I’m no genius or anything remotely close to it, but if I am going to admit to breaking to rules I am not going to stand up and call other people cheaters as well.
Jerry Rice is hands down the best receiver to ever lace up a pair of cleats, but in a recent interview he admitted to using the banned substance called stickum during his playing days.
Rice appeared in a video published Jan. 17 on ESPN about “The Evolution of Gloves” in football. In one clip shown in the video, Rice says he used stickum.
“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 with a laugh about how he used the substance when playing.
Stickum was banned by the NFL in 1981.
Not too long after that Rice sent a tweet out calling out the New England Patriots about deflating footballs during the AFC title game.
11 of 12 balls under-inflated can anyone spell cheating!!! #Just Saying

C’Mon Jerry. You would have been better off keeping your comments to yourself after saying you used stickum back in the day. Very hypocritical on Rice’s part.
