Doesn’t sound likely since the coach just declared that the allegations are false which wouldn’t make much sense considering the refs apparently confiscated the evidence in question.

But if it is then the fine and draft picks wouldn’t be enough punishment. They should have to forfeit an entire draft and pay a massive fine in addition to having those involved permanently banned from the game if they don’t come clean about it.

the chargers should have all games won change to loses they cheated on monday night but how many other games did they use stickum too…..
fines and sanctions should beplaced opon the chargers if you gotta cheat to try win somethings wrong………….. and they couldnt win anyway with use of the band substance real shame … !!!!

————————————————–

If the allegations are true the league should come down hard on the Chargers.

On another subject, I see the reputation of public schools in Detroit is well deserved.

This is a pure reflection of the owner.

Deano and company are actually the kind of owner you want; just cutting checks and staying out of the way. BUT … you do expect them to make a change when what they have is not working. AJ is the worst and both AJ and Norv are just riding checks to the end.

To let players fall to this level ( if true ) is a pure shame and it is on the coaches watch.

What is interesting is talk of sanctions vr suspensions. Lets see what happens.

I should have powder blue colored towels with the word “Stickum” printed across and market them to the Choker fans to wave during their games.

Belicheat has been busy this week, first he got involved in injury reporting coming from the Bills and Redskins, and now he’s forcing the Chargers to use stickum. It’s very sad to see the pristine character of the league constantly corrupted by Belicheat…why can’t he just stop forcing everyone else to do these things?

I wonder how their PR guy is gonna spin this one. The Bolts have a lot of making up to do right now. This is a big hole for a team whose 3-3 tied for first and facing a weak schedule. Ive been proud to be a Charger fan for 30 + years but my faith is being tested more than ever these last two seasons. Here comes stickygate.

Man, Dropmichael Finley could use some of that stuff. Maybe they could dip him in a vat of it before each game.

are they sure it was stickum? Maybe it was some sort of resin that someone put on the towel? Sort of like the whole A-rod putting his number on a ball to give to a girl, maybe Rivers put his “resin” on a towel to give to the official to “grease” the wheels?

As one of their former greats LdT once said of my team, their philosophy must be if you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying. Must have gotten it from their head coach, eh LaDainian? LOL

What a shame, I wonder had the chargers won, would the league come down really hard on them. What’s even more pathetic, they couldn’t even get the win. They need to take that bolt off their helmets because they’re definitely not lighting it up.

The refs didn’t notice the sticky balls because the ball always went straight from Rivers’ hand to a defensive back, thereby bypassing the receivers’ sticky hands. Mystery solved.

So what’s this other “lingering” cheating scandal? I hope you’re not referring to “bounty-gate”……the “scandal” that’s completely fallen apart under scrutiny and was never an issue of competitive advantage anyway.

While Freddie used it to catch the ball, Lester’s main reason to use stickum was to stick to the receivers. According to Madden’s book, the rules for defense used to be you could leave your hands on a receiver but you could not re-touch them. So Lester used it more on his arms than hands. That way if he made contact with a receiver’s jersey it never looked as if he let go as the jersery would be stuck to his arm, thus less chance of a penalty.

The replacement Refs, just called the Commish’s office demanding to know what stickum is.

Maybe that’s why they didn’t STICK around.

Gentlemen, the league banned stick um years ago but it is not cheating. Today instead of the stick um the players where specially designed gloves that help them catch the ball. It’s not messy like the stick um was. Let’s see the receivers catch the ball without those gloves on. Some receivers don’t where the gloves but most do.

LMFAO! That is so RAIDER of them…

Nobody could do it like Freddy and Lester- two of the best to have ever played their position. If you’re stupid enough to think that it was the Stickum that made them great, then you probably struggle on a daily basis.

Thank you PFT- this is the best post ever.

Based on Goodell’s punishment history, will the head
coach be suspended for the year given that he should have known and that’s been illegal for years? Sean Payton wants to know.
