(CNN)In 2001Tony Silagsa, who played an important role in the Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl championship team, suddenly Wednesday morning, according to a statement from the deceased team. The
team announcement did not mention the cause or location of his death.
"The Silagusa family wants everyone to respect their privacy during this difficult time," the organization said.
Siragusa played for Indianapolis Colts and Ravens for 12 years as a defensive tackle and worked as a deputy analyst for the NFL broadcast on the network for nearly 10 years before working for Fox Sports from 2003 to 2015. I did.
"This is difficult. I love goose like my brothers," said former Ravens superstar Ray Lewis. "From the first day we met, I knew that life was different. I knew he was the one who would change my life forever. He made you feel important and special. He was a unique person who was sick and could never be replaced. Such a man.
"In the field, he was the ultimate competitor who brought out the best of all of us. "It was."
Former running back Jamal Lewis said Silagusa was one, Lewis said, "Among the most humble and weird people he knew, they were." Was a neighbor in the locker room on Game Day.
"He never bothered and never enjoyed life," Lewis said. It makes me joking and at the same time cheers me up.
"If we realized we were trapped inside, we already knew who did it," Sharp told ESPN in 2021. And it was a goose.
Siragusa appeared in four episodes of "The Sopranos" as a minor character named Frankie Cortese and appeared in the 2002 Spike Lee movie "25 o'clock".
As a bystander analyzing Fox's games, Siragusa was sometimes known for his crazy outfits. In a match in London, he wore a bowler and a dark pea coat. In the holiday game, he wore a Christmas tree sweater.
"Today is a very sad day for Baltimore Ravens," owner Steve Bisciotti said in a statement. "Thanks to everyone who has expressed their support for the players, coaches and staff."
