badda-bing


I always liked Sal Sunseri. A leader at linebacker of the great Pittsburgh defenses of the late 1970s, early '80s, Sunseri was a captain and All American in 1981. Since his playing days ended, Sunseri has become a respected coach and is currently the outside linebackers coach for defending national champion Alabama.

From the look of this photo he has found places to get scungilli salad and tripe stew in Tuscaloosa. But that just means there is more of Sunseri to appreciate. That his name ends in a vowel and he makes a good living off of college football is really enough for me but then I find out that Sunseri has another claim to fame. The full name of his son, Tino, a promising quarterback for Pitt, is Santino Michael Sunseri and he was named after two of the Corleone sons from The Godfather. How great is that?
