  • Saints legend Mark Ingram preaches responsible gambling, respect for players ahead of Super Bowl LIX

    Saints legend Mark Ingram preaches responsible gambling, respect for players ahead of Super Bowl LIX

    The “Big Game” is only a day away, and while there will only be one winner between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, many others across the country are hoping they win something, too: their sports bets. 

    The American Gaming Association (AGA) is estimating that Americans will bet $1.39 billion legally on Super Bowl LIX across those states that provide operating sportsbooks, which is a record.

    The continued expansion of legal sports betting markets – North Carolina and Vermont were added among legalized states, and Missouri just voted to approve it to bring the count to 40 states, as well as the District of Columbia – will be highlighted in Super Bowl LIX. 

    The increased enthusiasm is why former NFL running back Mark Ingram, who was back in New Orleans, the place he called home with the Saints for 10 seasons, teamed up with the AGA to implore sports bettors to game responsibly this Super Bowl. 

    “You gotta have a gameplan,” he told Fox News Digital on Radio Row in New Orleans. “First and foremost, have a budget, and stick to it. Be responsible, bet legally and don’t be harassing players – sending Venmos, sending CashApps when they don’t hit your prop bets. Enjoy it, respect it. It’s supposed to be entertainment.”

    Athletes from all sports have talked about sports bettors sending them messages, containing vulgar verbiage and threats to pay them after their performances didn’t work out in favor of their bet slip. 

    But Ingram is sick of seeing it. 

    “It’s crazy, man,” he said. “The players didn’t set the over/under for themselves, Vegas did. So, be mad at Vegas. The players are out there trying to do everything they can to help their team win a game.”

    Joe Maloney, Senior Vice President, Strategic Communications at the AGA, discussed the five pillars that all sports bettors, experienced or not, should follow heading into the Super Bowl and beyond. 

    “First, bet legally,” Maloney began. “It’s important that you’re doing it in a legal operator with a legal sportsbook. Two, keep it fun. This is a social activity, do it with others. Just keep it fun. Three, stick to a budget. Understand what amount you want to spend on this type of activity. It’s no different than any other type of entertainment activity. Have a budget for it and stick to it. 

    “The other piece, which is also very important: Know the odds. Understand the terminology, and understand the difference between a sure bet and a longshot bet. A longshot bet, if you hit it, you’ll make more money. A sure bet, like Jalen Hurts scoring a touchdown in the game on Sunday, that’s probably more of a sure bet. 

    “Finally, keep your cool. Losing your bet is not an invitation to harass an athlete, harass an official, harass a coach. Just keep it to yourself if you win or lose.”

    For moneyline bets, or simply choosing who will win the game, the Chiefs are slight favorites to beat the Eagles, but that could always move, depending on how much money comes in ahead of kickoff at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday night.

  • The Super Bowl team Trump may not be rooting for on Sunday

    The Super Bowl team Trump may not be rooting for on Sunday

    President Donald Trump, taking to social media ahead of the Super Bowl, praised both teams facing off in professional football’s biggest game.

    “Two great Quarterbacks in this game. Also, an unbelievable running back, and the absolute best tight end in football (Ever!). Incredible coaching!” the president wrote Friday in a post on his Truth Social platform. “IT WILL BE A GREAT GAME!!!”

    Trump is expected to make history this weekend as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl in person, when the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    The Chiefs are aiming to make history as the first National Football League team to win three straight Lombardi trophies as Super Bowl champions.

    The Eagles, playing in their third Super Bowl in seven seasons, seek to avenge their 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in the championship game two years ago.

    Trump earlier this week appeared to indicate which team he may be rooting for in the big game.

    When asked by reporters in the Oval Office which team he wanted to win the Super Bowl, the president responded, “I don’t wanna say.”

    “But there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner,” he added as he apparently pointed towards Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

    The president the next day gave a shoutout to Mahomes and his wife Brittany, who hinted at support for Trump in last year’s presidential election.

    “Congratulations to the Chiefs GREAT Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his very beautiful and BRILLIANT wife, Brittany, on the birth of their new baby daughter, Golden Raye. This is what I call a baby with great genes, both mother and father. It’s happy times in the wonderful Mahomes family. See you all on Sunday!” he wrote.

    While Trump theoretically is staying neutral in Sunday’s game, he does appear to have an acrimonious history with the Eagles which dates back to his first White House administration.

    During his first year in office, Trump repeatedly criticized NFL players who refused to stand for the national anthem as they symbolically protested racism. After the Eagles won the Super Bowl that season, most of the players on the team said they would boycott the traditional White House appearance by the championship team.

    FOX NEWS’ BRET BAIER TO INTERVIEW TRUMP AT SUPER BOWL

    Trump, responding, disinvited the team.

    “The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” Trump said at the time. “They disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country.”

    The Eagles are also the team long cheered on by former President Joe Biden, a Pennsylvania native who for nearly his entire life has called neighboring Delaware home.

    As he addressed the Democratic National Committee, which met in Philadelphia amid a blistering cold weekend in early 2023 for their annual winter meeting, the then-president said “Fly, Eagles, fly!”

    And former First Lady Jill Biden, a devout Eagles fan who often wears the team’s garb, will be attending Sunday’s Super Bowl.

  • Hall of Famer Warren Moon raves about specific Patrick Mahomes trait that could lead to another Super Bowl win

    Hall of Famer Warren Moon raves about specific Patrick Mahomes trait that could lead to another Super Bowl win

    As a Hall of Fame quarterback himself, Warren Moon knows that the trajectory of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes’ career has Canton, Ohio with a bronze bust written all over it. 

    Mahomes will once again grace a Super Bowl field on Sunday, facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles, whom he helped beat two seasons ago. And the Chiefs have potential history on the line, as they could become the first team to ever win three straight Super Bowls. 

    Moon told Fox News Digital on Radio Row this week in New Orleans that he wants to see history made on Sunday, and he believes it will be, because of No. 15 leading the way on offense.

    “He’s had it all, especially from the start. I mean, he’s got enough body of work with seven, eight years in the league to show just how great he is,” Moon said while also touching on his role with the NFL Alumni Association to raise awareness for cancer screenings. “This is the fifth Super Bowl he’s been to in his seven years he’s been starting, [and] he’s got a chance to win his fourth, and a third in a row. Nobody has ever done anything like that. So, when you’re a guy that’s done something that’s never been done before, you’ve got to be considered one of the greatest.”

    The “G.O.A.T.” moniker has been used for Mahomes quite a lot in recent years because of his ability to collect hardware alongside his team while doing some tremendous things under center. 

    Moon says he watches quarterbacks “very carefully year-in and year-out,” and he shared what impresses him most about Mahomes’ game. 

    HOW TO WATCH SUPER BOWL LIX BETWEEN CHIEFS, EAGLES STREAMED ON TUBI

    “I’m still a fan of the game, I played the game, and I know the position, so I know the special things that he does each and every week, and, yes, he has all the physical gifts but the thing that I’m most impressed with is his competitiveness and his toughness,” Moon explained. “You’ve seen him get injured in ballgames and still come back and make big plays, he pulls out so many games at the end. That’s what great quarterbacks do, so that’s what I really appreciate about him more than anything else.”

    Patrick Mahomes vs Broncos

    During this Chiefs’ Super Bowl run, talk about referee bias in favor of Mahomes & Co. is something that Moon dismisses, because it’s something we’ve seen before with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

    “You know, people say that about every great football team or every great team in general that they get the calls, they get all the breaks,” he said. “They said the same thing about the Patriots, and they didn’t like the Patriots being as great as they were for as long as they were. So that just kind of happens with fans, because unless their team is winning, they don’t want to see anybody else win. I just have an appreciation for whoever is good and a respect for teams and people that are good.”

    We’ll see how the officiating plays out on Sunday, but Moon knows that Mahomes’ magic will be on full display. 

    And if he does lift the Lombardi Trophy once more, that greatest-of-all-time conversation will only have more backing. 

    IMPORTANT INITIATIVE FOR MOON

    Moon was down in the Big Easy on behalf of the NFL Alumni Association and its GEAR UP campaign to raise awareness for cancer screenings, especially colorectal cancer, which goes undetected more than any, because screenings are the only way to detect it. 

    Moon said this is an initiative he jumped to help out with because he has been affected by those with cancer in his own life, including his godmother, who passed away a couple of months ago.

    “It’s called the ‘GEAR UP’ campaign, and it’s our fight against cancer,” he explained. ” There’s so many cancers that are affecting people’s lives – colorectal cancer for one. It’s probably the leading death from cancer in the country, and a lot of people don’t know that. 

    “It’s a cancer that sometimes goes undetected unless you get screenings, so we’re trying to promote to different communities around the country to not only get screened for colorectal cancer, but any type of cancer you might have in your body. The only way to guard against that is to go get these screenings.”

  • Americans’ Super Bowl spending to rise despite inflation worries

    Americans’ Super Bowl spending to rise despite inflation worries

    Americans are getting ready for the Super Bowl to kick off on Sunday, and while spending on festivities related to the big game is up, more fans are wanting to dial it back than wanting to spend more, a new report found.

    A study by LendingTree found that 75% of Americans said they’ll tune into the Super Bowl but that of those who plan to watch nearly one-third, or 31%, say they’ll spend less on Super Bowl festivities than last year – well above the 19% who say they’ll spend more. Half of Americans say their spending will be the same as last year.

    Americans who do plan to spend on Super Bowl festivities expect to spend $142 on average, an increase of 22% from $116 a year ago. The top items they plan to spend on include food and beverages, as well as fan gear.

    “Even though more people are saying they’re going to spend less, the average amount for people who are going to spend was up fairly significantly,” Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree, told FOX Business. “You’re talking about $25 which isn’t going to change most people’s lives, but it’s not nothing either when you’re just talking about getting together to watch a football game with friends.”

    FOOD DEALS ABOUND FOR SUPER BOWL: WHAT CHAINS ARE OFFERING

    “It’s a pretty significant divide there and, again, I just think that you can look back and blame so many things on inflation and high prices and high interest rates and all that, and I think this is another one of those cases most likely,” Schulz said.

    The report noted that 41% of Super Bowl watchers say they’ll place bets related to the game, including 66% of Gen Zers, 59% of parents with young children, 56% of Millennials and 51% of men. Most plan to place smaller bets, with just 41% planning to wager $100 or more and a similar number reporting they’ll use a credit card to place their bets.

    “Certainly, as we’ve seen since the pandemic, sometimes people just like spending more on what they want to spend on in order to kind of make up for how stressful a year it’s been or crazy things have been,” Schulz said.

    LendingTree’s findings come as a separate study conducted by the Bank of America Institute showed that Americans’ spending on spectator sports reached an all-time high in 2024.

    The Bank of America Market Landscape Insights study found that consumers spend an average of $1,122 on sports annually – a figure that includes everything from attending games to buying athletic equipment.

    Super Bowl LIX is coming up and audiences are gearing up for a great game.

    In addition to the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, audiences are looking forward to seeing the commercials airing during the game, which usually star big-name celebrities.

    Dunkin’ Donuts featuring Ben and Casey Affleck and Jeremy Strong

    The DunKings are back, for a new Super Bowl commercial.

    A teaser trailer, which aired during the Grammy Awards, showed Ben Affleck starring in yet another commercial for Dunkin’ Donuts, this time recruiting two more famous Bostonians, his brother Casey Affleck and Jeremy Strong.

    In the teaser trailer, Ben and Casey can be seen wearing bright orange sweaters with Dunkin’ Donuts patches sewn on, with Casey even sporting a bright pink hat and orange sunglasses. The ad starts with Ben pounding on Strong’s dressing room door, with Casey telling him, “Jeremy is a method actor! He will come out when he is ready!”

    Further poking fun at Strong’s reputation for having an intense preparation process, Casey explains that Strong is “doing research,” to which Ben replies, “I never did no research on nothin’! Look where I’m at!” After arguing, the two barge into the dressing room, only to find Strong soaking in a Dunkin’ branded barrel full of coffee grounds.

    “We’re doing a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial, right?” Strong replies confidently, still smothered in coffee. “I’m just trying to find the character. I think I found a way in. You’re from Boston, I’m from Boston. Dunkin’ is Boston. Boston is Paul Revere. One if by land, two if by sea. Red coats are coming.”

    After Strong shares that he would “be ready in like three hours,” Casey quietly whispers to Ben that he “should have paid for Matt,” referring to Matt Damon, who starred alongside Ben in the ad for Dunkin’ Donuts last year.

    The words “Suit up, America” and “Feb. 9, 2025” then flash on the screen.

    Uber Eats featuring Martha Stewart, Matthew McConaughey and Greta Gerwig

    Another set of Super Bowl commercials for Uber Eats have been released ahead of the big game, all starring Matthew McConaughey with different celebrities.

    In the first ad, McConaughey and Martha Stewart are in the kitchen together as she is chopping vegetables for a salad. “So, tell me about your salad, Martha,” he says in the clip, to which Stewart responds, “Well, it’s a Caesar salad.”

    MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, DENNIS QUAID, WOODY HARRELSON PUSH TO MAKE TEXAS NEW HOLLYWOOD

    McConaughey then goes on to point out she’s making the salad, “in a bowl,” eliciting a simple, “Obviously” from Stewart. He then added, “I know what you’re up to. This is a super bowl,” and was met with confusion from Stewart.

    Well, a super bowl is at Caesars to help you sell your Caesars during the Super Bowl, is it not?” McConaughey said, making references to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where the big game will be played.

    An annoyed Stewart then responds, “I just want to focus on my salad,” a nod to her iconic 2002 interview on CBS News’ “The Early Show,” where she said the same sentence when the interviewer tried to ask questions about her insider trading scandal during a cooking segment.

    McConaughey also stars in a series of other ads for Uber Eats in various forms. In one ad, he can be heard leaving multiple voicemails pitching films to director Greta Gerwig.

    In another, McConaughey details his conspiracy theory that football was invented to sell food. The ad features many big stars, including Kevin Bacon, Stewart and Charli XCX. In the end, it turns out the whole thing was him making a pitch to Gerwig.

    HexClad featuring Gordon Ramsay and Pete Davidson

    Gordon Ramsay and Pete Davidson came together to star in the Super Bowl ad for HexClad, which is the first cookware brand to air a commercial during the big game.

    In the ad, the celebrity chef is brought to Area 51, where he is tasked with preparing a meal for a newly-discovered alien species. While there, he comes into contact with a number of aliens, one of whom is attempting to make Ramsay’s signature dish, a beef wellington.

    After learning about the technologically advanced HexClad pans, which he is told were “developed using materials from an alien spacecraft” and were leaked to the public eight years ago, he finds out the alien he is cooking for is actually Davidson.

    When a shocked Ramsay asks, “You’re an alien?” Davidson replies with, “All famous people are aliens.” Still confused, Ramsay points out that he is famous and not an alien, Davidson quips, “I meant like really famous people.” A confused alien then asks Davidson, “Who is this guy?” further poking fun at Ramsay.

    “We had a small list, and Gordon was the one who was like, ‘I want Pete Davidson,’” HexClad co-founder and CEO Danny Winer told The Hollywood Reporter. “It wasn’t a hard sell … Pete was a gem, and the two of them on the set, I mean, the only time there was a second take, it was when they were cracking each other up. There was great chemistry.”

    Mountain Dew featuring Seal and Becky G

    Singers Becky G and Seal star in a new Super Bowl commercial for Mountain Dew, highlighting the Baja Blast flavor, which has hints of tropical lime flavoring.

    The ad starts with Becky G standing in her kitchen, when all of a sudden, the Mountain Dude slides across her center island with a bottle of the Mountain Dew Baja Blast. As soon as the singer takes a sip, she and the Mountain Dude are transported onto a boat in the middle of “Baja Beach.”

    After landing in the boat, Becky G and the Dude come across a rock covered in seals singing a cover of the song “Kiss from a Rose,” starting off with replacing “ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya,” with “baja, baja, baja, baja.” It is soon revealed that the lead singer is in fact, Grammy Award-winning singer, Seal, with his face superimposed on a seal’s body.

    In the rhythm of the song, he continues to sing, “Baby, I compare it to a kiss from a lime, on the bay. Ooh, the more I think of it, it’s strange I’m a seal, yeah. My flippers can’t hold Mountain Dew, what a shame,” as a bottle of Mountain Dew slips onto the rock between his flippers. “There is so much a seal can tell you, so much he can say. Dew remains, my power, my pleasure, my flame.”

    As he wrapped up his song, two Orcas jumped out of the ocean in sync on either side of him, as a volcano erupted behind him, giving his song the cinematic ending it deserved.

    Following the performance, the camera pans back to the boat and a shocked Becky G, who definitively says “this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.” The camera then zooms out to show Seal, now in his human body, sitting with his legs crossed and drinking a bottle of Mountain Dew. “Good-looking seal,” he says.

    “I think Mountain Dew is synonymous with the Super Bowl,” he told Fox News Digital. “The history that those two guys have had together speaks for itself, and so when I got the opportunity to be a part of that, it’s obviously something I jumped at, and I’m so happy I did it, cause it’s put a smile on people’s faces and it’s made people laugh. And it’s made me cool to my kids.”

    Häagen-Dazs featuring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Ludacris

    The cast of “The Fast and the Furious” had a mini reunion when filming the Super Bowl commercial for Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

    In the commercial, Vin Diesel can be seen speeding down a canyon with views of the ocean on one side and his co-star, Michelle Rodriguez, in the passenger seat. As Diesel speeds up, Rodriguez pulls out a chocolate-covered Häagen-Dazs ice cream bar, and smiles as she bites into it.

    In the next clip, Diesel has slowed down the car as the two of them each enjoy an ice cream bar, smile at each other and take in the scenic views surrounding them.

    The two of them are soon joined by Ludacris, who pulls up beside them in a Jeep, and asks, “What happened to fast life?” Diesel just smiles and responds, with a Häagen-Dazs in his hand, “Not today.” A shocked Ludacris shouts, “What? Are y’all kidding me?” as he drives away. 

    Diesel then turns up the music as the words “NOT SO FAST, NOT SO FURIOUS,” flash on the screen.

    In a new Super Bowl ad for the website building company, Squarespace, Barry Keoghan returns to his home country of Ireland to tell everyone how the website can make their lives easier.

    The ad sees Keoghan riding around the countryside on a donkey, with multiple laptops in tow. Throughout the commercial, he encounters many individuals either doing chores or engaging in a hobby, including playing an instrument, shepherding sheep or making horseshoes.

    As he passes them, Keoghan throws a laptop, with the tab open on a website with more information on what they were doing, as he continues to preach about the benefits of Squarespace. 

    The commercial concludes with Keoghan riding off a cliff with his donkey as it continues to walk in thin air. The “Saltburn” actor then explained, “Making real what did be wanting to be, and now does be!” and the words, “A website makes it real” then flashed on the screen.  

    Keoghan’s appearance in the ad and his character’s dialogue was a callback to his role in the critically acclaimed film, “The Banshees of Inisherin,” which was also filmed in Ireland and also featured a donkey as his co-star.  

    NerdWallet featuring Kieran Culkin

    Academy Award-nominated actor, Kieran Culkin, is the voice behind NerdWallet’s latest mascot – the genius whale.

    In a new commercial for the personal finance company, Culkin voices a beluga whale. At the start of the commercial, viewers meet a man on a boat in what appears to be a whale-watching trip, taking pictures of the ocean, as a voice in the background announces that “the beluga whale has the IQ of a human genius.”

    Soon after, the man drops his phone into the ocean, but it’s luckily picked up by Culkin’s genius beluga. The whale then begins to tell the stunned man about the financial benefits of using NerdWallet, while also joking around with the man about being a genius.

    The whale then swims away without giving the man his phone back, as the words “Letting NerdWallet do the work for you is genius,” flash onto the screen.

    “I never expected to be a whale here, but here it is!” Culkin told People earlier this week. “I showed my wife it to see what you think, and she actually laughed really hard.”

    TurboTax featuring Issa Rae

    “Insecure” star Issa Rae can now cross starring in a Super Bowl commercial off her list.

    TurboTax released a 16-second teaser trailer of their commercial for their “done-for-you” tax prep solutions, which is scheduled to air during the big game.

    In the teaser, the actress can be seen carrying a box labeled “TAXES,” full of receipts, which were flying away in the wind. Rae then looks into the camera and says, “It’s 2025! This is taxes?” as the wind blows a piece of paper onto her face.

    The words “A better way is coming. 2.9.25” then appear on the screen.

  • Top NFL Draft prospect talks value of tight ends as Travis Kelce, Dallas Goedert prepare for Super Bowl LIX

    Top NFL Draft prospect talks value of tight ends as Travis Kelce, Dallas Goedert prepare for Super Bowl LIX

    Penn State star and top NFL Draft prospect Tyler Warren is preparing to enter his pro career in just a few short months, but before then, he’ll be able to watch two of the best tight ends in the league battle it out for glory on the biggest stage. 

    Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of Super Bowl LIX this weekend, Warren shared his thoughts on veteran tight ends Travis Kelce and Dallas Goedert and the impact they’ve had not only on the game, but on the value of the position.

    “I think his ability to always seem to get open, whether it’s one way or the other way – he knows what he does well, and he keeps doing that,” Warren said of the Kansas City Chiefs star.  “It’s not about looking a certain way, it’s about doing it and what works for you.” 

    “To keep being able to be this elite receiving tight end and do all that for this long of a period is really impressive. I think it speaks to his craft and how he attacks each game.”

    Warren went on to praise Goedert’s physicality and versatility, recalling his brutal stiff-arm against Packers cornerback Carrington Valentine, which resulted in 24-yard touchdown in the Eagles’ 22–10 victory over Green Bay in the Wild-Card Round.  

    “It’s been awesome to watch,” he said. “I think tight ends have really been on [an upward] trend in just their usage, and they’re valuable. It’s been awesome to watch.

    Warren is surely hoping the value in tight ends carries over to the draft where he is projected to get selected in the first round.

    Warren had a standout year at Penn State, earning the John Mackey Award as the nation’s best tight end. En route to the College Football Playoff semifinal, Mackey finished the season with 104 receptions for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. He rushed for another 218 yards and four touchdowns.

    Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24, Warren has made a special commitment to his health and fitness journey by partnering with Planet Fitness. 

    “When you go there, it could be a guy that’s been going for 20 years, or it could be your first day, and you know there’s going to be a spot for you in there and a welcoming environment,” Warren told Fox News Digital.

  • Saints legend Drew Brees among many praising increased safety measures at Super Bowl LIX

    Saints legend Drew Brees among many praising increased safety measures at Super Bowl LIX

    The city of New Orleans started off 2025 in a tragic way, as a terror attack on its famous Bourbon Street killed 14 people and injured 57 others. 

    While the city, and the country for that matter, mourned together, it was only natural that many looked ahead to this week, Super Bowl LIX week, in the Big Easy.

    How safe would the thousands be in this city just one month after the horrific attack?

    Several former and current NFL stars spoke with Fox News Digital about how safe they feel being in New Orleans at the moment, and Drew Brees, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback of the Saints, explained what has been clear since this week began. 

    “You notice the law enforcement presence everywhere you go,” Brees said. “Every street that I’ve driven down, you feel the presence. I hope everybody feels safe. This is meant to be a celebration, it’s meant to be everybody coming together having a good time. Looking out for one another, but having a great time. 

    “I think that New Orleans, the NFL and everyone involved has done a phenomenal job. The state of Louisiana, Governor [Jeff] Landry, everyone’s done a phenomenal job to make sure everyone feels safe, relaxed and having a good time.”

    HOW TO WATCH SUPER BOWL LIX BETWEEN CHIEFS, EAGLES STREAMED ON TUBI

    Brees’ Saints teammate Mark Ingram II reiterated his feeling of safety in the city he always loves coming back to, especially when football is involved. 

    Ingram spoke to the resilience of the people within this great city, and he firmly believes that no other place in the country could be safer right now. 

    “There’s no better place to be as far as safety right now than New Orleans,” he said. “There’s military out here with ARs like every block. Police, undercovers. I know what happened was tragic, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by that. Everyone was affected by it. But right now, the city has responded, and the NFL has responded. Walking around the city, there’s no safer place to be right now in America than right here in New Orleans.

    “New Orleans is a resilient city. The people are resilient and strong, so kind and it’s always a blessing to come back to New Orleans, to a city that’s so important to me. It’s been a huge part of my life.”

    Green Bay Packers star Josh Jacobs added: “With everything that went on in this city, and in this world lately, I think that it’s an extreme importance to be able to feel safe and protected. The people out there on a day-by-day basis giving themselves and putting their bodies and lives on the line, they have the most gratitude and respect from me. I love what they’re doing.”

    “When I got in last night, there’s a couple road blocks, the front of the hotel was blocked. It was like this was the most secure I’ve ever felt,” free agent receiver Braxton Berrios mentioned. “National Guard, military, police across all bases they have covered. Tremendous job by them, and we really appreciate it.”

    Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday the Department of Homeland Security has “no credible threats” on Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. 

    New Orleans is expecting upwards of 125,000 visitors to converge on its city limits, where parties, concerts and other events will be happening throughout the week leading up to the game. 

    “We’re going above and beyond what we’ve seen in the past when we’ve hosted previously,” New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said during a news conference. “We know we’re safer than we’ve ever been before.”

    Safety will be at the forefront, with state, federal and local law enforcement officers with boots on the ground during the Super Bowl, Lanier said, though details about protocol were not disclosed. 

    Agencies including the FBI and Secret Service will be around the stadium and downtown New Orleans, according to DeLaune. They will include rooftop snipers, BearCat armored SWAT vehicles and more. 

    There will also be federal air marshals, who are armed, stationed around the city’s public transportation hubs scanning for suspicious people and activity, while also guarding against drones. There is a ban on drones around the Superdome and downtown New Orleans throughout the week and flight restrictions up to 18,000 feet, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

  • Drew Brees looking forward to Tom Brady’s FOX broadcast for Super Bowl LIX: ‘Going to do a great job’

    Drew Brees looking forward to Tom Brady’s FOX broadcast for Super Bowl LIX: ‘Going to do a great job’

    New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees is excited to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have a rematch in the Super Bowl, but he is also excited about who he will hear during that game. 

    Tom Brady, who shared some fun matchups against Brees throughout their illustrious careers, will be alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt calling the game on FOX as they have throughout the legendary quarterback’s inaugural season in the booth. 

    Brees spoke with Fox News Digital on Radio Row at Super Bowl LIX in the Big Easy, where he explained how much fun he has had listening to Brady this year.

    “You can’t argue the knowledge base a guy like Tom Brady brings to the booth,” Brees said while also discussing his partnership with Aldi. “It’s fun to listen to him because obviously being right there alongside him from the perspective of playing the game as long as we did, you see the game, you process the game different. 

    “The way that you articulate certain situations, obviously what you’re thinking, maybe the way the offense is trying to attack the defense, or vice versa, there’s just a perspective and insight that exists with the guys who played the position in the current game. I think he’s going to do a great job.”

    Brees knows the pressure that being in the broadcast booth can bring someone, even if it is a quarterback who has once played in front of thousands and millions more at home watching. 

    HOW TO WATCH SUPER BOWL LIX BETWEEN CHIEFS, EAGLES STREAMED ON TUBI

    He was in the booth himself a couple of seasons ago with NBC, though it came to an end after just one year alongside Mike Tirico. 

    While Brees may be looking to get back in the broadcast booth himself, he is enjoyed hearing Brady in his first season, and there is no bigger stage than what will be going down at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday.

    Both Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks know that all too well as players. 

    The game should provide some heated competition between these two teams who already saw each other in the “Big Game” just two seasons ago. 

    It was CBS’ Jim Nantz and Tony Romo on the call when a critical hold from Eagles cornerback James Bradberry on Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster ultimately led to a game-winning field goal from Harrison Butker in a game that went back and forth throughout. It provided worlds of debate, highlight-reel plays and viral moments that many believe will happen again. 

    It is a different way to prepare for a Super Bowl for Brady this time, but his peers are looking forward to how he performs on this new side of the biggest stage in football. 

    GEARING UP FOR GAMEDAY WITH ALDI

    While watching Brady, Brees knows the Super Bowl means having some good eats going on the grill and in the kitchen. 

    He teamed up with Aldi, who has up to 25% off some of the most popular food items that shoppers need for the “Big Game.”

    Brees spoke about heading into Aldi to get those gameday essentials for his family, and he was blown away by the whole experience.

    “I’ll be honest with you, it’s one of the cleanest, most inviting grocery stores I’ve ever been in to,” Brees explained. “My wife and I have been shopping there for a while. We couldn’t be more impressed, and obviously, the selection is the best. 

    “Whatever you’re doing on gameday with your friends and family, I know everybody likes wings, you got a plate of wings. Burgers, dogs, steaks, whatever it is. I know in the Brees household, gameday is the opportunity to gather as a family, cook up great food and play a little ball in the backyard while you’re watching the game.”
