Tom Brady and Jim Gray Unveil the Hall of Excellence - Designed and Conceived by Peter Arnell
Peter Arnell's Visionary Design Brings Tom Brady and Jim Gray's Dream to Life in Miami
NFL icon Tom Brady and legendary journalist Jim Gray today unveiled the Hall of Excellence, an extraordinary new cultural institution celebrating greatness in sports, leadership, and life. The Hall was conceived, designed, and brought to life by world-renowned designer and brand architect Peter Arnell, who led the vision from its earliest conceptual stages to the final, breathtaking execution.
Located in a beautifully appointed, custom-designed space that blends architectural precision with emotional storytelling, the Hall of Excellence serves as a permanent sanctuary for legacy, inspiration, and the human spirit at its highest level.
'This space is a dream realized,' said Tom Brady. 'We wanted to create something timeless-something that honors the individuals who've shaped history and pushed the limits of what's possible. Peter Arnell brought that dream to life with brilliance, elegance, and depth. Every corner of the Hall tells a story.'
From handcrafted materials to immersive exhibition design, every detail of the Hall was meticulously curated by Arnell to reflect the values of excellence, discipline, and purpose. At its core is a global brand identity titled Blessings, also created by Arnell-a mark that captures the reverence and responsibility of recognizing true greatness.
'Peter didn't just design a building-he built a world,' said Brady. 'It's a space that uplifts. That teaches. That moves people.'
The project was made possible through the visionary support of Jeff Soffer, FBLV, and strategic alignment with Koch Industries, each recognizing the cultural importance and enduring value of the Hall's mission.
Jim Gray added, 'The Hall of Excellence is about legacy-about honoring those who inspire us to be better. Peter Arnell understood that from the beginning, and what he's created here is nothing short of transcendent.'
Peter Arnell, whose legendary career includes the creation of some of the world's most iconic brands and cultural landmarks, described the Hall as 'a living tribute to the relentless pursuit of greatness, captured in a space that allows people to feel, reflect, and aspire.'
The Hall of Excellence opens to invited guests this month and will welcome the public later this year through a series of curated experiences, rotating exhibitions, and leadership symposiums.

Kylie noted that her daughter's response caused her to have to "stifle a laugh." "I'm not gonna lie, yesterday, I was caught off guard because I asked Wyatt, 'Are you for real for real?' and she said, 'No it's pretend pretend,' " she said.

Now that Jason has retired, Kylie shared what she hopes their daughters will take away from their dad's time playing in the NFL. "I hope that ultimately they end up understanding that their dad had an impact on Philadelphia in a way that was wholesome and that he understood the city, enough that he wanted to stay there and raise a family there," she told Today in March 2024. "He gave his blood, sweat and tears to the city and it was out of sheer love and commitment. And I hope that my girls see that.' Elsewhere in the podcast, the mom of four opened up about a secret she's keeping from her four little daughters, and it's a lie she's totally fine with.

The girls are obsessed," Kelce began to explain in the episode.

On the Thursday, June 12, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mother of four recalled a viral moment from her husband Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast last week where their 4-year-old daughter Elliotte Ray loudly shouted, 'I'm all done pooping!' 'Can someone tell me when you're supposed to stop wiping your kids' butts?' Kylie pondered. 'I could be about to get dragged on the Internet … all the moms out there, can you tell me so that we can sort of add them all up and get the average of when we should stop wiping their butts specifically for poop? Okay? Don't come for me." Noting that she doesn't trust her young children to properly wipe and wash their hands, Kylie shared that she taught her kids to call for them when they're going No. 2. 'That's the soundtrack of my life right there,' she said of the call. 'This happens probably anywhere from two times minimum, six times maximum a day. It is legitimately something that I hear in my — I was gonna say dreams, but let's be honest, that's a nightmare.' Read the original article on People

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Deserve It All—and More
Well before the second season of America's Sweethearts premiered on Netflix this week, I knew what I wanted to say about it. In November, I'd spent a game day embedded with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders as the Cowboys played the Texans—though 'day' isn't exactly right. The squad worked for more than 12 hours straight, pulling a shift that stretched from Monday morning to the early hours of Tuesday. Sure, some of that time was spent on buses to and from the Star, the Cowboys' headquarters in Frisco, Texas, and some was spent on hair and makeup. (The cheerleaders are responsible for their own professional-level glam, which demands a lot of powder and a lot of time wielding a Dyson.) But most of those hours were spent dancing: 'Thunderstuck,' their pre-kick-off routine, involves both a 50-yard sprint in under eight seconds (in cowboy boots!) and chorus line jump splits. By the end of the night, the whole team was dripping in sweat and covered in blisters, their pantyhose ripped from their high kicks. Many required trainers for various muscle ailments, or to help wrap their ankles. There were dozens of ice packs, foam rollers, and empty Gatorade bottles scattered across the locker-room floor. But there would be no rest for the pom-pom weary: They had practice the next day, and the day after that. They had all the football games, the corporate shows, the press junkets, and the Cowboys Christmas Spectacular. They had major appearances with Kacey Musgraves, at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, and at Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul in Las Vegas. Netflix camera crews were everywhere, as was our team from Vogue. Everyone stood to profit from their glamorous image—everyone, that is, except for the cheerleaders themselves. Their pay was about $15 an hour and $500 for each appearance. Most had to support themselves with other jobs. They did not have health insurance. Once upon a time, that made a kind of sense. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader squad as we now know it came about in the 1970s. It was advertised as a part-time gig: You had a few practices during the week and performed during the Sunday games. Half a century later, between Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, Pro Bowls, and countless more events, the DCCC are working 30 to 40 hours a week for much of the year, and the Cowboys franchise is worth $11 billion dollars—three billion more than any other team in the National Football League. Their branding as 'America's team,' complete with an unabashed commitment to a stars-and-stripes, yeehaw aesthetic, has made their image endlessly exportable and mineable. Go anywhere in the world, and people know about the Dallas Cowboys—whether they're winning or not. (In 2024, their record was 7-10.)

49ers' John Lynch gets brutally honest on ‘tough' offseason
The post 49ers' John Lynch gets brutally honest on 'tough' offseason appeared first on ClutchPoints. John Lynch, the general manager of the San Francisco 49ers, didn't hold back about the team's difficult offseason. Advertisement Every hard choice, from parting ways with key veterans to reshaping the roster, was guided by a clear vision. 'We had to get younger and we had to get a little cheaper,' Lynch explained, highlighting the team's goal to maintain its core while setting the stage for a significant move: quarterback Brock Purdy's contract extension. This spring, the 49ers bid farewell to several big names, including Deebo Samuel, Aaron Banks, Charvarius Ward, Talanoa Hufanga, and Dre Greenlaw. It was a tough sight for fans, and Lynch recognized that during his appearance on NBC Sports Bay Area's 49ers Talk podcast. 'Even though we kind of warned our fans, that's a tough pill to swallow,' he admitted. 'I think it spoke to how good our roster was.' However, behind this talent exodus was a well-thought-out strategy. Lynch and the front office turned to the draft to reload, focusing on defense with their first five picks. Georgia Bulldogs pass rusher Mykel Williams led the charge, joined by Texas Longhorns lineman Alfred Collins and Indiana Hoosiers' CJ West. The plan was to replace pricey veterans with promising young talent while relying on the coaching staff to help them develop quickly. Advertisement The next big step came in late May when the 49ers and Brock Purdy wrapped up a five-year, $265 million extension, with $181 million guaranteed. While this deal doesn't top the NFL salary charts, it places Purdy among the quarterbacks with the seventh-highest average annual value. For San Francisco, locking in long-term stability at quarterback was essential. Now, the challenge is clear: the 49ers need their rookie class to rise to the occasion and support a core that includes Purdy, Fred Warner, and George Kittle. With several established stars gone, the pressure is on not just the newcomers but also on Purdy himself—now one of the league's highest-paid quarterbacks. Still, Lynch is optimistic. 'We executed a plan that we needed to, and we're excited with the way it all came together.'
