    He appears to be alone in his lunacy.

    Denver violated the salary cap in those title winning years so he's out

    Ben only "won" one SuperBowl (and it was magnificent). Antwaan Randle El was the better QB for Pittsburgh in their win* against Seattle.

    There's no confusion; the rule explicitly says the gloves can have a tacky substance on them. The league tacitly reinforced this when they expressly stated the towels San Diego were using in 2011 (that had a tacky substance applied to them) did not violate league rules.

    Jerry Rice didn't play in 2o11.

    I get it. Rice wrong, you're right. I'll move along.

    Gloves CAN have a tacky substance on them but it must be as part of the design of the glove AND approved as being compliant with the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment’s rules and regulations before use.

    ODB's equipment is therefore correct and above board (unless he decided to spray on an additional and uncontrolled adhesive).
    Someone deciding halfway through a game to use an oven mitt with double sided gaffer tape applied would be 'gating'

    They were made with that substance on them for the thousandth time. Nobody is confused here but you

    The NFL doesn't require NOCSAE compliance for gloves.

    All athletic equipment used on the football field has to be certified (at one time).
    All athletic equipment used on the football field has to be compliant with NFL rules.

    You need both if you don't want *

    ODB's gloves being NOCSAE approved doesn't make them NFL legal or vice versa but they are the 2 necessary 'qualifications'.


    The only real confusing issue is just how good JR would be without the advantage he gained?

    He was pretty good at what he did. He ran the routes, got seperation and the ball went his way but the moment it hits his gloves..........would he of made those catches against the Jets in the AFCG, Would the 49ers beat the Bengals, Would Aikman have 4 rings?

    I have no idea what this means. I don't know what the * means. I have no idea why we are still discussing NOCSAE regarding the gloves when we know, definitively, that the NFL rules does not require gloves to be NOCSAE compliant. The NFL rules allow gloves to have a tacky substance on their surface as long as the substance does not come off the gloves and adhere to the ball - end of story - that's the rule.

    As long as he was operating within the rules, which he was, I don't really care. It's an uninteresting question to me. The only reason it's even being discussed is because the Cheaties fans are desperate to talk about anything other than their own team's constant cheating.

    if they were within the rules, then why did he recently apologize for not being aware of the stickum rule?

    Because unhappyjetsfan is the only person in the world making this inane argument. Check the Internets, he's the only one smart enough in the world to understand the real rule.

    Clearly because he doesn't know the rule.

    Or you can't read/are being stubborn/delusional because you just can't take the agony of being wrong on a message board. You are entrenched and won't give it up. But you are just making it worse on yourself

    Brady has a phony wife?
    She's not married to him?

    I beg your pardon but New England came back from two 14 point deficits and were leading by 4 points, which meant Seattle had to score a touchdown.
    If it weren't for a lucky catch at the 5 this game would have been over sooner.
    Seattle lost because their defense could not hold two 14 point leads and a defense that allows 37/50 passing in a Championship game sucks!
    Seattle defense lost that game.
    Like the Ravens, a bunch of loudmouth, bullsh*tters who can't carry a game.
