description: 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 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.
