San Diego Chargers Under Investigation for Sticky Substance

The substance could be Stickum—a product that's used to improve one's grip.

The NFL is investigating the San Diego Chargers for allegedly using a sticky substance during the Oct. 15 game against the Denver Broncos, which they lost 35-24.

Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer tweeted "NFL Security has already begun investigation as SD equipment man was hiding illegal sticky substance and giving to players. Line judge saw it and had it confiscated and sent to broncos and league."

The substance could be Stickum, a product used to improve one's grip and banned by the league in 1981. Possible penalties include fines and a loss of draft picks.

The Chargers, in a statement, said they are "aware of the inquiry and are cooperating fully with the League."

The Chargers have a bye this week.

The only thing worse than cheating and getting caught is cheating losing and getting caught!

Wouldn't one think that if the Chargers were going to use a substance to enhance their game, they would actually play better?
Courtroom Observer October 21, 2012 at 06:09 pm
Imagine how much worse they would have played if they hadn't cheated. Or maybe they cheated in the first half but were caught before the second half thus the major change in performance.

A new stadium would fix this.

Sucks all around! They should fire the ones who did it (if they did it). Cheaters never win!
Things I Learned October 21, 2012 at 06:49 pm
They'd need 3 or 4 to fix this.

I think the city of San Diego should pay them to move away.
Encinitas resident October 21, 2012 at 07:19 pm
You mean to tell me even if they cheat they still cant win?

Why would they need or use ANY illegal substance? Home Depot sells a glove very close to what NFL receivers use. Very sticky. I could catch a greased pig travelling at nearly mach 1 with these things. I know, cuz I did it at the Olde Plank last night! LOL

i would have thought the only thing "sticky" around the chargers were the cogs in norv turner's brain that keep him calling running plays inside the tackles when the team is facing a 4th and 9 situation..deep in their own territory..

Good call Doug!
John Gillihan October 22, 2012 at 11:19 am
of course cheaters win. Has the league stripped New England of any of their titles?
Bill Cooper October 22, 2012 at 11:36 am
Punishment should be to suspend Norv Turner to the end of his contract...wishful thinking on my part. Actually, there is a story circulating that the 'substance' is actually a dehydrant to dry out sitcky gloves and promote it's natural stickiness...NFL should be able to figure it out.

How sad if it's found to be true. All these men and women in sports, that want to call theirselves ADULTS will never learn.
Ask any 3rd grader "CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER"! I guess this is a sticky subject!!!
