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.

Fred Bilitnikoff gave new meaning to the term, "Grabbing A Handful"

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
-
Deflategate doesn’t even come close to this
-
Stick "em" was used by Lester Hayes chronically. I think he even ate the stuff.
-
Def how OBJ had that insane catch these gloves are starting to get crazy
-
It doesn’t surprise me that the Raiders of all teams would cheat with adhesives 😂
-
How is Stuckum cheating? It was completely legal. It was only when Lester Hayes got ridiculous with it when the NFL banned it.
-
I remember stickem because they used it on fly paper back in the day.
-
Patriots are like hold my beer
-
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
-
Nice video
-
All hail Lester Hayes
-
You realize the Raiders couldn't put Stick 'em on a ball the other team was kicking, right?
-
Nobody cheated more than the Patsies and the Faiders.
-
What are they gonna do, put you in football jail??
-
I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT JERRY RICE WASN'T THAT GOOD OF A Receiver !! And Band gloves too ! From football and Baseball batters. It's pathetic that this happens !
