The Most Humiliating ‘Stinky Situations’ In Professional Sports

Mark “The Stink” Schlereth

Mark Schlereth was playing for the Broncos when he told his fellow athletes about the “stinkhead” fish he loved to eat. He also happened to regularly urinate himself during live NFL broadcasts. His teammates quickly put those two facts together and named him “The Stink” because of his potty habits. “Pretty much every game I did [pee himself]. I was already drenched in sweat so it was no real difference to me. So later the nickname got shortened to just ‘Stink.’ Hey, I was miserable anyhow out on the field, I wasn’t going to hold it in and become even more miserable.” It didn’t destroy his future job prospects, after leaving the NFL he became an ESPN analyst.
