NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano reflects on childhood dream of calling a Browns game

The Browns had a new play-by-play guy in the booth, fulfilling his childhood dream

The Cleveland Browns sit at 3-2 on the season after beating the San Francisco 49ers at home. And NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano had one of the best radio calls you will hear as Niners’ kicker Jake Moody pushed the game-winning kick wide right. Siciliano, of course, was in the seat with Nathan Zegura as normal commentator Jim Donovan continues to fight his battle with cancer. He and Chris Rose have called games with Zegura in Donovan’s absence and have done quite a valiant job.

Siciliano then went on the Rich Eisen Show to discuss what he called a “childhood dream” to call a Browns game as he grew up a diehard Browns fan. He even addressed his freak-out as Moody missed the kick to seal the win for Cleveland.

NFL Red Zone’s Andrew Siciliano misses show after positive COVID-19 test

Andrew Siciliano missed his first show after 260 in a row following a positive test for COVID-19.

Well-wishes go out to NFL Network and Red Zone’s Andrew Siciliano. The constant for 260 consecutive shows told fans on Twitter he was missing his first after a positive COVID-19 test.

Siciliano said he had another test that came back negative but out of fairness and caution to his colleagues he would take the day off.

Hopefully, the negative test is the correct one and this is a one-week miss.

Arians says bringing back the entire defense is ‘very realistic’

Hear what Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians had to say at the NFL Scouting Combine regarding the future of the team’s defense.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians joined NFL Network’s NFL NOW program to discuss Shaquil Barrett and the entire defensive front seven’s future with the Buccaneers.

“Well, I think, it’s how you get it done,” Arians replied to Andrew Siciliano about how you get a deal done with Barrett, who is likely in store for a large payday this offseason. “How did he get it done? Great worker, tremendous talent. It wasn’t like guys were falling down in front of him. He was getting them. The defense fits him perfectly and I think Todd Bowles utilized him tremendously. Having Jason Pierre-Paul back on the other side would help also. So we are trying to make sure we keep our pass rushers.”

“It’s very realistic to bring them all back,” Arians said of bringing back the Buccaneers front seven on defense. “They all enjoyed playing defense for Todd [Bowles] and our organization. It’s just a matter of getting them paid.”

Arians also made a note that he was not too happy about the uniform changes because he has great style and wasn’t approached.
