No ? given.
GOAT regardless.
That those Pats fans dug this up is the tax paid for finger pointing while inside a less than solid house, though.It all started in an interview with Jim Rome on Jan. 22 when Rice accused the Patriots of cheating during a conversation about Deflategate.
"I'm going to be point blank, I feel like it's cheating," Rice said.
Rice didn't stop with the cheating comment either, he also added that if the Patriots end up winning the Super Bowl, which they did, their title should have an asterisk next to it.
"I think you have to really put an asterisk on it, because this is going to follow them, you know, for the rest of their lives, because when you look at it, when people go back and they think about the New England Patriots, they're going to think about these controversies," Rice said.
Ironically, Rice also added that he would never cheat, "I've always wanted to do things the right way," Rice said. "I didn't want to take any short cuts or anything like that.
Rice's comments didn't sit well with Patriots fans, who scoured the internet and found an incriminating video of Rice. In the video, which was published on ESPN.com on Jan. 17, Rice admitted that he used to put stickum on his gloves during his playing days. -
Stickum was illegal to use so yes he's a cheater but I don't care about it.

It's cheating... Esp with the reputation rice had of having the greatest hands with Chris Carter...

damn

Thread is being avoided like the plague, get these ? that were crying about integrity in here
-
this is a huge factor in the Montana vs Brady debate as well

I don't really care about no stickum ... until he gets high and mighty about asterisks and playing the right way. It's cool to call the Patriots cheaters unless you actually cheated with something just as dumb.
In fact, a wide receiver using stickum is probably exactly as much of a "competitive advantage" as a quarterback deflating a football, if not more. -
The gloves that players use these days > Stickum
-
Like I said before about the Pats
No big deal. -

Fuxk it, never mind. -
His route running was.smooth and goat but way he caught the ball makes me kinda rethink he him as a wr and for him to admit it wss weird still take.michael rving over him anyday
-
That some ? u take to the grave with u.
? should of kept his mouth shut...
-
Everytime I see a highlight from him making a catch all I hear is "splack" lol
-
This ? is a cheater that ratted on hisself.

Yes It's cheating and no he is not my goat. Moss is the best wr my eyes has ever, he just never had a great QB or organization like Rice did until NE.
-
It's cheating. How significant it is to his stature as a WR, I don't know. Does it really make that much of a difference? Like someone else in here suggested, does it give any more of an advantage than the gloves players use today? How many other players were doing it? I mean if everyone else was cheating in the same way, then he really didn't get a competitive advantage.
As for the Brady comment, this doesn't play into that at all. If you want to talk about something that plays into the Montana vs Brady discussion, how about we talk about the rule changes that have universally benefitted QBs. Hell, at least one of those changes was made pretty much specifically to placate Brady. -
If it was illegal than it was cheating,but it was one player and not an entire organization.That is on Rice and he at least admitted he cheated.Deflated ? has more impact on the game than a player using stickum.none of that changes the facts he spoke.4 asterisks simple and plain.
-
It is cheating and I never really did like Jerry, but overall I don't think it takes too much away from his accomplishments.

Whether it does or doesn't we weren't deflating ? so what the ? are you talking about? -
I used stickum back in the day in practice. That ? is mad overrated. It's more of a confidence boost if anything. You have to wear a whole lot kinda like Lester Hayes for it to really make a difference. If you wear that much the refs will notice. This is a none story imo. Besides it aint like Rice wore stickum his whole career. Gloves became common in the late 80's and early 90's.

Na he still the goat.
