All Hollywood Mock Draft

Monday, April 23, 2012

With the NFL draft quickly approaching, the staff here would like to bring you our first ever AA Mock Draft!!  Now, this particular mock draft will be done a little bit differently than most you read on the web or see on TV.  I’m sorry, but there will be no Mel Kiper Jr. or Todd McShay breakdowns of the different players.  I thought however, in the interest of having fun (and also not being so well versed upon the needs of the teams and the scouting reports of the prospects), we would give you the internet’s first ever (or so we think, don’t quote us on it) all-Hollywood mock draft.  This is mock draft will operate under the assumption that 20 directors/producers are all making a film at the same time and they are having a draft to chose the actors who are playing the roles in their movies (interestingly, wouldn’t you think this concept would make for excellent television?)  Hopefully what this will accomplish is show who are the biggest stars in Hollywood right now and who we think would not only sell tickets but own are the most talented performers.  I will however note that these choice are made by my perception of how these actors are perceived by Hollywood producers and/or the public.   So these are choices of whom I think would be drafted in what order but my opinions on their full potential will be noted and it may not necessarily reflect who I think is the better actor.  So without further ado... 

With the first pick of the 2012 AA all-Hollywood mock draft….

1.     Leonardo Dicaprio

Yes, we understand that the first pick is somewhat controversial, and a lot of other actors could have gone here.  We think Leo is the safest pick here.  You know what you are getting with him: Big time star power, still rather young, and only continues to produce Hollywood hits. 

2.     Ryan Gosling

Taking Gosling at #2 is a definite reach but is there anyone in Hollywood right now that has a bigger upside than Gosling?  He had a HUGE 2011 with Ides of March, Crazy Stupid Love, and Drive.  His  full range of acting ability really blossomed with these movies.  He is a prime candidate to be a bust, but with such a high ceiling, too good to pass up at #2

3.     Christian Bale

I think Bale goes third strictly because of his acting alone.  I don’t think he possesses the star quality that the first 2 picks have but he has the ability to turn a mediocre movie into a good or even great one.  Not many actors have this trait and therefore I think he doesn’t make it past #3

4.     Matt Damon

As for Damon going 4th, this is definitely a reputation pick.  He has solid movies and will continue to draw crowds, but as of late the direction his movies hasn’t been good with things like Adjustment Bureau and Here After.  This pick definitely could be seen as a stretch at #4.

5.     Johnny Depp

Depp at #5 is probably no real shock.  He is a little older and I think that hurts his value but his acting abilities don’t go away with age.  He has a lot of lovable characters, so we think the top 5 is where he belongs

6.     Jeremy Renner

Other than Gosling, it is hard to find many other people gaining as much steam as Renner in Hollywood right now.  This pick is definitely one based off potential, but if he continues to land big time action roles, look out, Renner could end up being a steal at #6

7.     Mark Wahlberg

BUST ALERT!  Whalberg at #7, we think, is vastly overrating his talents.  However, there seems to be a growing sense that producers are starting to believe that he is an accomplished actor.  We don’t think he deserves it, but it would shock us if someone lets him fall out of the top 10

8.     Brad Pitt

I like Pitt going in the #7-#10 range, I think that is what he deserves, and is probably where he will go.  One of those guys you know what you are getting with him, and is solid on all facets acting (comedy, drama, action, romance).  You name it he can do it and do it pretty well.

9.     James Franco

We think Franco slips into the top 10 at #9 only because of the fact he has shown such versatility and promise so far during his career.  However, he may lack the qualities of being a true star, only time will tell.

10. Zach Galifianakis

The first “true” comedy actor we think comes off the board at #10, Galifianakis had a huge 2009 with Hangover, but his super start status has lessened since.  Still think someone will reach here and take him at #10 with his upside being somewhere in the Chris Farley/Jim Belushi range.

Here are the rest of our picks with short analysis:
11. Will Smith - solid movies, talented actor, not enough of a track record though to warrant top 10
12.  Ed Norton - extremely talented, not much star power, but a possible top 10 pick
13. Robert Downey Jr. - Iron Man's age hurts him, still a top 15 actor though, 
14.  Sandra Bullock - probably most talented woman actor in Hollywood today wouldn't be surprised to see her go as high as #6 or #7
15.  Michael Fassbender - Biggest surprise of the draft, relative unkown who had a big year, could be a steal at #15 or a huge bust
16. Kristen Wiig - arguably funniest woman in Hollywood right now, definite steal anywhere out of the top 10
17.  Will Ferrell - large fan base, guaranatees butts in the seats, would be a safe pick at #17
18.  Russel Crowe - Brings it some roles and doesn't in others, inconsistency drops him out of top 15
19. Ryan Reynolds - up and coming comedy actor that is starting to show versatility, arguably a top 15 talent, but not a long enough track record, we expect to see him fall to #19
20. Adam Sandler - Continues to knock out mediocre comedies, definite stretch at #20, but we think he lands here based off his track record of classic comedic performances

Love it, hate it, but this is how we think an all Hollywood draft would go. 

Wild Wild Week in Sports

Sunday, April 8, 2012

This past week, ending with Easter weekend in terms of sports was wilder than an episode of Mob Wives.  There was a plethora of sports stories that we here at AA decided to go A.D.D. on you and give you a quick take on each thing that happened in the last week.

NCAA Championship:
Congratulations to the University of Kentucky and Coach Calipari on winning the championship.  A lot of people (including me) said you would never win a title because of the way you recruited “one-and-dones”, but apparently you perfected it.  We would like to go on record saying however, that we rooted our ass off for Kansas and Thomas Robinson to get the title.  No team and coach deserved it more, but that is the way sports goes sometimes.  One thing that did get the AA staff excited though is all the NBA talent we got to preview, starting with Anthony “The Uni-brow” Davis.  Can’t wait to see this kid at the next level, can you say next Tim Duncan?

Anthony Davis and his Uni-Brow prevail over Kansas to get his school national title number 8


NBA Home Stretch:
Plenty of great games were on the plate last week including a Oklahoma City and Miami matchup that lived up to its billing.  A lot of experts are predicting these teams to represent their respective conferences in the Finals this year and why not?  Right now both teams have to be the favorites with Chicago and San Antonio not far behind.  The MVP race (not that many people care too much) seems to be tightening between Kevin Durant and Lebron James also.  We thought we might mention the hometown Suns are playing well with wins last week against Utah and Los Angeles, bringing them to within one game of the final playoff spot, so the ending of the season should be really exciting.

NHL Season Over:
We don’t talk about too much hockey here at AA, but we just couldn’t help but bring up those scrappy Coyotes.  With a win to end the season against Minnesota they clinched a division title and a #3 seed going into the playoffs.  We want to extend a major Kudos to Dave Tippet and the Yotes’ staff.   This is their third straight playoff appearance and they did this with no owner, uncertainty whether the team was moving out of Arizona, and just the fact that hockey is just not that popular in the Desert.  Maybe a Stanley Cup could change all that?  Who knows? What I do know though is that with how great of a player former Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky was, he was a lousy coach.

Baseball is Back!:
Finally! We missed you baseball and it just feels right to be watching games again.  A lot of old faces in new places this year and we couldn’t be more excited than ever.  It will take some getting used to seeing Prince Fielder in Motown and Albert Pujols living it up in LA.  However, we couldn’t be any more ecstatic for the hometown D-backs.  A great start to the season including unveiling the new “A”, giving out the Silver Slugger awards (Upton and Hudson), Golden Glove (Parra), and Coach of the Year (Gibson) right in front of division rival Giants and the subsequently going out and sweeping them.  Couldn’t be happier! World Series Pick:  Arizona Diamondbacks over Detroit Tigers.

Masterful Masters:


Our 2012 Masters winner...Bubba Watson Everyone
The encore to the Easter weekend had to be the Masters.  It was the most anticipated Masters in over a decade and it didn’t disappoint, without Tiger in contention amazingly.  It started on Saturday with Phil’s back nine charge finishing up with his birdie on 18.  Going into Sunday there were still plenty of people in contention and the drama started early.  Louis Oosthuiezen’s double eagle on the second, the first one in the Masters since 1935, got things going early.  His playing partner, our boy, Bubba Watson just kind of hung around all day.  Then on the back nine he struck for four straight birdies and sent it into a playoff.  The AA staff was pulling for Bubba and desperately wanted him to win.  After blocking his ball into the deep woods in the playoff coming off a missed putt for the win we thought it was all over.  However, Bubba, out of the pine straw pulled a Tiger-esque scramble shot and stuck it 10 feet from the pin.  He two putted easily for the victory and we couldn’t be happier for the Bagdad, Florida native.  This guy is just an absolute class act all the way.  His dad died only a couple weeks after he lost a playoff in the 2010 PGA Championship and was heartbroken because he knew at the time it was probably the last time his dad would watch him play.  On March 26, 2012, a couple weeks before this year’s Masters he became a father himself after he and his wife adopted a one-month-old baby boy they named Caleb.  Plus, he plays with a custom made pink driver and every time he drives the ball over 300 yards Ping donates 300 dollars to Phoenix-area charities, including an upfront $10,000 donation.  The program is called “Bubba and Friends: Drive to a Million.”  This is not to mention that each outfit this weekend he wore would be sold to raise money for Fresh Start, an organization that offers cosmetic surgery for children with physical defects.  Lastly, he is part of an all PGA Tour boy band called “Golf Boys” (other members include Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane and Hunter Mahan) and most people describe him as a 33 year old kid who just goofs around a lot, plays video games, and a guy who plays the game because he loves it, not for the money.  What is not to like about him?  I mean, the man has never had a golf lesson in his life, he is completely self-taught and he just won the Masters for crying out loud! Congratulations Mr. Watson on getting this one and we look forward to the many more that will come.


Just for good measure we uploaded the Golf Boys big hit "oh oh oh". Enjoy.

aaaai Return of the Roar

Monday, April 2, 2012

I would like to first start off by apologizing to all the loyal readers of AA for not having a post in quite a long time.  We all know that the month of March was full of exciting sports moments and we were not able to give our insights, so for that we are deeply sorry.  However, now that our hiatus is over, we intend to return with a vengeance, much like our main man Tiger Woods did with his win at Bay Hill to claim his 7th Arnold Palmer Invitational victory.  Tiger’s journey from that fateful 2009 Thanksgiving night to this moment has been, to say the least, eventful.  The biggest thing though that I think that killed Tiger more than anything was the fact that he just couldn’t win.  Now, he has finally cracked through and tasted the sweetness of victory.  To see really how far we have come, I thought we could journey back and chronicle through time the progress that Tiger has made as well as our society.



November 30, 2009 – Tiger Woods get into a wreck outside of his house, crashing his Buick into a fire hydrant and tree in his driveway.  At first most of us don’t know what is going on.  Little did we know what would slowly come to reveal itself about Tiger’s personal life over the next several weeks.  From the fact that his wife tried to beat him with a golf club, to the infamous message he left on one of his mistress’s phones that was played on the news over and over, to the 16 different women that came out and admitted to having an affair with him, to him eventually being unanimously hated by every woman across America and the punch line to every joke anyone told for about a month.

February 19, 2010– Tiger has his first press conference since the whole incident and finally (somewhat) comes out with the truth and gives an apology to his family.  He also says that he is going to take more time off from golf to get his mind right, meaning that we weren’t going to see him play for a couple more months, which killed the PGA’s TV ratings.  During this period he also lost many endorsement deals with most of the companies he represented as well.  I think much of us left that press conference feeling that maybe he wasn’t completely sincere, but that we just wanted to see him golf again and that is what we cared about most.

April 8, 2010 – Tiger returns to golf for the first time in about 4 months and everyone is anxious to see how he plays and mainly how the crowds would treat him.  For the most part it was pretty normal, it wasn’t the normal “Tiger crowds” we were accustomed to for so long, but what else would we expect.  We live in a day and age now where everything is so easily shared through the Internet and facebook that professional athletes’ personal lives are bigger than ever.  So, I think that his prior digressions definitely translated into a smaller crowd at the tournament.  As for his performance, he would finish tied for 4th but his performance woes were just beginning.

August 10, 2010 – Woods, still struggling, hires Sean Foley as his swing coach.  Earlier in year Hank Haney resigned, but I think at this point much of America was tired of hearing about Tiger.  He hadn’t won and quite frankly his play was pretty bad.  He competed in the majors, but in the other tournaments his play was abysmal including missing the cut at the PGA championship and withdrawing from the Players Championship.  At this point the discussions were starting would Woods ever win a major again?

July 21, 2011 – Woods fires long time caddy Steve Williams due to personal reasons and the Williams is very upset by this and makes it known through multiple interviews.  I think that this was the first time people were starting to be on Tiger’s side for once because many people made it known how unprofessional Williams behavior after being fired was.  Still, Tiger’s play continued to show brief flashes of getting better, but still no wins to show for.  Due to injuries and other things, many people are now convinced that Tiger may never win another major again.  He would go on to fall as far down as #58 in the world golf rankings.

December 4, 2011 – Tiger finally breaks through and gets a win, except only it doesn’t count.  He wins the Chevron World Challenge, but since it is not an official PGA event, and only had 18 players in the field he can’t officially say he has won again.  However, looking back this had to be a big confidence booster for him.  He knew his game was starting to come back and he was just waiting for a week to put it all together.

March 25, 2012 – After continued improvement including a 3rd place finish at Abu Dhabi and a final round 62 at the Honda classic to almost overtake the young gun Rory McCilroy, he finally put it all together to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.  It was more than that.  While watching it, I felt as though it was a flashback to Tiger’s heyday.  There were enormous crowds following him and that infamous “Tiger Roar” was back.  It felt as though the past 30 months had been forgotten and for Tiger I think he felt the same way.  Golf needs Tiger at the top of his game.  Without him it just isn’t the same.  He finally brought back those old feelings of why we love golf so much and all the excitement that comes with it.  I think that America collectively kind of forgave him to and said, “we know your not perfect Tiger, but as long as you win, we still love you.”  Now as we approach the Masters this weekend the excitement couldn’t be higher.  People are once again picking him to win, and saying that, “Tigers Back!”  Is he? Only time will tell, but I think finding out in the near future is going to be one hell of a ride!










We're "Lin-sane in the Membrane!"

Sunday, February 19, 2012

0 comments

In what seemed like overnight, New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has gone from your average, everyday, obscure-end-of-the-bench player, to national phenomena.  Lin-sanity is sweeping over the nation and the AA staff is just its latest victim.  Game after game, as he continues to play out of his mind, things only keep getting more Lin-sane!  So, naturally, we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to give you our take on the talented young man out of Harvard.  Here are five different questions that will hopefully help us sort out fact from fiction in all the Jeremy Lin madness.  It’s time to go all LIN!

The happy go-lucky kid from Harvard continues to impress us here at AA


Who is this guy and where did he come from?

Well, for those of you who still do not know who Jeremy Lin is, (and there probably not very much of you now) let me give you the quick crash course.  Jeremy grew up in Palo Alto, California and attended Palo Alto High School where he won a state championship in basketball.  Out of high school he got no scholarships (not even from Stanford which was literally on the same street as his high school) and therefore decided to attend Harvard and play basketball.  After playing at Harvard he wanted to go pro but wasn’t drafted.  The Golden State Warriors took a chance and signed him but later cut him.  He was picked up by the Rockets and was cut again shortly.  He was living on his brother’s couch when the Knicks signed him.  Out of desperation, to save his job, Coach Mike D’antoni decided to give the kid a shot about a week later after Lin had spent most his time with the Knicks on the bench.  Well, eight straight games of at least 20 points, a six game winning streak, and a game winning buzzer beater later, he has become the most popular player in the NBA. 

What is with all the Lin puns?

If your keeping score at home, there were three puns in the first paragraph of this post alone.  With that said though, I think I am starting to get tired of them.  Everyone thinks they came up with the next best one.  “All he does is Lin”, “A Lin-derella Story”, “Lin-stant Classic”,  “Lin-credible!”,we’ve heard it all by now.  If I hear one more I might “Lin-stintaneously Combust!”  Okay, maybe I’m not done quite yet after all.

Some people are saying that the only reason he is getting all this attention is his race, agree?

Absolutely not.  The reason he is getting this attention is for two reasons mainly.  One, the dude can flat out ball.  A day after Kobe Bryant disrespected him, he dropped 38 on the Lakers on national TV.  I’m sorry but people are going to start notice you if you do that.  Second, his story is almost too scripted.  America loves an underdog and this kid is that and some.  If you gave his story to a Hollywood filmmaker to be made into a movie they would probably shoot it down for being too unrealistic and that no one would buy it.  That’s why everyone loves him.  I think the race factor does have something to do with it, but I don’t care if he is black, white, blue, or green.  His talent speaks for itself.

With all the attention Lin is getting, do you think LeBron James regrets not coming to New York last summer? 

ABSOLUTELY!!!  How could he not?  Not a knock on Lin at all, but with how big he is right now, how big do you think LeBron would have gotten?  Lin was a bench player, but James is the best player on the planet.  If he would have brought his talents to New York instead of Miami just think of how crazy the garden would get from night to night.  He would have been a basketball immortal, a god practically.  Especially if he brought a championship to that city, and doing it on maybe the biggest stage in all of sports?  I better stop myself from dreaming now before I get too carried away.  It doesn't matter, Lin is making us forget all about that team from South beach anyway .

Is this guy for real and here to stay? Or will he fade away into obscurity once again?

By now I think we all have to realize that this guy is definitely for real.  I mean, worst possible scenario, he ends up having a solid career as a mix-it up energy guy off the bench.  Yet, the more we see him play, the more I'm being convinced that he is blossoming into an elite point guard for years to come.  When you watch him play, not paying attention to stats, he easily passes the eye test.  He has the quickness of guys like D-Rose and Russell Westbrook, but he has the court vision and basketball IQ of Steve Nash.  It's no secret he is extremely smart (he did go to Harvard if that means anything), but those smarts mixed with his athleticism make for one Hell of a good basketball player.  Nevertheless, if your the type of person that only pays attention to stats, how are these?  Through his first seven starts he has scored more points than anyone in league history has done in their first seven starts and is second to only John Stockton in assists.  It's hard not to notice stats like those.  C'mon people, it is Lin-conceivable for anyone to still keep doubting this kid!







After Further Review: Hatred in Sports

Sunday, February 5, 2012

0 comments
Finally, we have arrived to Super Bowl Sunday.  With this Super Sunday edition of the AA post I wanted to point out one thing I noticed as we approached this day.  Throughout the playoffs when I talked to people about the games I heard many things like, "As long as (insert team here) doesn't win I am happy" or "I can't stand (insert player here)."  I never really thought about it much before, but in the world of sports, as fans, we absolutely, completely, whole heartedly HATE people and groups of people that we have never met before.  And the scary part is...we love it.  In a lot of aspects of our lives I believe that most people try to be rational and understanding about things, but when it comes to sports all that is thrown out the window.  As a sports fan myself, there are a lot of teams and players I love to hate, and it brings me great joy to see those teams/players fail miserably.  I wouldn't expect any different from any other "true" fan.  If someone told me they love sports, but they don't have a favorite team (or have like 9 favorite teams) and just root for everyone to play well and succeed, I would have no respect for them as a fan of sports.  I mean, in how many other areas of life can you think of that we openly root for people to fail, and feel good about ourselves when we do?  That my friends is what being a fan of sports is all about.

However, no hate we feel from player to player or team to team is quite equal.  There are levels of hate that each of us feel towards certain teams and players that trumps the hate for some other player of team.  That is why here on the AA Staff (of one) we put in the hundreds of man hours of research and development to bring together the official "Pyramid of Hate!"  The pyramid is an easy go-to guide on the different levels of hatred that we as sports fans feel.

The "I don't know why, but I don't really like him/them" division:

This is probably the lowest form of sports hatred.  It is basically when you don't like a player because of the way he plays or a team because you don't like their jersey colors or logo.  These are the people you root against when you have no "real" vested interest in a sporting event that you happen to be watching.  This is also easily the most volatile division of the pyramid because most of us are one heart felt segment on SportsCenter about Athlete X's troubled childhood away from someone in this divison  becoming one of our favorite athletes.

The "Why won't we trade/cut/hire a hitman to get rid of him division" Division:


Not that anyone hates Nicolas Cage, but can you remember the last good movie he has made in over a decade?  None come to mind, and I have a theory for this called the "Nicolas Cage Effect".  He is such a bad actor that no matter how great of a cast, script, or director you give him he will produce a bad movie.  He single handedly is a cancer to any movie he makes.  For any "true"sports fan we all know at least one player (often times more) on one of our teams that consistently makes bonehead plays and cost the team.   Essentially he is your teams Nick Cage.  You hate him for the simple fact they area cancer to  your team and you want them off.  Ask any Cowboys fan how they feel about a one Mr. Tony Romo? Granted you could make a whole entire sub pyramid of hate within this division, but for the sake of time let's move on.

The "They beat us so I hate them" division:

As a fan, you come to like other athletes and teams around the different leagues.  That is until your team gets beat by them.  Personal Story:  I used to like the Milwaukee Brewers and would root for them as long as they weren't playing my D-backs.  When the NLDS came around and we were playing the Brewers, I thought, well if we lose I won't mind that bad because I don't really hate Milwaukee.  After the events that unfolded during the series with the whole "Beast Mode" thing they did after EVERY hit and Nyjer "I'm a career role player but I will still talk sh*t" Morgan acting like he won the world series every time he got on base got annoying quick.  That coupled with them winning the series, needless to say I will no longer ever be rooting for the Brewers ever again.  Miller Lite Sucks!!

The "Rivalry" Division:

Formerly the top of the pyramid, this is the most traditional form of hate.  Its the most organic and pure. For most people they are born into it.  In Boston they know to hate the Yankees, Lakers, Jets, etc.  The same is true for many other cities.  Kids grow up watching their favorite team and often times experience their soul getting ripped out after suffering heart breaking losses to rivals.  It happened (way more times than not) to me, and that is what sticks with us.  It becomes part of our identity as sports fans to hate these teams.  When you see the colors of that team, anger builds up and a dark sickness creeps into our stomach.  On the flip side, when they lose, our hearts are filled with happiness.  When your team plays a rival there is a different air to them game and it's practically palpable.  There is a "we don't like you and you don't like us" feeling.  That is what makes sports so great.  I once thought this level of hate to be unbreakable until...

The "I hate you because it's the right thing to do" division: 


Not too long ago, I would've told you under no circumstances do you ever root for a rival of your team.    That is until this happened.  When three of the sports best athletes conspire to come together to try and dominate the league, as a sports fan there is no level of hate greater than that you must feel for the team that does this.  The Heat are exactly what's wrong with sports and for that rooting against them trumps rooting against any other team, even if they are your teams rival.  Yes I said it.  There is just a certain integrity about it.  A "true" sports fan knows this and that is why the Heat were almost unanimously hated by the entire country last summer when they were making their title run.  I even talked to a die hard Laker fan who admitted to rooting for the Celtics (which, if you know anything about Laker fans is completely taboo) against the Heat .  When they did in fact lose you could almost feel the collective sigh of relief let out by millions of Americans.  To me, this is the greatest form of sports hatred and the closest comparison I could give to someone that is not a sports fan is rooting for the heat would be like rooting for the Nazis in World War II.  You hate them because it is the right thing to do.













Let's Bring Peyton to the Desert

Sunday, January 29, 2012

As we approach Superbowl Sunday one of the hot topics around the NFL is: where is all-world QB Peyton Manning going to end up next year?  I find it quite hilarious that older brother Peyton is stealing headlines while younger brother Eli is about to play in his second Superbowl...but that's neither here nor there.  It seems as if the growing consensus among the experts is that Peyton has one foot out the door already.  So with the first official AA post ever, the AA staff (of one) has started the first official "Bring Peyton to the Desert" Campaign!  Here are 10 reasons why Arizona is the ideal place for Peyton to take his talents next year. (Peyton, if your reading this you might want to take real good look at reasons 5-10...just saying.)

Reason #1: Location, Location, Location.  Can't go to many other teams in the NFL that will have as beautiful weather as we do in the basin.  Why do you think so many people come to retire here?  Plus, we play in a dome, so it will be just like playing in Indy, except a lot more red. Which brings me to...

Reason #2: The Red Sea will embrace you immediately.  By coming to the desert you will automatically be on the same level as Fitz and Nash in terms of how much the fans will love you.  We understand, you'll always be Colt...whatever.  The folks back in Indianapolis are ready to move on with the young gun Luck, and you should too.

Reason #3:  Good young defense, offense that is ready to explode.  The pieces are in place, just need the quarterback that will push the team over the top.  Kurt Warner already proved it could be done, and in most people's opinion you're a little better.  Plus we play in the NFC West, yes it no longer is the NFC West of the old days but still, its not the AFC East.

Reason #4:  You seem like a family man, and let me be the first to tell you, Arizona has a great public school system.  The golf is great too, and we have a whole lot of scenery:

The Tempe 12 would be the first to welcome Peyton to the Valley of the Sun
(the mountains and desert are pretty cool too).  Okay, Okay I admit I am struggling to come up with good reasons, so without further ado....


Reason #5:  Larry Fitzgerald

Reason #6:  LARRY FITZGERALD!

Reason #7: LAAAARRY FIIIITZGERRRALD!!!!!!

Reason #8: LARRY FREAKIN FITZGERALD!!!

Reason #9:  LARRY!!  FITZ!! GER!! ALD!!

Reason #10:  Larry "the legend" Fitzgerald.

Enough said.  Balls in your court Peyton....make the right move.
