SEATTLE, WA (AP) – Thanksgiving Day, November 27th 2008 will host one of best match ups ever of non-professional Football league history. “I can’t wait for this day.” Someone stated when asked about the announced game for Turkey Bowl®. This excitement for the game is due to the fact that both teams have superior passing offenses (because the lack of any running game) averaging a touchdown on every possession. One can only imagine an action packed game full of unconventional style plays.

Erik Krieg

The hosting field will be Georgetown Playfield in Seattle WA, the artificial field turf is a sign of relief for players that played in horrible field conditions in the past. Before the teams would not only have to dodge would be tacklers but also goose poop, potholes and small children that wander onto the field.

But don’t sell the defense short (literally) with an average height of only 5″5 they have ran back interceptions for TD like they were playing for the other team.

Jun Delovino

Skeptics are still concerned of the possibly of Erik Krieg performing for the game. The uncertainty of his throwing arm has been question when Krieg was involved in a pedal bike accident which broke his elbow. When Krieg was asked about the incident he made no comment. But with this teams powerhouse of receivers any “Joe the Plumber” can walk onto the field and throw for TD’s.

So who are the players to look out for, well high production numbers has always been consistent with Jun Delovino. One of the quickest receivers that can dance circles against anyone that defends him. “He literally broke my ankles.” Stated by unknown defensive player. Delovino is also one of the teams leading interception magicians.

Sunga Brothers

On the defensive side I would have to look out for Jonathan Sunga. Sunga with quick hands and good defensive awareness is the league’s leading tackle. He can strip the flag off 40 yards back before the receiver even notices it. If combined with the other Sunga player defensive tackle Joseph Sunga “pancake master” you ain’t getting much yards.

Will the return of Vernon Sackie bring his team to another victory? Sackie one of the strongest arms out in the league can throw bombs down field like he was a terrorist. But don’t think he plants his feet, he’s a mover and a shaker that can cause defenses to crumble with this quickness.

Sam Villenueva

But what about Jonathan Asence? What can he bring to the field this year? From what sources has gathered Asence has been working on his game during the off season. When asked about his return he states “Im ready coach, Pootball is my life. ” Rumors states that he might be using performance enhancement drugs to step up his game but those sources are unconfirmed. Also Samuel Villanueva has been accused of using performance enhancing drugs. This is also an unconfirmed source. Witnesses have stated that Villanueva has gotten freakishly bigger in a short amount of time.

Ferdie Espina

The possibility of Ferdie Espina is also on the table. Espina has ran more yards than thrown the football as starting QB. Will his addition change the game play of the high passing offenses? Unfortunately his football performance is over shadowed by his on the field conduct. Coaches states “He needs to watch his conduct on the field, if he keeps that up he will be punished.” Espina has been charged by league multiple times for un-sportsman like conduct.

Conor Bemis

Lastly the rookie, Conor Bemis has been mentioned to partake on Turkey Bowl. Analyst states that Bemis is a solid all around player with height advantage over 80% of the players in the NPFL®.

When mentioning rookies you can’t forget the veterans like Mark Bryant. With an amazing NPFL® career like Bryant you can expect nothing less than an amazing game.  With diving catches and blazing speeds his performance will go down in history like the 2008 presidential race.

**UPDATE (1:38PM)

SEATTLE WA (AP) UPDATE – Controversy over the alleged drug use of Villanueva has sparked a press conference. When asked about PEHD he commented “I don’t use performance enhancing drugs, BELIVE IT OR DON’T!”

Also the possibility of a back up field has been discussed, sources states that Van Asselt or Maple wood would host the Turkey Bowl if needed. The NPFL commissioners are currently discussing the options if Georgetown is unavailable. It will be a game day decision.
