It could be Andrew Dice Clay, but this comedian is named Tony Siragusa. Willing to toss out one-liners on any subject, get ready to hear a lot from Siragusa in the next two weeks. He led the team with 10.5 sacks and was second among defensive linemen in tackles. A reporter asked Brian Billick last week whether Sharpe was everything he had hoped for. Billick answered by asking reporters whether Sharpe was everything the media had hoped for.
Sharpe is funny, sharp and always available.
He does not hide behind cliches like most coaches and is not afraid to speak his mind. The chances of him saying something controversial the next two weeks are pretty good. Three months ago, Dilfer's career was comatose. Turned loose by the Bucs, he signed a bargain contract with the Ravens and spent the first half of the season on the bench. When Baltimore went into an October offensive funk, Dilfer got a chance and, after losing his first start, has won 10 straight.
