Definitely a different era of football back during the 70's & 80's. |

Other players might have used it some, but that guy abused it. It's rediculous that an award was named after him. Let's see him catch before dunking his hands in that crap. What a joke. |

Re: Vontze Burfict obviously targeting the head
Lester Hayes would lather his hands in stick 'em glue.
If social media existed back in the late 70s, people would've been freaking the **** out about this and ranting non-stop on twitter after a loss to the Raiders. BTW, they are the team that should've went back to L.A. alongside the Rams. The Chargers will never build a fan base there. There are more Chargers fans on the internet who simply hype up that team for fun. The Raiders won SBs while they were there and would still fill up a stadium. |

I just can't believe how long it took the NFL to outlaw that. People are worried about steroids as it pertains to the integrity of the game. But nothing says "I suck at this game too much on my own" quite like shoving your hands in a jar of glue to catch the ball. |
