Romo: My Life on the Edge: Living Dreams and Slaying Dragons

Autor Bill Romanowski
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 sep 2006
The full-throttle autobiography of renowned bad-boy linebacker, Bill “Romo” Romanowski.
Bill Romanowski is a caring, articulate, intelligent father of two. But when he walks onto the gridiron he becomes a wild man, the most hated and dirtiest player in the national football league, who will do whatever it takes to win. After 17 seasons and 34 concussions, Romo has seen it all, and now he’s ready to tell about it in this eye-opening memoir of real life in the NFL.
Romo tears up the turf, revealing the incredible lengths to which he’s gone to maintain a winning edge, and he comes completely clean about his indictment and acquittal for phentermine use. He also talks plenty of smack about his opponents and his own Dr. Jekyll side: as a linebacker who spit in the face of wide receiver J. J. Stokes; who punched out his own Raiders teammate Marcus Williams; who broke the jaw of then Giants quarterback Kerry Collins; and who was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars by the NFL. As entertaining as it is brutal, as educational as it is newsworthy, Romo is must reading for fans everywhere.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Off the field, Bill Romanowski was a caring father and devoted husband.
On the field, Romo was unstoppable, terrorizing the NFL for sixteen brutal years.
Some players called him a throwback, some called him mean, some called him dirty. But they all respected him and would much rather have played with him than against him. Coaches loved Romo for the heart and soul he gave to the game. He was rewarded with two Pro Bowl appearances and four Super Bowl rings, but it all came at a heavy price: dozens of concussions that have led to dizzy spells, memory lapses...and questionable choices that undermined his integrity. Would he do it all over again? Romo the intimidating linebacker would in a heartbeat. Bill Romanowski, however, would do things differently today.
