Health Nut

Bill Romanowski doesn't seem like a Slim Goodbody type of guy. But like Slim, Romo knows a thing or two about health--physical, not mental, health. Known for spitting in J.J. Stokes's face, ending teammate Marcus Williams's career by breaking his eyesocket, and issuing on-field cheap shots, Romanowski is no knucklehead when it comes to health. The man started 243 consecutive NFL games at linebacker. How did he do it? Hyperbaric chambers, employing 10 specialists at a cost of $250,000, intravenous therapy, and nighttime magnesium were among the unusual weapons in his arsenal. ESPN's John Clayton gives the 411 in a fascinating article on this real health nut.

Romonowski trained hard. Real hard. But does anyone think he trained as hard as, say, Tony Siragusa or Icky Woods or Sebastian Janakowski or Barrett Robbins. Those athletes trained hard too.

I recall a moment in Bravo Company's Marine Corps Ball history where there was an eye socket incident as well. Sad times they were.

There were also repeated instances and accusations of "meat gazing".
