Didn’t like “The Goose” very much after I first noticed him playing against the Ravens when Tony Siragusa was a defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts in 1996. It was at the old Hoosier Dome, which was one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.
We were on our way to a 26-21 loss, our fourth defeat in five games, when Tony sacked quarterback Vinny Testaverde for a 13-yard loss. Not only did Siragusa celebrate on the field, he waved his arms like he was a flying goose when the stadium cameras found him on the sideline. The crowd went wild.
