Former NFL linebacker Bill Romanowski has filed for bankruptcy after he was sued by the Department of Justice for $15.5 million in unpaid federal taxes.
Romanowski and his wife Julie are defendants in a civil case brought by the federal government, which alleges that the Romanowskis used their supplement company Nutrition53 to get around paying taxes, a bill that has now topped $15.5 million, according to USA Today.
The Department of Justice says the Romanowskis improperly used Nutrition53 accounts to pay for their personal rent, groceries, veterinarian bills and “over 170 visits to nail salons, hair salons and day spas.”
Nutrition53 filed for bankruptcy last year.
The 58-year-old Romanowski played for the 49ers, Eagles, Broncos and Raiders during a 16-year NFL career. He won four Super Bowl rings and was selected to two Pro Bowls. He was also repeatedly fined for dirty play, and sued by teammate Marcus Williams for an injury during a fight on the practice field. After retiring, Romanowski admitted he had used steroids during his playing career. [Reply]
It takes a lot for me side with government over an individual when it comes to taxes, but Romanowski clears that bar easily. Garbage human being. [Reply]
What a dick. I hope he is road panhandling near my local shopping center. I will roll down the window of my truck and hock a loogie in his coin bucket [Reply]
Very few opponents over the years have I had true disdain for. Most of it is just kinda good natured shit talk, like how we do with that one Bengals guy (faulk something or other) or the Raiders fans that post here. I'd give them shit, but I don't want them to have bad lives or whatever. I say that to say this.....
Bill Romanowski is a bad person. I dislike him and hope he goes to jail. [Reply]

With AIDS! The thought of him passed out in an alley while his remaining T-cells whither away puts a big smile on my face. I can’t help but giggle at the thought. [Reply]
