Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Mark Schlereth

Grew up in Anchorage, AK and became known as“Stink” because of a story he told as a Rookie with the Washington Redskins which was supplanted after urinating in his uniform on the bench

Only 2 schools to offer him a scholarship was the University of Idaho and the University of HawaiiWas almost forced to retire from football while playing at Idaho because of multiple injuries and surgeries

10th Round selection by the Washington Redskins in 1989Former teammate at Idaho, Marvin Washington, was an integral part of his career in the NFL after Marvin would have Mark attend workouts for scouts with him

Alex Gibbs at Denver convinced the Broncos to sign Mark even though he couldn’t pass the medical exam

Would then win 2 Super Bowls with Denver and earn a Pro Bowl appearance in 1998Mark also convinced Denver to sign Marvin Washington and the two would win a Super Bowl together

Has always wanted to broadcast NFL games and so he decided to leave ESPN for Fox Sports with the opportunity to call NFL gamesMore nervous to watch his son Daniel play baseball in the Majors than any time playing in his NFL career

Words of Wisdom from Mark Schlereth:“My big thing as a parent and grandparent is to be involved, it’s quantity time, not quality time.”
