Some guys who are probably not big fans of this post:
John Elway, Deion Sanders, Johnny Unitas, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Julius Erving, Ted Williams, Barry Bonds.
I added honorable mentions today b/c I was thinking of guys like Oscar and Ted Williams. I'm not going with the Deion Sanders thing, though...and Jerry West is a tough sell with his UNO championship.
The biggest injustice has to be Elway. Is there no chance that he should be in there instead of Manning?
