Ecco una bio che ho trovato sul trascorso di "Da Man" nel football:
Goldberg, Bill
William Scott Goldberg
Better known as professional wrestler "Goldberg," he was drafted in the 11th
round (301st overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 1990. Goldberg played in 14
career NFL games for the Atlanta Falcons before an abdominal injury ended
his professional football career.
Birth and Death Dates:
b. December 27, 1966
Career Highlights:
Before his brief NFL career (and wrestling career), Goldberg was an
excellent defensive lineman at Georgia in the 1980s. After redshirting, he
became a starter as a sophomore in 1987. That season, he started every game
and became the first Georgia lineman in four years to record 100 tackles --
his 107 tackles broke the school record by an interior lineman. Georgia had
a record of 9-3-0 and defeated Arkansas 20-17 in the Liberty Bowl.
In 1988, Goldberg took over at nose guard and was named All-SEC by UPI and
SEC coaches. The Bulldogs had a record of 9-3-0 and defeated Michigan 34-27
in the Gator Bowl. Unfortunately, two nights before the game, Bill
experimented with marijuana. The next day the team performed a random drug
test and Goldberg failed. By his own admission this was the worst experience
of his life. He was banned from playing in the Gator Bowl against Michigan.
In the offseason, however, he worked harder than ever before and bulked up
while staying away from drugs.
In 1989, Goldberg was named All-SEC first team and Football News All-America
second team as he had his best season at Georgia. He recorded 121 tackles
(breaking his own school record for tackles by an interior lineman) and 8
sacks as the Bulldogs had a record of 6-6-0. He graduated with 348 career
tackles, seventh all-time in school history.
Drafted in the 11th round by the Los Angeles Rams, Goldberg failed to make
the team in 1989 and 1990. Frustrated at the lack of progress, Goldberg
joined the World League Of Football and the Sacramento Surge. In 1992, the
Surge defeated the Orlando Thunder to win the WLAF championship -- Goldberg
recorded three sacks that year. In 1992, the Atlanta Falcons signed Goldberg
from the WLAF. He played 14 games in three years for the Falcons then the
abdominal injury in a preseason game crippled his career. Goldberg's
contract was claimed by the Carolina Panthers in the expansion draft but the
injury prevented him from making the team.
In 1995, Goldberg gave up his lifelong dream of NFL stardown and retired.
After working in Atlanta area gyms as a personal trainer, Goldberg decided
to give pro wrestling a shot. Bill said that while in Athens with some
college friends: "...somehow the TV wound up on professional wrestling. I
said to them, 'Wouldn't it be a trip if that was me up there in the ring?'
'Yeah, right,' said Scott, 'I can see it now: G.I. Jew to the rescue. You
could tie up your opponent in the figure four -- skin!'" Despite the jokes,
Goldberg did become a wrestler and quickly became the biggest name in the
'sport' as GOOOLLLDDDBEEERGGG was heard in arenas around the United States.
Origin:
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Career Dates:
Goldberg played on the defensive line for the University of Georgia,
1986-1989. He then played as a defensive tackle in the NFL for the Atlanta
Falcons, 1992-1994.
