Bill Romanowski Quotations

whacking my head again and again while I shouted to him: 'You dumb - - - -. You're one of the dumbest guys I've ever played against. Duh!'

On one play, I remember hitting him out of bounds, grabbing his throat and squeezing it like it was Silly Putty, ... 'You cheap shot artist!' Brunell screamed at me. 'You're going down, Brunell! I looked at your friggin' face every day for a friggin' year! I've waited all year for this!'

I don't know Kordell Stewart as a person. He's probably a pretty good guy. But it didn't matter. I was playing against him. That's what mattered.

For two straight weeks, all we talked about was how good the Packers' offense was, how tough their defense was, how outstanding their coaching was. Every clich in the book, we used. Every time I uttered another compliment about the Packers to the press, I wanted to puke.

Here's what it comes down to. As a football player you're trained to lie to yourself. You're trained to say, no matter how you feel, 'I'm fine. I'm the iron man.' There have been a few times I've said that to myself. I felt one of these in the Super Bowl, but I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. I just fought through it.

was shocked not by what I saw, but by what I heard. I closed my eyes and listened - and you know what I heard? I heard the biggest difference in the game. I heard the hitting on our side compared to theirs. Our defense crushed their offense.

Bill's been very poised, and he's handled the year well. When he has needed to be inspirational he has been. When he's needed to be tough, he has been. It's one of those things where he's done all the right things. He's made all the right moves. I've got a lot of confidence in this guy.

You're the biggest idiot that ever came out of Boston College. I'm insulted that we could have gone to the same school.

This is a deep reflection of an overachiever that worked harder than anybody on the planet to live his dream,

I took it (human growth hormone) for a brief period and I didn't receive any great benefits from it. I compromised my morality to play another two years in the NFL.

I turned to coach (Greg) Robinson and said, 'I only hope Brett Favre doesn't play as good as Bubby did this week,' ... 'If he does, we're in trouble.'

I had a little boy who looks up to his dad and he said, 'Dad, did you do drugs?

If you looked at the way they played, they were soft. We were anything but.

I hold myself accountable. It was a classless move by me.

Hopefully for his sake, for his family, he's able to get his life cleaned up, whatever there is. I don't know his problem. I don't know his issues. I just know there's got to be a major problem for that to happen the day before the Super Bowl.

I'd run through a brick wall for this guy, simple as that,

I could never control myself enough that I could hook somebody and intentionally try to hurt somebody, ... I was running for my life to make that play. That's truly what happened. I was just trying to do my job.
