Players get suspended for taking banned prescription medications. Take away the Chargers 1st round draft pick.

Gorilla Snot is a glue used in many if not most workshops across the counrtry. I can see other “Gorilla” products having to do with making other things stick in different ways!

From their website Q & A. It leaves a residue on the hands….it’s called cheating….

Is Gorilla Gold a “tack cloth” like I can get at the hardware store?
No. In fact, it performs the opposite function. A tack cloth is designed to pick up fine particles and leave no residue on the surface, whereas Gorilla Gold is manufactured and formulated to deposit a residue onto the primary surface (hands and gloves) to which it’s applied.

Doesn’t sounds much like cheating… but it certainly is a funny story, because it is the chargers.

Maybe I shouldn’t be letting this out, but if you stuff Gorilla Gold resin in a pipe and light it up…….well, let’s just say you won’t worry about a little rain…..

We use Gorilla Gold in our flag football league. It’s more tacky than sticky, sort of in the way receiver gloves are tacky. It’s not much different in dry weather, but it makes a huge difference in the rain. Like the water isn’t even there.

Unfortunately, all the other teams are going to know about it now.

Obviously the Seahawk receivers and DBs aren’t using these “towels”. Need to get the equipment guy’s ear…

Gorilla Gold Grip Enhancer towels, which use “all-natural resins” to improve the grips of athletes in many sports.

Sounds like stickum light to me.

Sounds like the bath salts version of Stickum.

Stickum makes your hands tacky. It wouldnt superglue you to a defender.

Sorry patriot fans, you’re still the only CHEATERS.”

At least they actually won something during their cheating. Your sorry team is trophy-less and just suffered one of the biggest chokes ever. At home. On national television. While using Stickum.

“Grip enhancer”. Sounds like an adhesive. Natural resins. Sounds like adhesive. Bathe your hands in all natural pine resin, that must be legal too. No word yet as to what was in the container in the trainers pockets that he didn’t want to turn over. Why go through getting searched if everything in your pockets was legal?

Unless you get a prescription for Gorilla Towel, it too will be considered a banned substance.

Bye bye Gorilla Towel, the little secret is no longer…

Love that people we’re blasting the Chargers before any of the facts came out, guilty until proven innocent I guess.

sticky hand towels… is the league sure there wasn’t any pornography laying around Charger headquarters?

I noticed the statement – as referenced here and on the Gorilla Gold website – both refer to other teams using it in the CFL. Although the headline on their website suggests other NFL teams use it – the text actually says CFL.

If the rule is designed to prevent a “competitve advantage” use of the “tackified” towel would seem a clear violation. If it is solely to prevent “stickum” from building up on the surface of the towel perhaps not.

Anyway it is surprising that the statement does not refer to – even without names – a single other NFL team using the product. If it was legal and aboveboard you would think every team would use it.

Also – you would think if there was any questions the Chargers would have sought pre-approval on this one.

Sounds like this might “stick” against the Chargers.

This is a non-story if Gorilla Gold has been widely used in the NFL for ten years.

why would a reciever even want to use stick um. Wouldnt you stick to the defender when trying to break press coverage?
