The former Giants quarterback thinks drafting the team's rookie successor is a must, but not before they make this very important move.

Eli Manning bested Peyton again. He’s now 3-0 in the Pro Bowl and 1-0 in the Kick of Destiny. After winning, Manning said it was “well worth it,” referring to some soreness he experienced in practice. The younger brother outdid the older brother and will have bragging rights for however long he likes.

Eli Manning must wait at least one more year for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Giants' legend is not part of the Class of 2025.

Eli Manning's credentials are Hall of Fame-worthy, but unfortunately, they weren't good enough for him to get into Canton in his first year of eligibility.

New York Giants legend Eli Manning may face an extended wait for his Hall of Fame enshrinement after being snubbed in 2025.

Poor Manning family. Bless their hearts. They seem to be on every commercial and every sports show, but Eli didn’t get elected to the Hall of Fame. Deion Sanders didn’t like it. The Giants fans cried blue tears. However, give Eli credit for his immediate reaction to the 2025 snub.

Only four players made the Class of 2025, fewer than most expected given the relative strength of the group. Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharpe, and Antonio Gates will don gold jackets ahead of the Hall of Fame Game for their respective auditions in the summer.

To many New York Giants fans, retired quarterback Eli Manning should have been a slam-dunk first-ballot Hall of Famer. However, as is now known, not enough of the 40+ Hall of Fame voting committee members saw it that way.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning’s Hall of Fame snub caused an uproar from Big Blue fans. In his first year of eligibility, the franchise legend did not make it to the final ten of voting, which could make it harder to get into Canton next year.
