Turkey Bowl Review: a Battle for the Ages

Well boys and girls, the Turkey Bowl has come and gone. It was nothing short of a classic with Self's team coming out victorious. He are some of the highlights:

(1) Pistolas' Injured Finger- This injury proved more costly then anyone expected. Suffering probably unbareable pain, Pistolas' control of the ball became extremely affected. He began the game throwing some good short routes, hitting Delorenzo multiple times as he broke down the zone of Self's team, but two costly interceptions on the first two drives forced him to give way to the 8th Round Draft pick Mike D'Urso. Pistolas was still able to deflect many passes on defense and gain a significant amount of YAC, something very rare in two-hand touch.

(2) Self and Pooch Combination- Both wearing gloves that were horribly unnecessary, Self and Pooch proved to be the backbone of their team. Pooch was able to snag passes it seemed effortlessly (leading to a Turkey Bowl investigation of Stick'em). Running constant 7 yd routes due to lack of conditioning, Pooch set up the passing game for Self who was able to throw some nice deep passes. These two were trouble the whole game.

(3) Mike D'Urso proved a key pick- Some laughed when this young lineman/cornerback/Quarterback was picked with an extremely late round choice. He, however, proved his value on his very first drive at the helm. He marched the Delorenzo Warriors down the field with a mixture of fast throws and timely running. His strong arm and fresh legs proved a dynamic element to the Warriors. He went 56 of 63, 8 Passing touchdowns, 2 Running Touchdowns, proving himself to be the biggest steal in Turkey Bowl Draft history.

(4) The emergence of BM as a viable receiver- Who the hell saw this coming? He caught the first two touchdowns for Self's team, though he was never heard from again. His bulk did not affect his play.

(5) Delorenzo Shined- As predicted Delorenzo went off. He proved to be the heart and soul of the team with his spirited receiving and defending. Dan Delorenzo proved himself to still be the best player in Turkey Bowl history.
