{"product_id":"9780061152177","title":"Romo: My Life on the Edge: Living Dreams and Slaying Dragons","description":"Bill Romanowski has written the football book that needed to be  written and will take readers where they have not gone before.  Romanowksi is just the guy to promise -- and fulfill the promise -- that his  revelations will generate a huge amount of media discussion. \u003cp\u003e  Romanowski, with 16 seasons in pro football, has written an NFL \u003ci\u003eDr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde\u003c\/i\u003e -- a tale about a football player  who wants to maim his opponents but carry on a normal family life away  from the game. \"It will be a story of a guy most people think is crazy,  the guy who is out on the field being a warrior and the gladiator, the  guy who would do anything to be the best he could be,\" he said when beginning the book. Romo talks plenty of smack about his own Dr. Jekyll, the linebacker who spit  in the face of wide receiver J. J. Stokes; punched out his own Raiders  teammate Marcus Williams; broke the jaw of Giants quarterback Kerry  Collins; and was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars by the NFL.   He is the most hated and dirtiest player in the NFL, but that's not  where the juiciest elements come it. Romanowski has been a central  figure in the BALCO case that has attracted national attention to the  increasingly controversial subject of sports supplements, and he has promised to reaveal everything -- coming completely clean -- about BALCO, the designer  steroid THG, and the diet pill phentermine, which is now banned by the  NFL because of Romanowski, who was indicted (and acquitted) on four  felony counts of using the drug. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   But in addition to being controversial, Romo intends his book  to be educational, too, including lessons learned from some of the biggest  coaching names in the game. \u003ci\u003eRomo\u003c\/i\u003e   is a full-throttle inside look at football, no one who has  ever cared about the sport can afford to ignore it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011176841456,"sku":"9780061152177","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061152177_p0.jpg?v=1763770436","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061152177","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
