Anyone else see the feature on Bill Romanowski tonight (Sunday) on 60 Minutes? It was quite interesting.
When the Flames signed Marchment I kind of figured they had just picked up the Bill Romanowski of the NHL. I hope not, because this guy is certifiable.

“I felt I could take myself to a place where other guys weren’t willing to go because come Sunday after a game, I already started hating the next opponent. I started hating the guy I was going to go against,” says Romanowski. “I hated the coaches. I hated their fans. I hated their family. You name it. And by the time I got onto that field come Sunday, watch out because there was rage.”
He never missed a game in 16 seasons. I don't follow the NFL or baseball too much, but for a guy to be a linebacker in the NFL for 16 years and not miss a game, that's on par with Cal Ripken.
He's paying for it though. The concussions that he hid have taken a real toll. I don't think the results are in on the consequences of all the crap he's ingested over the years to make himself such a lunatic.
Also, I think he borrowed Gary Busey's dentures for the interview.
