Bill Romanowski was one of the most violent linebackers to ever play in the NFL. He was such a hot head he would regularly get into fights with his own teammates. Playing for the Oakland Raiders in 2003, Romanowski reportedly had enough of teammate Marcus Williams holding him during practice. To teach Williams a lesson, Romanowski ripped Williams’ helmet off and punched him in the face. Williams never played again and sued Romanowski for a broken eye socket, double vision, a concussion, memory loss, and depression. Romanowski was ordered to pay Williams $300,000 when the case settled in 2005.

If you think this is bad, wait until you see what Michael Irvin did to a teammate with a pair of scissors.
