Who's using stickum?
This picture was linked to in a story on ESPN.com about the Red Sox and how a bunch of their players put pine tar on their batting helmets. (I must confess I wondered why they were so dirty)
It reminded me of a commercial Steve told me about a long time ago where some dude had a football stick to one of his hands though he denied using stickum with the question above. I unfortunately never saw it, so he could correct me if I'm wrong.

Hehe, I love the picture of the old-school player slathered in stickum.
I wish I could remember more about the commercial (or better yet, find it on the web). I can't even remember what it was trying to sell.
Basically it started out with this (American) football receiver making a spectacular one-handed fingertip catch. Then I think they cut away to show the product, or have the fake announcers rave about the catch or something. When they cut back, the ref is tugging, and tugging at the ball trying to get it off the receiver's hands. The last line is the receiver going "Who's using stickum?!"
You just have to imagine the line being delivered in perfect incredulous disbelief. It was pretty funny. Alas, google can't seem to find it, probably because I don't even remember what it was a commercial for.
