Eli Man, now, of course, this weekend they inducted the new Hall of Fame class of 2024,

and that was spectacular.

Well, the class of 2025, of course, is next year.

And one of the biggest names in that class, of course, is Eli Manning.

And the question is, Martin, and Rob and I have talked about this a lot on this show.

We had Rob Woodson, one of the greatest defensive backs ever to say that Eli Manning is not a Hall of Famer.

So there is some debate on him.

Where do you stand on it with Eli as far as him being a Hall of Fame?

If you had asked me the year after he retired, I would have said absolutely not.

However, as I've thought about it, put some seasoning on it and put it in the oven.

I go back to like when I forget who was the first person I heard say it, but it's not an unpopular phrase.

If you can't, if you can tell the story of whatever sport without said athlete involved in that story

they're probably not a Hall of Fame that's ridiculous if you can well if you can tell

that's a little much if you can tell I can tell the story of basketball without talking about

Damien Lillard well I mean I mean, you know what I'm saying?

The Basketball Hall of Fame has a ton of people.
