I have always thought he looked like a JEST fan.

Sleep apnea leading to an enlarged heart and cardiac arrest?

[Mango]

it feels like more and more people are dying way too young and for a million different reasons. Sort of scary. 

[Mark Vader]

Sad news, he was a throwback player for sure. RIP

 

Although I question calling him an "NFL Legend".

I first started getting into the NFL when Siragusa helped anchor that terrific Baltimore defense. What a loss. Another childhood idol gone. RIP

I’ve been reading Paper Lion and Seven Days To Sunday about 1960s NFL and all the characters. Tony fit right into that mold and will be missed. He was a throwback for sure. 

 

If you want something in a similar vein and haven't read it, check out 'Fatso: Football When Men Were Really Men' by former Baltimore Colts lineman and all-around character Art Donovan.

 

RIP, Goose. 55 is way too young.

This is another shocker.

 

He also guest starred on The Sopranos and had a great scene where he told a high Christopher "shut u you little #### or I'll split your ***** wishbone".

We never did see Jimmy Spagnola & Tony Siragusa in the same room.  I wonder if this means no more JS posts?

I will check it out. Also going to check out Alex Kara’s’ autobiographies (he wrote two!). The stories about him in Paper Lion are hilarious.

Look at his pic. He resembles every stereotypical 'fuhgettaboutit' Jest fan.

Well, he was from New Jersey, born there, died there.

Yeah, I was just clarifying for JakeFrommStateFarm who was responding to a post made upthread by Limeaid.

How sad.  I recall watching him play.  NFL players have a short life span.

Ok but Jets fans are from NY. Bills fans are from NY.

 

I can't believe the two would look all that different

Very sad to hear! Was fun to listen to and had a very good career! RIP big boy!

Wow rough week for the Ravens
