NATCHITOCHES – For the 50th anniversary of its arrival in this small town located on Cane River Lake, the 2022 Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony took time to celebrate the villages.

Those villages – whether it was Crowley or Bunkie or Mamou or Thibodaux or Opelousas — as well as the villages who helped nurture and produce the 12-member Class of 2022 that officially entered the state’s sports shrine were on display at the event inside the Natchitoches Events Center.

“I always tell people, like the saying, it takes a village,” said Garland Forman, the longtime journalist at...

We're nearly out of June, and Saints training camp will be here before we know it. Rookies will report on July 19, and the veterans will join them a week later. We should expect a practice schedule by mid-July, and practices should start towards the end of the month.

This is undoubtedly a very quiet spot on the NFL calendar leading up to camp, but the anticipation is there with each passing day. There's a lot of reason for optimism for the Saints in 2022, and our Saints News Network Team got together recently to weigh in on the player they're most excited to see at training camp.

New Orleans Saints embattled star running back Alvin Kamara was observing the action of NASCAR Cup Series' Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, June 25.

It's been one year since NASCAR brought on Kamara as its "first-ever Growth and Engagement Advisor. Kamara will work directly with NASCAR leadership on strategic planning and creative opportunities that support its fan development efforts."

Kamara strolled the pits with basketball legend and 23XI Racing team co-owner Michael Jordan. Driver Bubba Wallace is a driver for Jordan and Denny Hamlin.

The 2022 USFL Championship Game is set, with the Birmingham Stallions facing off against the Philadelphia Stars next weekend in Canton, OH. It’s been a reasonably successful year for the expansion league, which has no official affiliation with the original USFL, despite carrying many of the same team names and similar logos.

The original USFL (United States Football League) was an expansion league that began play in the spring of 1983. The fledgling league was entertaining in its short three-year duration, and even provided a bit of competition for the NFL with regard to obtaining...

By now, Brian Henry should be used to it. Still, he winced a little and stared distractedly into the distance as a tattoo needle bit into a tender spot on his arm on a recent Saturday, as Saints guard Chuck Commiskey’s signature was added to his collection. Commiskey’s was the 100th Saints signature tattooed onto Henry’s dermis. It was a milestone.

Henry, 41, is sort of like a superhero. Since 2011 he has transformed himself from a mild-mannered tire and rim salesman to “Signature Saint,” the most fanatical of New Orleans football fanatics. Unlike other flamboyant superfans, Henry can’t...

The New Orleans Saints signed linebacker Demario Davis to a one-year extension through 2024, ESPN’s Field Yates reported Friday.

The 33-year old can earn Davis up to $14 million in the added-on 2024 season. He is set to make a $10 million base salary with a $2 million roster bonus and $2 million more in incentives.

Among the tweaks to his overall contract, Davis’s base salary for 2023 drops slightly (from $8.5 million to $8.25 million) while another $1 million has been guaranteed.

In addition to bracing for a suspension of six games or more due to a charge of felony battery arising from an incident in Las Vegas on Pro Bowl weekend, Saints running back Alvin Kamara expects to face a lawsuit in civil court.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the man whom Kamara allegedly beat up in Las Vegas will be suing Kamara for financial damages as result of the incident.

It’s no surprise. Assault and battery are what the law calls intentional torts. Any injuries or other harm suffered by the alleged victim become fair game for compensatory damages. Punitive damages...

Saints executive vice president and general manager Mickey Loomis joined the Dattitude Podcast with host Jim Derry and Jeff Duncan on Friday. Loomis openly answered a wide array of questions about Alvin Kamara, Jameis Winston, and the direction of the Saints organization without Sean Payton.

KAMARA'S LEGAL ISSUES CLOUDY

Uncertainty dominates Alvin Kamara's future this season. On Thursday, PFT's Mike Florio reported that the league's sources think Kamara may face a six-game suspension. Loomis confirmed only the Saints are waiting to let the legal process and the NFL's investigation run...

Saints Potential Trade Candidates

The New Orleans Saints are no strangers to making training camp or early season trades to bolster their roster for the upcoming year. Last season, they swung a trade with the Houston Texans for CB Bradley Roby three days before the opener. In 2018, they acquired QB Teddy Bridgewater from the Jets right at the end of preseason. One year later, they dealt LB Vince Biegel to the Dolphins in exchange for LB Kiko Alonso.

New Orleans is also not averse to trading away players to accumulate draft picks for the following year. They've done it with DT Akiem Hicks and LB Stephone Anthony over the...

The secondary may very well be the strength of the New Orleans Saints defense. Marshon Lattimore leads the cornerbacks along with second-year corner Paulson Adebo, C.J. Gardner-Johnson holds down the slot, and now Alontae Taylor, a second-round selection out of Tennessee, has entered the conversation. Include the versatility of Bradley Roby and P.J. Williams and one could argue there are more names than roles available on the backend of the Saints defense.

Bleacher Report’s Ian Wharton certainly seems to think so. Recently, Wharton listed one trade each NFL team should make before...

THIBODAUX – The most famous former Ole Miss baseball player in New Orleans will be a little busy with his family Saturday night when the Rebels open the best-of-three College World Series championship against Oklahoma.

But Archie Manning has a plan.

“We might have (Game 1) going on the scoreboard tomorrow night,” Manning said Friday from inside John L. Guidry Stadium on the Nicholls campus, where the Manning Passing Academy continues through Sunday.

The Rebels punched their ticket to the title series with a 2-0 victory over Arkansas Thursday.

“Ole Miss (was the) 64th team in, and now...

Saints running back Alvin Kamara‘s arrest on felony battery charges in Las Vegas in February is expected to result in a suspension under the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.

PFT reported this week that Kamara is bracing for a six-game suspension and the prospect of a ban came up during General Manager Mickey Loomis’ appearance on the Dattitude podcast this week. With the case still making its way through the legal process, it’s unclear when a suspension would be handed down and Loomis said that means the team is going to have to prepare for all possible outcomes as they look ahead to the...

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said the club is “prepared for anything” in terms of a potential suspension of running back Alvin Kamara.

Loomis said team officials are essentially in wait-and-see mode as they monitor Kamara’s legal situation in Clark County, Nev., which stems from his arrest after an incident at a Las Vegas nightclub in February. Kamara was arrested and charged with felony batter resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery after being involved in a fight with another man on the night before the Pro Bowl.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to an updated contract with one of their most important players.

Standout linebacker Demario Davis was given a 1-year extension and is now signed through the 2024 season, according to an ESPN report.

Prior to the new deal, Davis had two years remaining on the $27 million contract extension he signed in 2020.

Davis, who turned 33 in January, told The Times-Picayune during minicamp earlier in June that he would like to finish his career in New Orleans.

“This has been a first-class organization for me,” Davis said. “This year, for me, is really about my...

Expectations are high for Adam Trautman in his third season with the New Orleans Saints. The former third-round draft pick took a small step forward in 2021, improving from his rookie stat line (15 receptions for 171 receiving yards, converting 9 first downs and scoring 1 touchdown catch) to post still-modest production in an expanded role (totaling 27 catches for 263 yards, converting 13 first downs and scoring twice).

But that was hardly what was hoped after he stepped into Jared Cook’s vacant spot in the lineup. Trautman struggled to consistently impact the passing attack and took a...
