Quote:This is no offense to you or anyone else that doesn't understand the concept of using stick-um. I played high school and 1 year of junior college football and stick-um is not an issue. The guys that wore gloves could catch the ball in all kinds of crazy ways. The ball would just stick to the glove. So if Jerry Rice sprayed his hands with a can of stick-um then essentially he was on even par with wearing gloves.


That catch OBJ made would not have happen if he didn't have on gloves.


So what am I trying to say? Even if Rice wore stick-um, his numbers are still good in my eyes. No asterisks needed. Every WR in the NFL wears stick-um because it comes pre made onto the gloves.

 

i played on the defensive side of the ball but i always wore gloves regardless because interceptions were 10x more likely with how sticky those gloves are. I can remember more than one occasion that the ball sticking to my glove was the only reason i made the catch. Anyone knocking Rice for using stickem has not spent a lot of time on the field.
