William Thomas Romanowski (born April 2, 1966) is a retired American football linebacker.
He played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos, and the Oakland Raiders in the National Football League (NFL).
Early life and education
Romanowski was born in Vernon, Connecticut. He graduated from Rockville High School in 1984 and Boston College in 1988 with academic distinctions, and he was a recipient of the Scanlan Award.
NFL career
Romanowski played for the San Francisco 49ers (1988–1993), Philadelphia Broncos (1994–2001), and the Oakland Raiders (1996–2003). He was ranked as the fifth dirtiest player in professional team sports history by ESPN after his career.
During the 1988-2003 seasons, Romanowski played 243 consecutive games, an NFL record that stood before Chris Gardocki broke it in 2006, finishing his career with 265, (256 reg.). (also nine playoff games) during the season and nine playoff games. He has won four Super Bowl Championships and five Super Bowl appearances (Super Bowl XXIII, Super Bowl XXIV, Super Bowl XXIII, Super Bowl XXVI, Super Bowl XXIII, Super Bowl XXVI, and Super Bowl XXVII). He was the only one to lose in the last 10 years.
Romanowski had 1,105 tackles, 39.5 sacks, 18 forced fumbles, and 18 interceptions, totaling 98 yards and one touchdown during his 16-year tenure. Romanowski was a Pro Bowl pick twice before being drafted in 1996 and 1998, both during his time with the Denver Broncos.
Romanowski was involved in numerous altercations with both teammates and opponents. He was suspended from a game and later fined $4,500 for punching Larry Centers in the head while with the Arizona Cardinals.
During the 1997 season, he was involved in two more incidents while playing for the Broncos. In the first game, he was fined $20,000 after a helmet-to-helmet collision struck then-Carolina Panthers quarterback Kerry Collins, resulting in Collins breaking his jaw.
In the second incident, Romanowski spat in the face of 49ers wide receiver J. J. Stokes in a regular-season game played in December on a Monday night in reaction to Stokes' taunting.
He was fined more than $42,500 for three unlawful hits plus a punch launched against Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez, and the ball struck him in the crotch area two years ago while working with the Broncos.
During a scrimmage in 2003, Romanowski assaulted and injured one of his teammates, tight end Marcus Williams. After Romanowski smashed his eye socket with the punch, Williams was forced to leave.
Williams has sued for $3.4 million in fees, arguing that Romanowski had been suffering from "roid rage" when he attacked him. A jury has awarded Williams $340,000 for lost wages and medical expenses. Williams was quoted as saying that he and his lawyers "just wanted to show what was right and wrong about football." Williams' counsel expressed excitement with the finding.
Romanowski has been accused of racial profiling throughout his career and after retirement. Various media commentators have referred to his fines for incidents including punching Larry Centers in the head in 1995, spitting on San Francisco 49er receiver J.J. Stokes in 1997, and ripping Eddie George's helmet off in 2002.
In a tweet after Newton's team lost in Super Bowl 50 and Newton's team did not conduct a brief press conference, Romanowski called Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Cam Newton "boy." After being accused of being racial, he later apologised.
Post-NFL career
Romanowski co-authored Romo My Life on the Edge: Living Dreams and Slaying Dragons. In 2005, the book became a New York Times best-selling book. It chronicles his childhood, college career, and NFL career, as well as living with post-concussion signs, diet, and recovery techniques used during his NFL playing career.

He founded Nutrition53, a nutritional supplement firm, in 2006. In 2013, he was also a minority owner of NASCAR's Swan Racing; Nutrition53 sponsored the team in ten races that year.

Romanowski threw his name into the hunt for Mike Shanahan's replacement as the Denver Broncos' head coach in January 2009. Romanowski delivered a 30-page PowerPoint presentation to team owner Pat Bowlen but was not considered for the position. Josh McDaniels was eventually given the job.
However, Romanowski and his wife were charged with prescription drug fraud, but the charges were later dismissed. Records obtained by the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative's government, which later found to be the source of a designer steroid, reveal that he used the anabolic steroid "The Clear" and synthetic testosterone ointment "The Cream" from BALCO since 2003. Romanowski confessed to being a step ahead of NFL drug testing guidelines. Romanowski confessed to using steroids and human growth hormone from Victor Conte, the company's founder, in a 60 Minutes appearance on October 16, 2005.
