OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- In the spring of 2001, the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens held their first minicamp with one notable absence.
Tony Siragusa -- a.k.a. "the Goose" -- wasn’t in the defensive line meeting room. But, teammates heard he was planning to make a big splash. Then, a loud noise was heard throughout the team facility. Everyone ran out to the practice field.
Siragusa arrived in a helicopter, which landed squarely on the 50-yard line. The boisterous 350-pound defensive tackle hopped out and hammed it up in front of his teammates, pointing at his flexed right biceps.
