Jerry Rice admits to using stick em

Wow, smoke some herb with your RB and calm the fuck down. You make yourself an easy target and if you can't figure out that HD is poking the bear on purpose bc he knows the classic reaction he's going to get from you, then Idk what to tell you....

Sheesh. HD, game recognize game. Well played.

Quit sucking Hammer's dick

 

[NEhomer]

Hammer didn't you start a thread about your own drinking problem, then you call out someone that is still sober from drinking? That's really pathetic...and shows your true colors.


13 months > 2 weeks


LOL who am I kidding...you're not even 2 weeks sober. You can't even do that...

Hey good going man. I've never had problems with drinking but for the past 12 years or so, I don't drink in the month of February. Just kind of a yearly check thing that a fellow I work with does so it's become a bit of a pact. Well this was week one and I sure missed that Friday afternoon cold one or two or six but fortunately, the cravings are never physical. Now cigs, that's another story. Went through a couple of bouts to finally be done for good.

...and yeah, Hammer's really shitty with people and does crap others would get banned for but the good side is that we have him to point out all the hypocrisy in the world. Hang tough man, glad to hear you're on a good path. HOW 'BOUT THEM PATRIOTS?!!!

As for the thread, if stick-em was used after it was banned, it would surely have a greater benefit than a Lb of air pressure.

greater benefit than a Lb of air pressure.

Especially since pressure changes have both advantages and drawbacks (hence Rodgers admitting to cheating in the opposite direction that Brady has been accused of it).

 

[RazorsEdge]

Sad day to be a 49er fan. *Rice deserves an asterisk by his name too.

Unfortunately that's true. These guys gotta be careful when they mouth off nowadays.

 

[TBBishop]

Rice was trying to get an edge just like everyone else tries to get an edge. It's human nature. If you ain't cheatin"......

 

[DenBronc]

Jerry Rice, owner of just about every career record at WR and played with a bunch of different QB's is now a "system receiver". What a joke. Moss was a one trick pony and when that trick wore out he was useless. It was a HOF worthy trick but that's all he had in his bag. Rice blew out his knee in his prime and was still able to put up 1200 yards receiving at 40.

Because he played in a dink and dunk offense most of his career. In 2004, when the Raiders went to a downfield offense under Norv Turner, he couldn't hack it, and ran off to Seattle.

 

[GoreRush]

Why would he 'return to the scene of the crime' by tarnishing the legacy of the 49ers. Does he mean that all 49 receivers did it or all receivers in the league?

Is he counting on the romance of the 70's and 80's era to discount this level of cheating?

Since Rice is being so honest, he should just admit he's an A hole and give up telling people what he thinks.

The NFL should investigate Odell Beckham's gloves.

I agree, Jerry Rice is way overrated.

Saw this posted somewhere:

The official rule is on page 34 of the NFL Rule Book, and reads that prohibited substances include: "Adhesive, Slippery Substances -- (i) Adhesive or slippery substances on the body, equipment, or uniform of any player; provided, however, that players may wear gloves with a tackified surface if such tacky substance does not adhere to the football or otherwise cause handling problems for players."

Yeah, the only reason they outlawed stickem was because it got all over the ball. Personally, I think they should outlaw the gloves, but that might decrease offense and the number of spectacular catches and we can't have that. :rollseyes:

 

[Oldschool739]

Lot's of players/ teams have cheated or, tried to gain an advantage in some way or another.

When they get caught they're usually punished for said actions.

It wasn't illegal to use it back then, just about everyone used it til it was banned....
These guys are grabbing at straws now, but you can't talk your way out of getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar....
The league ain't gonna do nothing anyway, so it's all for naught......

Rice admitted to using it after it was banned. This is historical. Others were using it too. Not everybody liked it. When it got on the football, it was hard to throw.....

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Calm down? We won the SB, I'm happy. Hammer is just being an asshole because he's still so upset about the Pats winning.

Also, "poking the bear on purpose"...aka as trolling people on his own site. You just admitted to me Hammer is trolling the shit out of Pats fans on purpose. It's honestly just embarrassing that he's doing this. He needs to get over the fact we won. He's been crying for a week straight.

Of course he is! He knows that if he trolls the fuck out of teams, he will arouse traffic on his site. He has done that with plenty a fan base. And it works. Because you really shouldn't be giving a fuck what Hammer says given the fact that you should still be hammered from the Pats Parade and two gone to be "aiming for the middle one" with your posts.

Just stop.

1. You think the fact that he was 42 at the time had something to do with him finally hanging them up?
2. Before Sapp took him out he wasn't a "dink and dunk" receiver. He ran every route in the book. After the knee injury which killed his speed the yards per reception dropped off. Before that he was also one of the best deep threats in the league. But people who weren't even watching football in the 80's wouldn't know that. If it weren't for that knee injury he'd probably have 210+ receiving TD's right now. But since he was so good at his trade he was still able to make pro bowls after he adjusted to being more of the reception type receiver.

You don't "dink and dunk" your way to the ridiculous numbers he put up.

 

[PatsFan2003]

If this keeps going any player of any worth is going to look like a complete idiot.

 

[NinerSickness]

Someone in the NFL media seriously needs to try to get some specifics about what Jerry meant.

It's the time between the Super Bowl and the combine. There's nothing else going on! It's called JOURNALISM! Is nobody talking about this in the NFL media because they're just circling the wagons again? Someone needs to ask him exactly what product he put on his gloves. Some people speculate that "stickum" is just what they say for any kind of spray including the legal kind they use for tape. Others say that's bogus. Why is nobody asking that question? If he won't comment on it, that's news! It would probably mean he has something to hide. The lack of vetting of this issue should be embarrassing to the NFL media IMO. Not that they have a reputation as real journalists anyway...

 

[dredinis21]

People who say that Rice took a lot of tough hits are liars. The 49ers usually faced zone coverages with guys 7-10 yards off the ball, and Rice ran a lot of slant patterns. He didn't run a whole lot of real routes.

I was watching a 49er-Falcon game from 1990 where Rice caught one of his quintessential passes. They had twin WR's lined up to the left, with Rice on the inside, and both DB's playing off 5-10 yards. The one DB did bump Rice for a brief moment, then released him, and he ran wide open while nobody came over and covered him. Montana hit him for a 24-yard TD pass.

Jerry was a good WR, but he was a product of that system to a large degree. I think that someone like Paul Warfield or Don Hutson should be considered the best ever, not Jerry. Megatron is also a possibility. I would have Moss as GOAT, but he didn't really have too much of a work ethic.

Thank you for the laugh...I needed this shitty post today.

Did it ever occur to you that Rice was GREAT at getting releases off of bump and run coverage, thus allowing him to be amongst the top in the league in YAC year after year? Could that POSSIBLY be why a team like the Falcons (with shitty CBs) would rather play off zone and tackle what's in front of them as opposed to watching Rice's towel swaying in the wind as he takes it to the house after a bad jam at the line?

Rice ran every route, was smart about avoiding the big hit often, had great hands (apparently aided according to Rice himself), and showed the ability to stay healthy. He earned everything he got and his maniacal workout regimen is LEGENDARY in SF.

You don't think Rice is the GOAT? That's fine. You think Rice is a system WR? You are an idiot who didn't actually watch him play.
