i'm pretty sure that this is correct

EDIT: the smelling salts, not the eating of them

i totally spotted that during the game, and for a second thought that we were back in the seventies. i figured it was a pen or something however.

Yea, I thought that was funy that the announcers said that a series or so after this was on video.

Also, watching on the video, the end definately was 'glowing', so I don't think we are looking at a lollypop or pen.

I've heard that smoking pens make you extremely literate. Right???

I don't see a vid if there is one. However, from the photo it may be his mouth guard he is chewing on.

I had hear that Elway used to have a smoke at half time to calm himself down...

Definitely not, watching it on video you can see smoke or steam wisping up from the end. The odd thing about the video, though, is it is a constant glow, not like you would typically see with a cig, where it glows bright for a few seconds while you take a drag, then almost disappears. It was definitely glowing, not just something red, though.

Someone thought it might be an e-cigarette, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette :dunno:

I remember they tried something like that back in the eighties but it was a big failure. But hey, if it can give smokers that fix and not effect the lungs or others from 2nd hand smoke....go for it! Make it law!! muhahahaha

the act of 'smoking' is a big part of the addiction for some people, so the gum/patches doesn't give them their full fix.

i'd rather have him chewing gum on the sideline, but i'd also rather have him use an e-cig rather than dipping on the sideline. i see a lot of other players doing that and it's gross as hell.

I'd imagine there are probably ALOT more athletes than we know of that smoke...but I figured most sports followed baseball and passed the rule that NO tobacco products were allowed to be visible to the public during a game

there's no way. i see tons of players in the NFL dipping. but if this is one of those e-cigs, which is a nicotine nebulizer, then it technically isn't a tobacco product.

Alexi Gusarov is the biggest chain smoker I know.

NHL defenseman.

Olympic Gold.

Stanley Cup.

If you can do that "and" smoke........go right ahead.

The pic kind of makes it look that way, but in the video they are looking at Cutler, who had run out of bounds and into the crowd. He was bent over there, adjusting his shoe or sock or something, and they were all watching Jay. John wasn't on screen that much, as soon as Jay stood up, he blocked the view of John.

Warren Sapp used to always have the biggest dip in his mouth all the time, he looked like there was an undeveloped twin in there, totally disgusting.
