I saw Siragusa and said to him "how 'bout them Seahawks!?" He grumpily looked up from his phone and said, "yeah, they look pretty good buddy". I'm so pissed at myself that I only thought to give him crap about the "Russell Williams" gaffe after the fact. Would have loved to hear his response to that.
I'd say Siragusa gave you a passably decent response for the circumstances. At last check, he's human too. What's to be gained by pressing his buttons reminding him of his screwups? As if the rest of us never screw up? The guy has a lot of irons in the fire, and give him credit for making a go of a few things.
Why not instead ask him about something from the Sopranos, or about any especially cool upcoming episodes of The Man Caves show he hosts, or ask him what he thinks the best defenses since the 2000 Ravens have been. Ask him what's best to order at Tiff's. (His restaurant) I bet he'd talk to someone for a minute or two about the Man Caves show if nothing else.
All that's assuming you'd actually rather have an interesting conversation with a celeb instead of simply try to press his buttons.
