Mark Ingram Joins Fox Sports After NFL Career
“I can’t wait to feel the energy and excitement every Saturday, alongside some of the most talented and entertaining names in our sport, at the biggest games in college football,” he said in a statement.
Ingram, 33, was a first round pick (28th overall) in the 2011 draft.
Saints coach Dennis Allen is turning the offense over to former Raiders signal caller Derek Carr, whom he coached in Oakland. Ingram, who was falling down the depth chart, figured his time was up in the locker room and jumped to the broadcast booth.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston may have lost the starting job to the new quarterback from Las Vegas, but he believes he’s still able to lead an NFL team.
“I’m still preparing for when my opportunity presents itself because I still believe I”m a starting quarterback in this league,” he told the media. “But right now, my role is to serve Derek and be the best teammate I can be.”
“I’ve just had some unfortunate injuries in the past few years, so this is just where I am right now is focusing on getting healthy … and serving this team and organization the best that I can.”
Winston was the starter after Coach Sean Payton left the Saints at the end of the 2021 season. That next year, Winston took the reins of an offense with high expectations. In the first month of the 2022 season, Winston was injured in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Veteran signal caller Andy Dalton starred at the helm for the rest of the season.
Can Winston Still Lead The Saints?
Only time will tell whether the Saints turn to Winston to lead their offense again. Winston was signed by the New Orleans Saints in 2020 as a backup quarterback behind Drew Brees.
Whether or not Jameis Winston becomes the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints would depend on various factors, including his performance, the team’s evaluation of his skills, and any other quarterbacks on the roster or acquired by the team. It’s important to refer to the latest news, team announcements, and analysis from reliable sources to get the most up-to-date information on the status of Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints quarterback position.

The defending national champion LSU women’s basketball team has reloaded just days after celebrating the Tigers’ first NCAA title. Now, LSU has landed former Louisville star Hailey Van Lith.
Van Lith, who took Louisville to the NCAA tournament before bowing out, signaled that she has committed to the Lady Tigers by posting on the caption “eleven” on her Instagram, an obvious nod to her jersey number.
Van Lith will have two years of eligibility remaining as she seeks to help the Lady Tigers repeat as champions. Basketball fans are salivating with Lith pairing with LSU star Angel Reese next season.
“Oh it’s UP,” Reese wrote on social media.
LSU Head Coach Kim Mulkey, who herself starred at guard for Louisiana Tech, aims to complement Lith with the young talent the Tigers have assembled on the team.
Van Lith will take over at guard for the Tigers, who will lose Alexis Morris to the WNBA. Lith is set to graduate from Louisville in May, earning her degree in finance in three years.
With Van Lith’s commitmentto the Tigers, LSU is now favored along with UConn to win the 2024 Women’s Basketball Championship on Caesars Sportsbook. LSU began at +550 before Van Lith’s signing, the 2nd favorite behind UConn (+400). Now both LSU and UnConn are +400.

Former Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr signed a four-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, ending days of anticipation for the ballclub looking for some stability among signal calling.
The Saints give Carr a solid defense, which he’s never had in his career, while New Orleans gets a veteran quarterback with good skills and great come-from-behind abilities.
New Orleans Saints Sign Derek Carr To 4-Year Deal
The deal, which includes $150 million, immediately seats Carr as the best quarterback in the NFC South.
Carr was drafted by the Raiders in 2014 after a stellar college career at Fresno State, where he twice received first-team All-MWC honors.
Can Carr Revive The Saints Offense?
He is surrounded by deep talent at the wide receiver position, including Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave.
Carr is expected to move into the upper echelon as a member of the black and gold, with many saying that the team should win a minimum of 10 games.
Final Word
Carr’s signing comes one day after Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson became available to other teams. Jackson and the Ravens have not been on the same page for contract negotiations, which could bode well for Saints arch rival, the Atlanta Falcons, who reportedly are interested in bringing a dynamic quarterback.

Update: The New Orleans Saints beat the best team in the NFL on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles, but were still eliminated from the playoffs.
The Saints’ gritty 20-10 victory made it three in a row for the surging team from New Orleans, but Tampa Bay’s win over the Carolina Panthers locked up the division for the Tom Brady-led team.
The Saints will try to make it four in a row against the Panthers next week.
Heading into the weekend, there was a small possibility that the New Orleans Saints could make the playoffs, even given how bad they’ve played their 2022 schedule. Of course, they’re longer are in control of their own destiny.
Can The Saints Make The Playoffs?
The Saints can no longer make the playoffs after Tampa Bay’s win against the Panthers, but here’s how it could have all happened if the ball bounced the right way.
For the Saints to have made the playoffs with nine losses, here’s the mathematical formula that needs to happen.
- New Orleans has to win its last two games, including against Carolina.
- Tampa Bay needs to lose its last three games.
For the Saints to have mace the playoffs with 10 losses, here’s the mathematical formula that needs to happen.
- New Orleans has to win one of its last two games, including against Carolina.
- Tampa Bay needs to lose its last three games.
What Are The Remaining Games In The NFC South?
The Saints remaining games are:
Vs. Carolina (7-9), Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023, 1 p.m., FOX

Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen says New Orleans displayed “Big Boy NFL Football” in the victory against Cleveland.
Final Word
The Saints are trying to right the ship after a horrendous first half of the season, but the NFC South has been so bad this year, that anything is possible. Hopefully that “anything,” includes some Saints winning football.

The New Orleans Saints shut out the Cleveland Browns 14-0 in the second half to escape with a 17-10 win on Christmas Eve at Paul Brown Stadium. The snowy conditions kept the Saints passing game from doing much, but a solid running game from Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill led the way.

Week 3: Saints 13, Carolina 22

Week 6: Saints 26, Bengals 30
The Saints are reeling after dropping another game they should have won easily. The Cincinnati Bengals turned on the jets in the fourth quarter, beating New Orleans, 30-26 in the Caesars Super Dome.
Week 7: Saints 34, Arizona 42

After being shut down for most of the game, Tom Brady drove Tampa Bay down the field in the last minute to shock the Saints 17-14 on Sunday, December 5, 2022, with a touchdown pass. The loss just about put the nails in the Saints’ postseason hopes, almost.
Week 12: Saints 17, Browns 10
The Saints ran the ball effectively in the snow on Saturday, December 24, 2022, in Cleveland as New Orleans hung on for a 17-19 victory. The move put the Saints in second place in the NFC South along with the Panthers.
Final Word
This year the Saints hope they can capture the early season form they had last year.
New Orleans re-signed quarterback Jameis Winston on a two-year $28 million deal in the hopes that he can be the player he was in early 2021. Veteran Andy Dalton was signed as a backup.
With only play one preseason game at the Caesars Superdome, the Saints will have to gel early on to gain some momentum. With the addition of wide receiver Jarvis Landry, the offense should be able to carry the load.

LSU lost against the Georgia Bulldogs 50-30 on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022, in the SEC Championship Game in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
The Tigers’ starting quarterback Jayden Daniels didn’t finish the SEC Championship Game after he re-injured his leg in the first half. Backup Garrett Nussmeier came out slinging the ball, leading the Tigers (9-4, No. 14 CFP) to three second-half touchdowns.
LSU was playing for the SEC title, but not the College Football Playoff berth, an opportunity it lost the previous week.
That game largely shaped who would and wouldn’t (LSU) be in the College Football Playoff although some losses on Dec. 3 shook things up further.
After the game, LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly told the media that he was proud of the effort his team displayed in a game where few things went right.
if you can’t make it to the game, you can watch the LSU Tigers for free.
LSU and first-year head coach Brian Kelly have a lot to prove down there in Baton Rouge. The good news is that the home games on the schedule break the right way and by judging from their draft class, the Tigers are up for the task.
How the 2022 season will go has a lot to go with the signal caller. Kelly is ready to exploit defenses like he did in Notre Dame, but of course, he has even more toys to play with.

Florida State held on to beat LSU after the Tigers missed the tying extra point. It was a game filled with mistakes from the Bayou Bengals, including two muffed points.
Even with all that went against them, transfer signal caller Jayden Daniels put together a nice enough game to give the Tigers a chance in overtime, but the Tigers’ special teams cost them the win.
Week 2: LSU 65 Southern 17
The two college teams in Baton Rouge joined together for a memorable night. While the game was over in the first five minutes, the excitement lasted all night long.
Week 3: LSU 31, Mississippi State 16
It was a game of two halves down in Baton Rouge: Hail State jumped out to a 16-point lead over the Fighting Tigers, but in the fourth quarter, LSU began to get rolling, especially on offense. Led by quarter Jayden Daniels, LSU scored 21 points to take the game out of reach.
Here are some highlights:
Week 4: LSU 38, New Mexico 0
The Tigers overwhelmed the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, September 24, 2022, behind its defensive front, which constantly terrorized Lobos quarterback Miles Kendrick.
Here are some highlights:
Week 5: LSU 21, Auburn 17
The LSU Fighting Tigers opened SEC play with a gutsy 21-17 win against Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers won it on the strength of its stifling defense.
Week 6: Tennessee 40, LSU 13
Tennessee proved to be too much for the LSU Tigers, as the Volunteer offense consistently moved the ball up and down the field. It was ugly in Death Valley. May the Tigers remember the sting of Saturday, Oct 8, 2022.
Here are the highlights:
Week 7: LSU 45, Florida 35
The Tigers got back on the winning track with a resounding double-digit victory over the SEC East rivals, the Florida Gators. The 45-35 win marked quarterback Jayden Daniels’ best game as an LSU Tiger.
Week 8: LSU 45, Ole Miss 20
The Tigers got back to their winning ways with a convincing 45-20 win over the previously undefeated Ole Miss Rebels. The Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022 win marked quarterback Jayden Daniels’ best game as an LSU Tiger. Here are the highlights:
Week 10: LSU 32, Alabama 31
The Tigers got their biggest win of the season after defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide in ovetime 32-31 on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022.
The win marked quarterback Jayden Daniels’ best game as an LSU Tiger.
Week 11: LSU 41, UAB 10
LSU started off a bit timid but slowly cooked a determined UAB team on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022. LSU’s 41-10 victory over the Blazers secured them a nine-win season and put them in the driver’s seat for a pathway to the College Football Playoff.
Week 12: Texas A&M 38, LSU 23
The Tigers got the biggest letdown of their season after falling to the Texas A&M Aggies 38-23 on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022 in College Station.
The No. 5 ranked Tigers looked lethargic for most of the game and failed to capitalize on the few opportunities it had.
After the game, which likely stopped No.5 ranked LSU a chance at a 10-win season, Coach Brian Kelly said that his team played flat and “just didn’t have it.”
Interestingly, quarterback Jayden Daniels’ reverted to his early season form and rarely tested the Aggie secondary. He also appeared to suffer at least two leg injuries in the game, but continued to play until the end. LSU now limps into the SEC Championship Game against Georgia.
SEC Championship Game: Georgia 50, LSU 30
LSU lost against the Georgia Bulldogs 50-30 on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022, in the SEC Championship Game in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
The Tigers’ starting quarterback Jayden Daniels didn’t finish the SEC Championship Game after he re-injured his leg in the first half. Backup Garrett Nussmeier came out slinging the ball, leading the Tigers (9-4, No. 14 CFP) to three second-half touchdowns.
Final Word
The Tigers begin the 2022 season with a new head coach and a clean slate to right the ship after two consecutive sub-par seasons. There wil also be a new quarterback not named Miles Brennan.
LSU will need to avoid the injury bug and benefit from some fortune to place high in the SEC West, the toughest conference in America. They have a lot going for them, including 100,000+ rabid fans at Tiger Stadium.
