Steroid enthusiast Bill Romanowski wants to be the strength and conditioning coach of the Washington Redskins, according to Pro Football Talk. No, that's not a joke. The man who has admitted using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs wants to run the conditioning program for our beloved Burgundy & Gold.

The NFL has largely avoided the steroids issue that has plagued baseball, but this hiring could put it front in center.  We don't doubt Romanowski knows conditioning -- he owns his own nutrition company -- but this like if the Cardinals hired Mark McGwire to run the team's weight room.

It's fair to wonder if a player that believed in the power of pharmaceuticals as a player, often illegally, would do the same as a coach.

Indeed. I find it hard to believe that the NFL would not take a position about any team hiring Romanowski for this position, for the public relations angle if nothing else. I don't know if this is BS from PFT or if it is just Romanowski spreading rumors to help himself or if there is truth to it. There better not be. The NFL should avoid Romanowski like the plague.

And, really -- haven't there been enough jokes at the expense of our poor Redskins?
