I'm probably a lone in this, but I think Saragusa purposely called Russell Wilson "Russell Williams" and Doug Baldwin "Jonathan Baldwin". Just to be a you know what. He can get away with it because most people think it's an honest mistake, but sorry, not me. That's back to back weeks now where Tony has missed big time. I'm not buying it.

It was David that called him johnathon, not Siragusa. And it's not on purpose, it happens. I'm a substitute teacher so I'm with 30 different kids every day, just like having to know 32 different sets of players, I'm calling kids the wrong names all the time. It's not a big deal, but still funny and we can poke fun at it.

Siragusa is pretty worthless most of the time on the sideline, but compared to a lot of the "in depth reporting" we get from sideline folks he is actually somewhat entertaining as a big oaf. I swear he was majorly hungover at that Ravens game (Russell Williams). Must have been partying hard the night before.

Except it wasn't Siragusa that called Doug the wrong name. That was Charles Davis. So either it's a big conspiracy where that whole crew is doing it on purpose...or you're paranoid.

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.

That's a cool experience thanks for sharing. I'm glad he responded to you. I didn't have much issue with the announcing this game

Maybe it's just me, but I find it funny when they mess up names. I remember a 49ers game a few years ago when some announcer called Frank Gore "Al Gore" several times and I thought it was hilarious...lol

Rams/seahawks is a perfect game for these guys
I predict we get them a third week in row this week.
They seem to show up when one of the two teams are not very good. Baltimore, cleveland, now St louis
