This certainly is not a big shocker, but I wonder if it will have a ripple effect similar to steroid confessions in baseball.

Romo tells '60 Minutes' he used steroids

Bill Romanowski used steroids and human growth hormone supplied by Victor Conte, the former NFL linebacker tells CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview to be broadcast Sunday.

Romanowski said he took illegal steroids for a two-year period starting in 2001 and got them from Conte, the former head of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which has been at the center of a steroids controversy in several sports.
I bet this little admission would have resulted in him having to pay out a lot more than this:

Last May, he agreed to pay former Raiders teammate Marcus Williams $415,000 in damages for a hit to the face during a practice drill in 2003. Williams' career ended after his eye socket was broken.
I still think it is crazy that he didn't have to pay more than that.

I suspect the motivation for this admission was:

He writes about his NFL career in a soon-to-be-released book, "Romo, My Life on the Edge."
The real question is, will this touch off a more serious look at steroid abuse in the NFL. I think it is pretty damn obvious they are being used heavily (there is no natural way for a 300 lb lineman to run a 4.6 40). I think the steroids play a huge role in why injuries are such a tremendous problem. Not only does it weaken people's joints, but it makes their opponents far stronger and faster than they would be, which means greater impact when blocking and tackling.
