinnati (11-0) remained one of six unbeaten Bowl Subdivision teams. The Bearcats finish their regular season next weekend in Pittsburgh, aiming for their second consecutive Big East title.

The Illini (3-8) couldn’t handle a spread offense that’s different from anything they’d see in the Big Ten. Cincinnati had 35 points in the first half alone — as many as the Illini allowed in any full Big Ten game.

Eric Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play when the Cleveland Browns go against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Cribbs was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after the last play of the Browns’ 16-0 loss to Baltimore on Monday night. He was briefly hospitalized with a possible neck injury and concussion.

Mangini says all of the measures taken with Cribbs were precautionary and that all the tests came back negative.

The Cleveland Cavaliers might well be riding a six-game winning streak had they not resorted to one-on-one play and kept settling for long jump shots in their 108-91 loss to the Washington Wizards Wednesday night.

The subpar offensive effort affected the other side of the court, too, as Washington got to run with the basketball after some poor Cavaliers decision-making, and became confident and team-oriented on offense.

Plain Dealer Cavaliers beat writer Brian Windhorst’s game report from Washington is here.

Washington, which has an impressive roster if it can stay healthy, got strong performances from several players, even a solid defensive effort and floor game off the bench from DeShawn Stevenson. He usually seems overwhelmed against the Cavaliers, but that wasn’t the case on Wednesday.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have loaned promising forward Nikita Filatov to CSKA of the Continental Hockey League for the remainder of the 2009-10 season.


General manager Scott Howson announced the move Tuesday. He said it was made so Filatov could develop his game in his hometown of Moscow.

Filatov has been unhappy with his spare minutes since making the club to start the season. He appeared in 13 games with the Blue Jackets this season, scoring two goals. He has six goals in 21 NHL games over the past two seasons.
