San Diego Chargers being investigated for Stickum use

[JonLP24]

The NFL is investigating the San Diego Chargers for possibly using the banned substance Stickum during the team's loss to the Denver Broncos last Monday night, FoxSports.com reported Sunday.

According to the website, a Chargers equipment manager went onto the field during the game with hand towels containing the substance. Jeff Bergman, the game official, attempted to take the towel from the equipment manager, who refused to give it away.

When game officials made the equipment manager empty his pockets, they found a sticky tape on the towels, FoxSports.com reported.

Stickum, which helps players catch the ball, was banned by the NFL in 1981.

2. With the way gloves are these days, you don't need stickum.

3. That was my first thought.

Those rubbery grippy gloves, why would any player need stickum?

4. If they had any sense, they'd ban Norv.
