Former Dolphins Lineback Channing Crowder: "Every game I peed myself"
The 2013 season has been a disaster for the Miami Dolphins organization after the locker room culture of disrespect and harassment was revealed when Jonathan Martin finally said "enough is enough" to Richie Incognito.
But as if the stories surrounding the Dolphins couldn't have gotten any more unusual, former NFL player Channing Crowder made quite the revelation when he spoke on NFL Films Presents.
Crowder, a 29-year-old retired player who played six seasons with the Dolphins, made an appearance on NFL Films Presents: Hidden Talents. During the segment, the former football star opened up about a pattern he noticed during every game he played.
"I never went to the bathroom in the toilet," he said. "Every game I peed myself. Six years straight I peed down my leg, I would just be in the huddle and just... pee. Nobody in the stands would know unless you look down like, 'that's not water man.' My teammates didn't enjoy it as much as I did."
Crowder has not played in the league since 2010 and he tried unsuccessfully to reignite his career. He tried to make a comeback, and was possibly close to striking a deal with the Atlanta Falcons, but nothing ended up happening. He had said to NBC in 2010 that he would never return to the Dolphins because he did not get along with the team's general manager, Jeff Ireland.
"I'm not very confident in him," Crowder said in 2012. "He doesn't know what he's doing in my opinion. He's real disrespectful. He doesn't know how to deal with people."
