With Bill Romanowski, Redskins Would Bring Juicing Into Locker Room

3:02 pm EST February 11th, 2010 | Sports | 7 Comments

Apparently the Redskins are interviewing former player Bill Romnaowski for a strength/conditioning coach position. Bad idea. Aside from being a jerk (spitting in people’s faces), Romanowski has a shady history in just this department:

Oakland Raiders linebacker Bill Romanowski obtained human growth hormone from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative and injected it into his knee, the football star’s wife told Colorado authorities in 1999.

Julie Romanowski made the statement to a Douglas County Sheriff’s official and a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent who questioned her in a probe of suspected prescription drug fraud, according to an investigator’s report obtained by The Chronicle.

The report indicates that Victor Conte’s BALCO firm provided the banned performance-enhancing substance to Romanowski more than three years before the Burlingame company came under federal investigation for its alleged role in a worldwide sports doping scandal.

Is everyone in the NFL squeaky clean? Of course not, but Romanowski has too much baggage.

    Motherfucker let his wife take the fall, if I recall correctly. So not only was Romo a first-class cocksucker, but he gave Roger Clemens ideas on how to dodge accountabilty.

    That said, he’d be a perfect fit for the Washington NFL team that’s named for a slur against Native Americans.

    Bill will have the players take his Nutrition53 supplements

    If Snyder hires this roid-raging PoS I’m done with the ‘Skins til they get a new owner.

    In 2003, Romanowski attacked and injured one of his teammates, Marcus Williams, during a scrimmage. Williams, a backup tight end for the Oakland Raiders, was forced to retire after Romanowski confronted Williams after a play, ripped off his helmet, and crushed his eye socket with a punch. Williams sued for damages of $3.4 million, arguing that Romanowski had been suffering from “roid rage” when he attacked him. This argument was later rejected by the judge on the grounds that Williams could not prove that Romanowski had actually used steroids on the same day as the attack. Williams was awarded $340,000.

    and

    while still with the Broncos, he was fined a total of $42,500 for three illegal hits plus a punch thrown at Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez, and was also fined an undisclosed amount for throwing a football at Bryan Cox of the New York Jets, the ball hitting him in the crotch area.

    oh, and

    He also appears on the cover of the latest edition of Blitz: The League, an extra-violent football video game.

    “I can talk smack, kick, punch, spit, knee you in the groin, and it’s all legal,” Romanowski said of the video game in a recent interview with IGN.com, a gaming website. “This is my type of game.”

    Romo was famous for soiling himself at the beginning of a game so the O-linemen would be hesitant to block him.

    Yeah, fuck this guy.

    How does this guy keep turning up? Just the spitting incident should have made him unsuitable for TV color commentary. He’s a poor example for anyone.

    I vote with the majority. Fuck Romo.

    The only place this guy should be is the home stands in Oakland with the rest of those freaks.

    Look on the bright side… he would give the skins a fresh face to blame for their failures.
