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.
Deflategate doesn’t even come close to this
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.
Fred Bilitnikoff gave new meaning to the term, "Grabbing A Handful"
Nobody cheated more than the Patsies and the Faiders.
Honestly kinda crazy that this story isn’t heard of more especially w how big spidertack and pine tar was in mlb

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.

Chronic stickem use is crazy
Def how OBJ had that insane catch these gloves are starting to get crazy
What are they gonna do, put you in football jail??
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
