Episode 13: Drew Pearson with Gary Myers

On today's podcast, Jim is joined by New York Times bestselling author, former NFL columnist for the Dallas Morning News and NY Daily News, HBO Inside The NFL alum, and Pro Football HOF voter Gary Myers to breakdown down the resume of former Dallas Cowboy wide receiver Drew Pearson. Jim and Gary first discuss the Pro Football HOF voting process and how rough the journey to the hall of fame has been for Pearson (2:38). Then, they discuss how Pearson was involved in the first official "Hail Mary" play, the NFL in the 1970s, how in the world Pearson is the only offensive player on the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-1970s team not to already be enshrined in the HOF, and his career playoff numbers (17:34).  Finally, they go through some of the reasons why Pearson has not been inducted, including his surprisingly subpar Super Bowl performances (46:01), before making a final call on whether or not Pearson deserves to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next February (59:38).
