He was a lousy punk his whole career, and frankly, got away with it a lot more than a black athlete would have, media wise.
Role model? Bah! Too hell with them!
Who exactly would approve that?
If there was even an NFL player adversly affected by steroids, Romanowski is a sure candidate. He's gone from spitting to punching.
It was very, very painful. I hope Romanowski is fined by the NFL for five times the yearly salary of the player and it's turned over in full to the injured party. Bad manners is inexcusable.
Makes you wonder........JUICE?
What you said!
Romanowski is goping to lose this case and it is going to cost him a bunch.
I wonder if Dan Dierdorf, that racist, self righteous, smarmy baffoon will dog Romanowski like he did Andre Waters for so long? Nah....White thugs on the field are motivated professionals. Black guys on the field who hit hard and are motivated professionals are cheap shot artists and gangsta's to Dierdorf.
1. Bill Romanowski
2. Dick Butkus (in his playing days)
3. Several other players, some coaches and all too many fans (to be named later, as they say)
Butkus did an interview while he was playing where he said that before every game he went back to an image from a horror movie, I think it was "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte." It had the severed head of one of the murder victims bouncing down the stairs like a bowling ball. He then picked one player on the opposing offense who he would try to do that to.
It's part of the culture of football. Unfortunately some people (Romo, but probably not Butkus) can't get past the idea that it's a metaphor and you don't want to live your life that way.
My Niners were right when they dumped Romanowski at the height of his career. He isn't a healthy individual and has always done more harm than good, wherever he's been, regardless of some really spectacular individual plays.
He needs some serious therapy or, at the very least, some major medication.
Whoa, Dierdorf??? I've never heard a racist word from him. Did I miss something?
Like duh...no wonder about it.
Dierdorf had a few folk on his go to list of "Bad Players". He found Andre' Waters extremely distasteful as well as the trench guys of color that worked for Buddy Ryan during the "Body Bag Bowl" and the "Porkchop Bowl" days in the 80's. He would get on MNF and just tear the players for their behavior, attitude, lack of intellect, and seemed to infer that ferocity on the field was something else if you were on his list.
Well, welcome to the Mr. Obvious show......
Not feeling well and get agitated? Take Prozac. Now feel dull from the Prozac........Take Adderal. Now too edgy and wound up from the adderall(speed)......Take some Klonopin to help you calm down. Now feel too groggy in the morning from the Klonopin? Up you dose schedule of Adderal........Feeling paranoid from the amphetamine psychosis caused by the Adderal? Take some Olanzapine to boost the efficacy of the Prozac.
Welcome to the world of modern psychiatry. The pracice is rarely anything other than your street dealer in the 60's with a nice office.
So he was ripping Buddy Ryan?
Romanowski is a scumbag - and a mediocre linebacker, too.
