One of the biggest personalities that the NFL has ever seen has passed away as Tony Siragusa died Wednesday at the age of just 55. He’s remembered as a key part of the dominant Baltimore Ravens defense that captured Super Bowl XXXV. He started his NFL career with the Colts and was also a sideline reporter for NFL coverage on Fox.
Before his NFL career however, Siragusa starred at a rival of Notre Dame’s, as the Goose was a force for Pitt from 1985-1989 before signing an undrafted free agent contract with the Colts. While at Pitt, the Goose delivered an all-time quote that took a rib at Notre Dame and Penn State.
“If I wanted to learn a school song, I would’ve gone to Notre Dame or Penn State. I want to kill people on the football field. That’s why I came to Pitt.” – Tony Siragusa
Regardless of your thoughts on Pitt football, that quote belongs on a t-shirt at the bookstore.
RIP to a great player and all-time personality that went miles in making football fun.
