Nick Foles is deservedly set to be inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.
Nick Foles will deservingly be immortalized by Arizona's Sports Hall of Fame. NFL ChampionSuper Bowl MVP@ArizonaFBall's Leader in Career Passing YardsWelcome to the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame, Nick Foles! Never has a nickname been more appropriate. Once Nick Foles returned to the Philadelphia Eagles and led the team that drafted him to Super Bowl glory, it was official. Saint Nick... That says it all. It has a significant tone to it. The name is also mentioned in conjunction with one of our favorite holidays. As the other 'Saint Nick' is credited with riding on a sleigh led by reindeer, Foles is the only man walking who can say he was the first quarterback to start for Philadelphia and win football's biggest game. That night in February, Super Bowl LII was a gift that keeps on giving to Eagles fans. Philadelphia has two Lombardi Trophies now, but you know what they say. You never forget your first. Foles was recently given another honor. He will be inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame. This is yet another feather in the cap for what has been a respectable football career. Congratulations to Nick Foles. The City of Brotherly Love and the Arizona Wildcats owe him a debt of thanks. Now comes the more selfish question. How do we get this guy a bust carved and set in Canton, Ohio? Based on sthe tory alone, we believe he deserves one.

Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill joining Arizona Sports Hall of Fame
The Arizona Sports Hall of Fame will have a sixth member from the Arizona Cardinals. It was announced Thursday that team owner Michael Bidwill has been elected to the 2024/2025 class of the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame, which honors athletes, coaches, administrators and others who have made exceptional contributions to sports in Arizona. The other five former Cardinals already inducted are quarterback Jake Plummer, receiver Larry Fitzgerald, safety Pat Tillman, safety Adrian Wilson and Michael's late father, Bill Bidwill, who owned the team before him. Bidwill was team president from 2007-2019 and took over as owner after the death of his father in 2019. Since Bidwill began running the team, the Cardinals have had five double-digit win seasons and five playoff appearances. Prior to that, since moving to Arizona, the Cardinals had only one winning season and playoff appearance — in 1998. He has also helped impact the local economy as Arizona has hosted three Super Bowls since he began running the team. He is a local business leader as well. Congratulations to him and the rest of the newest members. The 2024/25 class of the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame are the following: Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill Former Olympic and Arizona State swimmer Melissa Belote Ripley Former University of Arizona basketball player Mike Bibby Former U.S. Women's soccer star and Mesa native Julie Ertz Former Diamondbacks GM Joe Garagiola Jr. Former University of Arizona football standout Ricky Hunley Former MLB player and Scottsdale high school star Paul Konerko Matt Shott, the former Senior Director of Amateur Hockey Development for the Arizona Coyotes. The induction ceremony will take place April 10, 2025 at Chateau Luxe in Phoenix.
