Where Legends Live On: Tom Brady's And Jim Gray's Hall Of Excellence In Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 09: (L-R) Jim Gray and Tom Brady attend Jim and Frann Gray in ... More Partnership with Tom Brady and The Tom Brady Family Collection Bring Hall of Excellence to Fontainebleau Las Vegas at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on February 09, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo byfor Fontainebleau Las Vegas) In a city built on spectacle, well-known legends just raised the bar on what it means to honor greatness. Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, iconic sports journalist Jim Gray and his wife Frann have joined forces to launch a one-of-a-kind experience inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. It is called the Hall of Excellence and it lives to its name. This Hall is not just a museum—it's a cathedral of greatness. Inside, you'll find the fingerprints of champions: Brady's Super Bowl rings, Muhammad Ali's gloves, Tiger Woods' golf ball from his first Masters win, equipment used by tennis legends like Billie Jean King and Serena Williams. But this Hall doesn't stop at the stadium gates. It pushes beyond the arena and into every corner of human achievement—with treasures like Oprah Winfrey's Presidential Medal of Freedom, Clint Eastwood's Academy Award, and artifacts from American presidents. Visitors can see all of this and more, while being guided through the museum with Morgan Freeman offering the narration. Brady offered some valuable insights on some of the items in the Hall that continue to impact him. 'There's something powerful about standing in front of Jackie Robinson's bat and understanding what that moment in history meant—not just for baseball, but for an entire country,' Brady said. 'Or seeing Oprah's Medal of Freedom and thinking about how she used her platform to lift others. And of course on the sports side, every artifact we have represents a symbol of what's possible.'

(Photo by Simon Bruty/Anychance/Getty Images) The Hall of Excellence is a place where the extraordinary isn't just displayed, it's felt. Jim Gray, whose voice and reporting have guided fans through some of sports' most memorable moments—from Ali to the Olympics—has always had an eye for greatness. But this, he told me, is something different. 'I got to see the work ethic and what it took to be great,' Gray said in an interview with Forbes. 'You can be great, but you're not always excellent.' Gray understands that great isn't the same as excellent. You can be great in a moment, but excellence is earned over a lifetime The idea of the Hall of Excellence first took root years ago, in a conversation Gray had with legendary Raiders owner Al Davis. From there, Gray started kicking around the concept of what it might look like to honor not just the athlete, but the excellence that defines the person behind the performance. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MAY 31: (L-R) Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, sportscaster Jim Gray ...

(Photo by) When Brady reflects on the Hall, he does not speak as an athlete, but as a student of excellence. What stood out to him wasn't just the names, but the mindset they shared. 'Whether they were on a stage, on a field, or changing lives through their leadership, the one thing they all had in common was an unrelenting drive to pursue greatness, not for recognition, but because they felt called to it,' Brady said. For Brady, that call to excellence has always been personal. 'My parents and sisters showed me what commitment looked like,' he said. 'I wasn't the most gifted athlete as a kid, far from it, but I was lucky to grow up surrounded by examples of what hard work and perseverance really meant. I saw my sisters wake up at dawn to chase their dreams. I saw my dad treat people with respect and integrity, no matter the situation.' Brady's family built the foundation that allowed him to pursue greatness, and, now, he's building one for others. 'This place isn't about fame or glory,' he said. 'It's about the journey behind the moment. It's a tribute to those who dared to dream big, who pushed through pain, doubt, and failure to create something extraordinary. If someone walks out thinking, 'I'm ready to chase my own version of excellence,' then we've done our job.' Now, that seed has grown into a legacy. Gray and Brady have worked with organizations and individuals across the sports world to curate the new museum, including several Halls of Fame, and he remains awestruck by the trust that icons have placed in the Hall of Excellence. 'They're trusting us with their most personal prized possessions,' he said. 'It's truly an honor that they have allowed us to do that.' With more than 40 million visitors passing through Las Vegas each year, the Hall of Excellence is poised to become more than just a destination. It just might spark a movement, a renewed commitment to excellence. 'I want this to be the greatest experience of its kind,' Gray told me. 'I want everybody to leave the Hall of Excellence feeling inspired by it. They get to relive their fondest memories, or teach their kids something and inspire them.'

For him, this is about legacy—not as a quarterback, but as a builder of belief. 'Every story in the Hall speaks to discipline, resilience, and a deep commitment to purpose,' he explained. 'These people didn't just have talent, they cultivated it with consistency and courage, especially when things got hard.' That's the kind of excellence that doesn't fade with time. That's the kind of excellence this Hall was built to honor. And if you're lucky enough to walk through its halls, you'll leave with more than memories. You'll leave with a treasure just as valuable as those displayed in the museum: the challenge to be excellent.

Logan Paul's jaw-dropping springboard moonsault wows fans at WWE Money in the Bank
Logan Paul has continuously performed highlight reel-worthy moves in the WWE ring since he became a member of the company a few years ago. Saturday night's Money in the Bank may have taken the cake. Paul teamed up with John Cena to take on Cody Rhodes and world heavyweight champion Jey Uso in the latest chapter of Cena's farewell tour. Cena interrupted Paul's title match at "Saturday Night's Main Event" last month, leading to the return of Rhodes. In the last few weeks, the four men have taken sides, and it culminated into a match. He hit a few of his signature moves during the match – a frog splash here, a Paul-verizer there. But fans jumped out of their seats when he and Uso fought outside the ring. Paul put Uso on top of one of the announcer tables. He then went to the apron and looked back to check Uso a couple of times before he hopped onto the middle rope and did a moonsault to crash onto Uso. The two pro wrestlers went through the table together in what may have been the moment of the night. Unfortunately for the Paul-Cena team, the match didn't go into their favor. As the referee checked on both Paul and Uso, Cena hit Rhodes with the Undisputed WWE Championship belt. Then R-Truth made a shocking appearance to cost Cena the match. Rhodes hit Cena with the Cross Rhodes and pinned him for the win. But Paul's move caught the eye of WWE fans. Jake Paul even weighed in with his take. "My brother is the best wrestler in the WWE," the boxer wrote on X. It's unclear what's next for Logan Paul. Cena, leaning into his heel character, dubbed Paul the future face of WWE. Paul has certainly shown he has the move set for it. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
