A Raider whom Bolts fans should heed

Pity the NFL wide receivers who went against Raiders Hall of Fame cornerback Mike Haynes in the 1980s.

Haynes, studious, fluid and wiry strong, was almost impossible to elude.

Now 62 and living in San Diego, he's still tough to shake.

Only these days, his role is not to intercept passes but to prevent men from dying of prostate cancer.

When Haynes met with a middle age man in Mission Valley last month a few punts away from Chargers Park, he was friendly but firm on the topic of what men should know about the disease's warning signs and the actions needed to bring into play a high cure rate.
