(The elder) Mark Ingram currently on the lam.

Well, this is no good:

An arrest warrant has been issued for former New York Giants star Mark Ingram after he failed to report to federal prison to begin serving nearly eight years for bank fraud and money laundering.

It's also, unfortunately, not at all unexpected, as Mr. Ingram has tried all sorts of things to avoid prison time, firing a litany of court-appointed attorneys at one point even filing a motion claiming that he was immune from prosecution due to his being a foreign head-of-state - despite his having been born in Rockford, Illinois.

I really don't much care what happens with respect to the elder Mr. Ingram, but I am concerned about the effect all this could be having on his son, our own Mark Ingram. I would imagine that this is all very difficult for him, especially as he deals with finals and preparations for a BCS bowl game.

Several articles earlier this fall indicated that the elder Ingram was "trying to keep his son from making the same mistakes...".

Let's keep the young Mark in our thoughts and prayers, and hope that the elder Mark gets his act together and does the right thing, ASAP.

I hope Ingram Sr.

turns himslef in. 8 years is a long time, but he can do the time and have a life afterwards. But to run from the conviction is no life at all. The only way to help his son is to face up to what he did.

Ingram Sr

If you look at his record, this is not the first time he’s been in this type of trouble, and unfortunately I doubt it will be the last. Some people just can’t seem to stay within the letters of the law. Shawshank ftw.

Mark

if you need a place to stay, give me a call. I have a cot in my garage and my wife made a huge tub of spaghetti sauce that will last the rest of the week.

Peace,

The junior Mark

has been on record saying that his father’s problems have very little effect on him nowadays. This isn’t a problem for him at all. His ties to his dad have been pretty loose for a while.

I don't want to seem like a traitor but. . . I freakin love corndogs.

That's true...

…and it’s not. Mark Jr. has obviously done a fine job not getting distracted this season, but no matter how loose your ties are to your father, he’s still your father. It still affects you. You still need prayer and support.

After I heard how Ingram Jr. came to our fine university

I quit worrying about his father’s role in his life. This young man has observed and learned from his father’s problems and has no desire to follow in his footsteps in the regard.

In this case...

…Mark has the added disadvantage that he and his father have the same name. I’m just thankful he has a coach like CNS. I thing HE will be the major influence in this young man’s life.

^^^maybe THAT^^^^^^^

should be the topic of your prayers? And that he has the opportunity to be so far physically removed from the situation. That really does help a lot. Having the stress be many miles away with the more positive influences beside you can change your whole life, if you allow it.
