One of the most heated debates in the NFL could come to an end next week if former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Manning, who retired following the 2019 season, is in his first year of eligibility to make the Hall of Fame, and was one of 15 modern-era finalists for the class of 2025.

Manning's candidacy for the Hall of Fame is one that has been heavily debated—especially since he retired. During an appearance on the Up & Adams Show on Friday, host Kay Adams asked Manning about the "bargument" over whether or not he should make the Hall of Fame coming to an end. In response, Manning joked after that maybe he shouldn't enter the Hall of Fame yet to keep the argument going.
