LISTEN: Kurt Warner- former Cardinals quarterback

Arizona Sports

In June, the Arizona Cardinals announced they’d be honoring Kurt Warner by inducting him in the team’s Ring of Honor during the 2014 season opener against the San Diego Chargers.

Warner, just hours before receiving this honor, joined Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM to reflect on his time in the Valley.

“What a special night, what a tremendous honor,” Warner said. “It’s very humbling. It’s always tough to see your name raised up and honored when we played the ultimate team sport. I know that everything I accomplished here was accomplished with a group of men that committed and joined together and believed together.”
