Imagine our old friend Mark Schlereth cruising through the aisles of the local pharmacy looking to grab a new stick of deodorant.  You'd have to assume that a man's man like him needs some powerful under arm protection - after all, he's under the hot lights of the studio all day and he's not like these modern day nancies who takes a razor to his pit hair. 

This is, after all, a guy that was nicknamed "Stink" his entire career.  

So what does he go for?  Some of the industrial strength anti-perspirant that basically puts a vacuum seal on your pits?  Maybe he tries out the brands made by Adidas or one of the other sporting goods companies that have entered the market?  This is not a light decision, people.  When he's on the mock field showing people the intricacies of cut blocking during NFL Live the last thing anyone wants to see is pit stains. 

And then suddenly, a bright light emerges from the shelves.  Something is drawing him towards it as if it was made specifically for his Stink. 

Somehow a company has managed to harness the most elusive quality in sports, one that ensures domination in every athletic endeavor and squeeze it into a stick of deodorant.  It's what successful teams ooze and crappy teams desperately want.  We're talking of course of Swagger.

That's not a photoshop.  Old Spice Red Zone  has pushed their football-branded product line to another level by engaging in painstaking scientific experimentation to discover the exact scent of Swagger and releasing it to the public (less than a year after releasing Tony Stewart body wash, no less).  Your pits will never be so intimidating. 

Naturally, if they've got a deodorant scent called Swagger, it's really only a matter of time before they take the next logical steps.  Rather than waiting, we'll just go ahead and do it for them...

I've always thought my pit hair was scrappy.

Everyone knows my old spice commercials are the best. Fuck Schlereth, I've got all the swagger I'll ever need...On my balls

Squash this, it will be a cold day in hell when I give up my "Intangibles" clear solid deodorant.

With this deodorant anchoring my line of defense against pit stains i will certainly be the Most odor protected analyst at the entire Entertainment Sports Network. And if you disagree with me on that then you have another thing coming! This deodorant is true deodorant. This is a deodorant's deodorant. Mark Schlereth

There was supposed to be more to my last message, but for some reason it cut off. Here's what was missing....Josh and Pat, don't say I never gave ya anything from the rumor mill...now go fetch, like that dog in the Cardinals uniform!

NFL Rumor Mill...Y'all read it HERE first: Tomorrow, NFL announces that, starting with the 2010 season, they'll go to 18 Regular-Season games, with only 2 Pre-Season games. Josh

How about the Old Spice "It's two things" commercial with the centaur? Maybe it's me but that s--- is really twisted. They should have used Schlereth as the Horse's a--. He fits the part perfect.

Bringing Schlereth back into the fold right before football season is akin to flowers blooming as the rite of spring.

Does anyone know if there's a bathroom around? I don't want to pee my pants again...F'n amazing!

The city of Denver, and state of Colorado, have smelled much better since Schlereth left.Also, it should be noted that he grew up in Anchorage. Not much sweating done there, so when he finally got down to the Lower 48, and mid-90 temps, you can only envision the stink of sweat that had been building up after all those years of frozenness!

Nice call on the Schlereth jersey. Chances are, if you thought of it...some meathead has as well. The only difference is, you didn't spend $150 on a personalized jersey after hatching your brilliant idea.

If you think this deodorant doesn't keep you fresh, you are sorely mistaken!

Is Wikipedia correct? He wore # 69? Now that's a "Fan of the week" jersey if I ever saw one - "Stinkhead 69". I can't stand Schlereth. He's a complete jack ass.

Squires often wondered if he was the only White Sox player who felt that it was weird that the team wore blue coveralls as uniform.
