Jerry Rice Admits to Using Stickum On His Gloves
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...se-of-stickum/
In an interview with Hall of Famer Jerry Rice said, “I’ve played in cold weather, I know how hard the football is and you can grip the leather [if deflated] just a little bit better.” When it comes to playing football in any conditions, the challenge becomes not only throwing it but catching it. And in the ESPN segment narrated by Jim Trotter, Rice nonchalantly made a stunning (in hindsight) confession: Rice put stickum on his gloves. “I know this might be a little illegal, guys, but you put a little spray, a little stickum on them, to make sure that texture is a little sticky,” Rice said, laughing. It wasn’t a little illegal, it was a lot illegal. As explained in the ESPN feature, gloves were introduced to football after the NFL decided to outlaw the stuff that guys like Fred Biletnikoff and Lester Hayes (pictured) would spread copiously on their hands, and elsewhere. Rice admitted in the feature that he enhanced the surface of gloves approved for use in the NFL with a substance that would make it easier to catch the ball. |

I agree both stickums and deflating are cheating. What I took away from the OP is along with being a cheater Rice is also a ****ing hypocrite.

I agree completely. The cheating thing has just become a joke to me. Obviously, the NFL doesn't really care or they would stop it. You know the old saying, "If you ain't cheating you ain't trying." |

I agree with this... but then why come out with the whole deflate gate if they don't care. If everyone is doing it why do they only catch the patriots? You'd think they'd pick on some team like the Jaguars or something.

Long time lurker...maybe my second post. Anyways, have you all missed the latest on the Pats thing? I see a few in here waiting for the Wells Report. Not thread jacking but here's a link stating ONE ball was 2 lbs under. The others were only slightly under the minimum of 12.5psi.
Edit: Oh yeah, can't link yet. Anyways, there's always Google. |
