NEW ORLEANS — If Bill Parcells wasn’t voted in on the first three tries, if Harry Carson was snubbed seven times, if Michael Strahan was rejected his first time, it shouldn’t have been a shock that Eli Manning will have to wait to take his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Eli Manning belongs in the Hall of Fame and will one day, but not just yet.{ai:summary}Eli Manning's wait for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame continues, following a pattern seen with other Giants legends like Bill Parcells and Michael Strahan. While many argue he deserves the honor, his candidacy isn't without debate. Fans are left questioning whether an anti-New York bias influences the selection process. Despite his achievements, Manning's induction is not guaranteed. #sports
