In a separate tweet, Irsay said:

“The Goose squeezed 200 fun loving years into 55!! He was one of the most physically strongest players I have ever seen in 50 years In Greece,they would ask 1 question at the end of one’s life; Did He Have Passion? In Tony’s case..Yes He Did!!”

Great memory of Goose. We were in locker room during slow week. Goose holding court about absolutely nothing. Clarence Verdin (CNN) came in, yapping. Goose miffed his audience was interrupted, turned over bin that held dirty towels, stuffed Clarence in it, returned to talking. https://t.co/K9Y2ey76zl
