When Fred Biletnikoff tried a comeback with the Montreal Alouettes in 1980, he tried using stickum, and the Canadian Football League quickly issued an edict that this would not be allowed, at a time when the NFL did still allow it. Rule 1 Section 10 Article 5: Illegal Substance was officially added to the CFL rule book in 1981.

Remember when OBJ the NY Giants WRs went on the trip to Miami during playoff week, then went to Green Bay & lost? To this day I believe they had problems catching the ball because the tackified gloves don’t work in freezing temps. I remember the days of stickum being used through the 1980 season. It made footballs nasty & hilarious plays where the footballs stuck to players hands at times.

Honestly kinda crazy that this story isn’t heard of more especially w how big spidertack and pine tar was in mlb

@marmcd2003 19 күн бұрын

Because Stick-em was legal in '77, pine tar wasn't.

Stick "em" was used by Lester Hayes chronically. I think he even ate the stuff.

If using stickum wasn't a rule violation, yet...The it wasn't really cheating.

Fred said it was almost impossible to get the stuff off the helmet.

How is Stuckum cheating? It was completely legal. It was only when Lester Hayes got ridiculous with it when the NFL banned it.

If it’s so easy to catch a pass these days, how can anyone explain the kansas city chiefs??

Research MAGNETS in NFL Player's gloves! They react to magnets (pre-placed) in footballs. Lots of speculation whether or not this is the NFL allowing it to "fix" certain games... Or teams doing it themselves somehow. There are videos on it

Interesting…actually have never heard of that but might have to make a video on it🤔

If you think jerry rice wasn’t that good of a receiver, that’s what you wrote, you have to be totally insane. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

@@sludge8506 OK, I'm insane in the membrane. But he would have gotten " CREAMED " ! Back in the 70's. The Mel Blount rule changed how wide receivers weren't touched after the first 5 yards. Letter Hays would Have knocked Jerry's Head off. FACT. But let's say he played now. Do you think he could be as dominant ? Or more So ? And if think he could, that just answers my speculations. That Mr. Rice wasn't all that. Good day Citizens.
