Earlier this month, the legendary New York Giants Elli Manning, who retired, was taken over to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of qualification.
Great tight end Antonio Gates, now named Canton after being bypassed last year, has received solid advice from ELI on how to handle the disappointment.
from TMZ Sports:
The legendary charger, which took office in the 2025 class last week after being snuggled in 2024 just 12 months ago, spoke about TMZ Sports at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Callers just need to stay positive.
Gates said he headed to a year that focused on “my best version” after being shockedly forbidden to get a bust in Canton.
It appears that Eli is already dealing with the snubs with dignity and class. And why doesn’t he do that? He showed nothing in his life.
“I felt it was going to be my night and I understand that,” Manning said. Appears in NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
“I’m totally peaceful. It’s not going to change my perspective on my career and how I feel about it,” he said. Jacob Camenker from USA Today.
In his first interaction with TMZ after the Hall of Fame announced that Eli, the class of 2025, is cool. He was busy and on his way to a lucrative life.
“Life is good” He said. “I’m happy with the people who came in. Jared Allen came in and he fired me a lot, so I feel like I was part of that moment. I’m happy about it. Do it.”
Next year, Eli will get another shot on ensh crime. He stands up against a tough new group that includes Larry Fitzgerald, Drew Brees and Jason Witten, so there is no guarantee.
