Wayne Ellington: Trade to Cavs Is Last Chance for Former UNC Star to Save Career
Bleacher Report - 22 Jan 2013 23:56Wayne Ellington's NBA career has been largely disappointing, but his recent trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers may be his best chance at finding success (ESPN). Through four-plus years in the league, he... has averaged only 6.3 points per game on 41 percent shooting from the field. This season, he's making only 41 percent of his shots from the field, but he's been good on 42 percent from deep. That is no doubt part of what made him attractive to the Cavs. The other side of his appeal lies in the fact that he's a restricted free agent at the end of the season. If he doesn't work out, the Cavs can cut ties with him. Coming out of North Carolina in 2009, Ellington was billed as a sharp-shooter with decent upside as a scorer. Ellington averaged 14.7 points in three years at Chapel Hill, but a lack...

How Pep Hamilton Will Change the Colts' Offense
Bleacher Report - 22 Jan 2013 23:58For Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, a sophomore season in the NFL will have the feel of his senior season at Stanford. Instead of moving into his second year under offensive coordinator... Bruce Arians, Luck and the Colts offense will enter 2013 with former Stanford offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton running the offense. Arians, after helping the Colts qualify for the postseason in 2012 as both the offensive coordinator and interim head coach, accepted a job to be the Arizona Cardinals' next head coach. While the Colts could have stayed in-house for his successor, they instead went to a well-known commodity in Hamilton, who has been Stanford's offensive coordinator since 2011. Under Arians, the Colts were a vertical passing offense that depended (and thrived) on Luck's ability to...

Did Bill Callahan Sabotage the Oakland Raiders?
Bleacher Report - 22 Jan 2013 23:57There is no way an NFL head coach would sabotage his team in a Super Bowl. Right? Well, according to legendary wide receiver Tim Brown, Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan sabotaged his team by... changing the game plan on the Friday prior to Super Bowl XXXVII, a game in which Oakland ultimately lost 48-21 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When it comes to the Oakland Raiders, anything is possible. Nothing that apparently occurred during the Al Davis era should be completely ruled out, that's for sure. After the video of Brown's rather adamant stance on this controversial topic began to circulate, obviously, the media began to ask more questions and wanted accounts from other players on that team. ESPN's Chris Mortensen received a few text messages from former Oakland fullback Jon Ritchie:...

Danny Welbeck: Assessing His Contribution for Manchester United This Season
Bleacher Report - 22 Jan 2013 23:53As a product of the Premier League factory that is the Manchester United academy, there's always a good chance that Danny Welbeck--who joined the club at the age of 15--would be given his ample share... of chances to impress at the club. However, one debate currently ringing around the Red Devils' fraternity is, with the wealth of attacking talent calling Old Trafford their home, whether Welbeck ultimately fits the bill. The Daily Mail recently reported upon Sir Alex Ferguson's selection dilemma, admitting that, despite a man-of-the-match performance just the week before, the other options at the Theatre of Dreams means that the forward's position is never truly safe. At least not as long as Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez all remain at the club. In truth, the 22-year-old...

Analyzing Tyrann Mathieu's Draft Stock Heading Into the Senior Bowl
Bleacher Report - 22 Jan 2013 23:48Many of college football's top senior's are gathered in Mobile to show off their skills for NFL scouts at the 2013 Senior Bowl, but one of the most talked-about players in Alabama this week isn't even... playing in the game. Cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, who went from Heisman finalist and potential top-five draft pick to kicked off LSU's team altogether before the 2012 season began, is in Mobile trying to convince NFL scouts that his checkered past is just that and he's ready to move on to the next chapter of his career. It's hardly a surprise that Mathieu would like to put the past year behind him, as it was an unmitigated disaster. After making a trip to New York in December of 2011 and playing in the BCS National Championship game, "The Honey Badger" entered the offseason as the face of the...
