The Saints appear to be heading towards another losing season as New Orleans played poorly in a 28-13 loss to the Detroit Lions. The Black and Gold committed 10 penalties and Quarterback Drew Brees threw three interceptions. Detroit jumped out to a 10-0 lead, which did not please Coach Sean Payton…:
Cut 16 (16) “lose that battle”
The loss drops New Orleans record to 5-7 as they next head to Tampa.

Payton also addressed the rumors that Brandin Cooks will be in off-season trade talks over the wide receiver’s frustration that he’d not been getting much ball time. Payton says it was a false report and, “garbage.”

In the NBA, the Pelicans fell to Oklahoma City 101-92 Sunday night.

The LSU Tigers will conclude the 2016 season by facing Louisville in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve day in Orlando, Florida. LSU Head Coach Ed Orgeron is proud to represent the Bayou Bengals in the bowl game…:

It will be an early start on New Year’s eve day as the game will kickoff at 11 AM eastern, 10 AM central time.
