He was the classic example of what's wrong with football today. Just an asshole.

Okay, NS, judge for yourself...from Wikipedia.com...
"Known as a highly intense, aggressive player, Romanowski has been involved in numerous altercations with both teammates and opponents. In 1989, while with the 49ers, he brawled with offensive tackle Harris Barton after Barton had taken exception to a hit Romanowski had made on wide receiver Jerry Rice during a practice session. In 1995, while with the Eagles, he was ejected from a game — and subsequently fined $4,500 — for kicking Arizona Cardinals running back Larry Centers in the head.
Romanowski, while with the Broncos, after a Super Bowl XXXII victory over the PackersThree more incidents occurred during the 1997 season while he played for the Broncos: In the first, he was fined $20,000 after his hit on then-Carolina Panthers quarterback Kerry Collins in a preseason game resulted in Collins sustaining a broken jaw that kept him out of action that entire season; in the second, Romanowski spat in the face of 49ers wide receiver J.J. Stokes in a regular-season game played in December on a Monday night; and in the third — in the AFC Championship game — Romanowski almost precipitated a full-scale brawl after he taunted Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart following an interception Stewart had thrown in the third quarter of the game, won by Denver. Two years later, 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.
In August of 2000, Romanowski was indicted by a grand jury in Denver for allegedly obtaining phentermine, a diet drug with stimulant properties, under false pretenses; he was later acquitted of this charge, but during the trial he made statements to the media many regarded as being racially insensitive. Another on-the-field incident, resulting in a $7,500 fine, followed in 2001.
On August 24, 2003, as a member of the Raiders, Romanowski punched backup tight end Marcus Williams in the face during a preseason scrimmage; Williams sustained a broken eye socket and was ultimately forced to retire, leading to Williams filing a civil lawsuit against Romanowski, seeking $3.8 million in damages. Following a three-week trial, a jury awarded Williams $340,000 in compensatory damages on March 22, 2005.
Bill Romanowski was featured in the 2005 remake The Longest Yard starring Adam Sandler.
Romanowski has also been linked to the BALCO steroid scandal, and in an interview with Scott Pelley that aired on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes on October 16, 2005, he openly admitted to using steroids during the last three years of his NFL career. Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino called Romanowski "sad" regarding his admittance."

Howie Long was supposedly a big jerk on the field too... I suppose Romo should have considered a different career if he didnt want to end up a vegetable.
Romo the traffic cop.
Romo the security guard.
Romo the janitor.
Romo the guidance counselor.
I dont think those would have worked out to good for him either.
Jeff George is an asshole.

Darth Raider wrote:The Nation is ready to watch the Steelers FALL
SORRY! Not going to happen and I know what the "experts" are saying, but I think the STEELERS are going to Win BIG! WHOO HOO!!!
For the sake of argument, even if they did lose, they'd still be 2nd Best in the Nation, hardly a "fall".
In the "Raider Nation", mind you, you'll have to be content to play with your "Darth Raider Helmets and Light Sabers", for the Raiders will have another bad season later this year just like they have for how many? But that's okay...Somebody's got to win, like the STEELERS and somebody's got to lose, like the Raiders. Know your role.

FIRST: we will witness the Steelers come up short once again
Then we will take their offensive coordinator and Randy Moss shall become more talented than any other receiver
I was gonna say you must have some really good beans, but it has to be stronger than beans for such a good hallucination! "Darth Tatum", is that for Tatum O'Neal, the actress?
killjingle, it's not so dark if you have your Light Sabre, hahahahaha!
GO STEELERS!
