2011 Turkey Bowl SECOND BIG ANOUNCEMENT

TUNA GOLF ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES THE NIKE TURKEY BOWL TENTATIVE ROSTERS FOR 2011

Commerce City, Co (AP) November 15, 2011

By Dickie Dunn – if Dickie Dunn wrote this then it has to be true!!!

What up man. You mind posting a forum topic on this? The who, what, when type stuff. Would really appreciate it!

The Hype has begun for the 2011 edition of the Turkey Bowl. That’s right, the game to end all games, the War of the Roses, the North versus the South, The Bedlam Game, the Us versus them, the Italians versus the rest of the world. You name it the game has it. The epic grudge match that is more commonly known as the 2011 Edition of the Turkey Bowl. And so it shall be. The game is scheduled for 10 am thanksgiving morning at Infinity park. Glendale. Auxiliary field and the rosters look impressive and stacked.

The Pre game hype was stoked at the annual kickoff luncheon held at the fabulous and spacious Park Hill Golf Driving Range in front of a throng of other golfers trying to hit golf balls. As usual the game’s North squad will be led by Sports Caster of the year, Channel 4’s own Vic Lombardi and his squad of celebrities and hoodlums versus the South Squad let by venerable Super Sports Agent Peter Schaffer and his team of ringers, NFLer’s and friends from all over the Denver and the globe. The game is as exciting for its great plays as for its malapropos.

The Turkey Bowl Junior game will also be played at the same time and will include a multitude of talented yutes, sons and daughters of the combatants and the players and anyone else who wants to play. Please bring and invite all kids as they are all welcome to enjoy the festivities and wear their favorite jerseys.

As South Head Coach Lynn Watwood "you do if I sang out of tune” said at the press conference announcing the game held appropriately on the Friday prior to Halloween evening "I can’t wait for this game this year. We have three goals for the game this year – to beat the day lights out of the South squad, the help raise money for a great cause, Morgan Adams Foundation and the third goal is, well it is, I am trying to remember the third goal, ah yes the Environmental protection agency."

Of course the North Teams Head Coach, Quarterback, multi time Emmy award winning Sportscaster Vic Lombardi was not to be out done. When asked about allegations of improper behavior on his part in the selection and recruiting of his team this year after last year’s debacle, Lombardi stated “We play to win the game, and I always feel that football team with players named Butkus, Lombardi, Unitas and Namath has a better chance of winning then a team with names like Schaffer, Randall, and Brown – sounds more like a law firm then an imposing team. We play to win the game!!”

It appears that both squads will be represented by some of Denver’s greatest known athletes of all time, celebrities, Tunas, hacks, wannna bees, haz beens, never waz, who be they and personalities ever collected or assembled on a field at one time. The game is scheduled for Thanksgiving morning at 10 am. The plan is also to raise money once again for the Children’s Tumor Foundation as we did in 2010. The sponsorship form is attached to the e mail as well. Coverage will be blasted all across Denver in the coming month so be ready for it.

Tuna legend, Tuna rules director, CU football great and former Green Bay Packer star and Director of College Scouting for the Oakland Raiders Dave McCloughan has stated "to be honest with you there will be more talent in this game than in a UFL game or college game so I might as well show up and scout these boys. We are always looking for "Mike" backers and I just might find one at the Turkey Bowl." McCloughan then looked at his notes and remarked "what number is Matt Russell wearing any way?"

Turkey Bowl director of Marketing, Paul Stern is also pleased to announce the generous sponsorship of the game this year by Athletic Giant Nike and the thus the change of the Name of the game from the Tuna Turkey Bowl to the Nike Tuna Turkey Bowl sponsored by Nike and being played this year at the Nike Tuna Dome and also that due to the generous sponsorship by Nike of the Turkey Tuna Bowl that the day of the game has also been changed from Thanksgiving Day to the Nike Thanksgiving day sponsored by Nike. Stern was also quick to note that good seats are still available for the game that will start around 10 am. Tuna director of Mascots Derek West also has indicated that do to the unavailability of Ralphie to run around the field he has stated “If we can't get Ralphie...I will bring my dog to run behind me during the Player introduction!”

The North teams roster is still largely a mystery other than the fact that they will have a gaggle of Lombardi’s and adopted Lombardi’s playing such as former Broncos Reggie Rivers and former CU QB Star Joel Klatt. The North will be adorned in their historic white throwback jerseys while the South will shine in dark throwback jerseys of their own choosing.
