Tributes continue to pour in for Tony Siragusa, the former Baltimore Ravens great and Fox Sports personality, who died at the age of 55 earlier this week.
Shannon Sharpe played with Siragusa on the Ravens in 2000 and 2001, and the two were teammates in Super Bowl 35, when Baltimore defeated the New York Giants.
As expected, he was completely heartbroken when the news came down that his good friend had lost his life at such a young age.
“I’m heartbroken. I’m crushed. I really don’t even know what to say about my good friend, teammate, and draft-mate Tony Siragusa,” Sharpe said in a video posted to Twitter.
“I just saw Goose a month ago when we were filming a ’30 for 30′ on the 2000 Ravens. He walked up to me and said, ‘I see you’re still working out and eating bulljive.’ I said to him, ‘I see you’re not working out, eating bulljive.’ We laughed, we hugged, it was a great time. We spent about 5-6 hours together just talking, laughing and reminiscing – and now he’s gone.”
Sharpe said he was “heartbroken” for Siragusa’s immediate family, but concluded the video with a message: “I have one thing to say big fella … Next time I see you, I’m gonna need my restitution. You embarrassed me on national television. Rest easy, Goose.”
Prayers go out to the family and friends of Tony Siragusa during this hard time.
