That's cute. Going into your backyard and putting on your gloves and tossing the ball up to yourself is not close to the same thing.

don't take my word for it, take this guy's:
Former Oakland Raiders wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff, can't believe the products players have been using over his nearly two decades as an assistant coach.
"I still think it's cheating," Biletnikoff said. "I can honestly say in my 18 years of coaching, I'd like to have seen guys play without gloves. Those things they're wearing are pretty tacky."
btw, this is not a comment about his ability as a player or his athleticism. but i'm not all that impressed with a guy one-handing a ball when (1) he has the gear he has now to play with, and (2) when he's playing (relatively speaking) with a ball the size of a pee-wee ball to you and me.

This "old school player complaining about the advantages of new players" theme is so tired.

Using tacky gloves is cheating, but slathering sticky crap all over your hands was okay in his day. Got it.

Manziel and LSU players have always been cool.
Ironically.

You could have $40,000 and still not make one of those catches. STFU.

just because you can't catch a ball for shite doesnt mean others on here can't. i've made plenty of 1-handed catches, as i'd presume most of you have as well. now add to that some of these stick'em gloves ...
further, we were talking about the original post of him during warmups, with no pads, no pressure. for pete's sake guys, you all can't be that fricking horrible at football, can you?
* again, this is not a comment on his football abilities. it was a comment on not being all that impressed with a guy playing with a small ball (comparatively) along with some crazy-arse sticky gloves.

ETA:
It was reported, and seemingly confirmed in this photo, that Fred Biletnikoff would put Stickum from his elbow to the tips of his fingers. His entire forearms were like fly paper.

I hear you are a legend when playing catch with that 8 year old down the street.

We patiently await your highlight video.

at least i had more coverage to contend with than OBJ had in his warm ups!

I clearly remember the one against UAB. It was one of the highlights of the massacre along with Landry's catch
Posted on 11/4/14 at 2:06 pm to Coonass
you catching the ball and cradling it with one hand is not that same as that. i guarantee you cant catch it with 1 hand the way he is, with his palms out and not cradling it into his body. unless you have 10" hands, which i doubt cause you'd be playing in the NBA, NFL, or doing porn

Highlight Truthers
Death to the highlight truthers, the giant turds in the punch bowl who float around the internet in search of videos of athletes doing awesome things, only to descend into the comments below the video to inform everyone that the awesome thing isn't actually that awesome. They're the people who insist that Blake Griffin's iconic dunk over Timofey Mozgov wasn't a "real dunk" because Griffin's hand never actually touched the rim. They are this a-hole, and this fricker, and this dick, and this knob, and this shithead. They are a lowing herd of miserable downers who think that it marks them out as clear-eyed sophisticates to dismiss moments of genuine athletic transcendence. I have one thing to say to these people: Die.
I love me some LeBron James. But I don't think this dunk is any more impressive than the usual …
That's not to say that I don't understand the psychology behind the phenomenon. Somewhere in all this scowling and harrumphing is a noble impulse. People who use the internet—and I'm aware that this includes people who visit Deadspin—are constantly being bombarded with hyperbole. "This Amazing Video Of A Pug Doing Backflips Will Blow Your Mind Right Out Of Your arse." Everything on the internet can feel like a sell, sports highlights in particular. The highlight is a commodity like anything else. It's only natural for a human not named Darren Rovell to recoil from all this goddamn selling, from the constant, shrieking demands on your attention. Thus, the tragically hip sports consumer, the guy with the practiced air of indifference who's not buying the cheap gimcracks you're selling, the superior fan who doesn't just stare slack-jawed at whatever slop is served up to him on SportsCenter, the way the rest of you morons do. Thus, the highlight truther.
But here's the thing: It's awesome to watch athletes do cool things. On some level, beyond regional affinities and genetic predispositions, that's why we're sports fans. We like to watch humans fly. Blake Griffin didn't dunk? LeBron's facial was a charge? Russell Westbrook double-dribbled? That 360 was actually a 290? Jesus Christ, shut up. You joyless drips aren't smart, discerning consumers. You're just assholes denying yourselves the very fun of sports in an idiotic effort to achieve some fleeting feeling of moral superiority over your peers. You're the type of people nobody ever wants to talk to at parties.—Tom Ley

So where are the highlights of all the other receivers and their grandmas making similar catches? Why were they pointing it out in the telecast last night?
