Football Jerry Rice Admits to Using Stickum On His Gloves

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.

Video here.

But of course Rice (and other Niners) are trying to make sure the Patriots dynasty is viewed as tainted. Stunning hypocrisy.

I've mentioned this before but people in San Fran think Rice is a scumbag. He cheated on his wife constantly, often visited "Massage Parlors" (i.e., prostitutes) and was a frequent cocaine user. Now, we can add Cheater to the list.

The guy is scum. And if anyone's record should be tainted, it should be his.

Rocket queen,Tiney lil dancer, his legs burned out long before his stickum hands ever did.

In his rookie year, Jerry dropped passes worse than any Chiefs receiver we've ever seen.

Then he stopped.

Iiiiiiinteresting....

I think they are at least equal offenses.

Which there is actually absolutely no evidence the Patriots DID, at least not YET. Just for the record...

Of course, we'll find out when Wells issues his report.

If it's all about grip and holding the ball, then why not? Rice technically circumvented the "integrity of the game". Of course so did a ton of others.

Just proves how stupid this inflation thing is...

So he is a scum bag cheater, which has nothing to do with the Cheatriots.

One does not make the other more or less important.

So they are both cheaters, nothing to see here move along.
