Mark Frederick Schlereth (born January 25, 1966) is a former American football player and current television and radio sportscaster.

Schlereth played guard in the NFL for 12 seasons (1989-2000) with the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos.

He is now a football analyst for Fox Sports, appearing on FS1 and other shows.

Sedano & Stink was also hosted by Jorge Sedano from 7 to 10 p.m. Since leaving the program in late March 2015 to pursue other television opportunities, ET on ESPN Radio continued to broadcast. He's also started acting, appearing on Guiding Light and 2012's Red Dawn remake.

Early life and college

Schlereth was born and grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, but he did not learn to read until he was seven years old, and was plagued by dyslexia as a child. In 1984, he graduated from Robert Service High School. Schlereth did not attract much attention as a college football prospect as a student; the only two current FBS schools that offered him a scholarship were Idaho (I-AA at the time) and Hawaii; Dennis Erickson, head coach Dennis Erickson, accepted a scholarship from the University of Idaho. Following the 1985 season, Erickson departed, and Schlereth took over left guard on the Vandals' offensive line for new head coach Keith Gilbertson, blocking quarterbacks Scott Linehan and John Friesz. In 1988, the Vandals made it to the national semifinals, and they were second-team all-Big Sky for the second time.

In 2008, Schlereth was inducted into the University of Idaho's Vandal Athletic Hall of Fame.

Personal life

Schlereth is a Christian. Schlereth is married to Lisa Schlereth. They have three children: Alexandria, Avi, and Daniel. Alexandria was an actress on the MyNetwork TV series Desire in 2006. Avi was a contestant on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's reality dating program Catching Kelce, but he was not chosen. She is still searching for a modeling career in California. Avie, 20, caused a stir in 2021 by posting multiple pictures of herself partially nude on the internet. Daniel was a pitcher in Major League Baseball, having played in 94 games in a relief capacity. Schlereth was given the nickname "Stink" because of his habit of releasing his bladder on the sidelines during games.

Professional career

The Washington Redskins selected Schlereth in the tenth round (#263 overall) of the 1989 NFL Draft. He appeared in 12 NFL seasons, six with the Denver Broncos (1995–2000). He was a member of three Super Bowl championship franchises (one with the Redskins and two with the Broncos) and was voted to the Pro Bowl for his 1991 and 1998 seasons. On January 25, 1998 Schlereth celebrated his 32nd birthday on the same day he helped the Broncos win Super Bowl XXII, a 31–24 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Schlereth underwent 29 surgeries before deciding to end his playing career. Twenty of those surgeries were performed on his knees (15 left, five right). "He has a high pain threshold" after his left knee surgery on July 24, 2000, according to Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan. It was the worst knee they've ever seen, according to the doctors. During the 2000 season, Schlereth would have two more surgeries on his left knee, his last in the NFL. On Athlete 360, Schlereth's former Redskins teammate, Dr. Mark Adickes', medical television show, his injuries are chronicled.

Schlereth announced his resignation on April 18, 2001. "I came out here today to tell that I had just signed a six-year, $42 million deal to extend my Denver Broncos career." The truth of the situation is that after going through my 15th knee surgery in November last year, it was painfully clear that I did not sign a six-year deal for $42 worth of Tupperware. I began to realize in the first three months of a free agency that there isn't a lot of demand for a 6 ft 3 [1.91 m] 245-pound [111 kg] guard, 35 years old and beat to a pulp." He started working with ESPN right away.

Television/radio career

Schlereth co-infante, a former Broncos lineman, appeared on Denver AM radio 760 The Zone after retirement. The show was often described as the "Stink and Doc" exhibition. Schlereth worked as a part-time analyst with ESPN for a time, commuting from Denver to Connecticut, before moving to ESPN in 2004. He served as an analyst on NFL Live (2004–2017) and SportsCenter.

Schlereth has been a color commentator for NFL games on Fox NFL, first being paired with Dick Stockton on the #6 team for four seasons before being paired with former ESPN colleagues Adam Amin and Lindsay Czarniak on the #3 team. On ten4.3 The Fan, he co-hosts a radio show in Denver and appears as an expert on FS1 television broadcasting. Mike Golic, a frequent visitor and fill-in host for Mike and Mike in the Morning, was a regular guest and fill-in host for Mike and Mike. Jim Rome has also filled in for Jim Rome on Jim Rome's Burning.

Schlereth revealed on the Morning show that he was considering a career in acting, mainly soap operas under the name Roc Hoover. Schlereth originally selected the word Rock Hoover, but after cybersquatters took several domain names relating to the name, he renamed the k from Rock and became Roc Hoover. On May 4, 2007, he revealed that he was cast as Detective Roc Hoover, a recurring role on Guiding Light's soap opera.

Schlereth appeared on Athlete 360, a sports medicine television show, and was a celebrity on the show Athlete 360.

Schlereth was critical of Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler after the 2010–11 NFC Championship Game, tweeting, "You'd have to drag me out on a stretcher to leave a championship game."

American Guns appeared on the Discovery Channel in 2012. He worked with the Gunsmoke gun store to find a safe weapon for his son's hunting trip.

Schlereth has appeared in a number of episodes of HBO's Ballers since 2015.
