Episode Details

Jim is joined by Kenny King Jr., host of the podcast "Real Talk", contributor to "Just Blog Baby" and son of ex-Raider RB Kenny King, to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former Raiders cornerback, Lester Hayes. Jim and Kenny first tackle Lester's infamous use of stickum and how that has hurt how people remember his career (5:07). Then, they cover his 1980 Defensive Player of the Year season, if he was better than his HOF teammate Mike Haynes, and whether or not he was a top two cornerback during the 1980s (10:09). Finally, they discuss how much Lester's career interception total, which is on the lower side by HOF standards, may be held against him (27:24), before reaching a final verdict on whether or not Lester belongs in the Hall of Fame (31:57).
