A sparsely attended 2024 Turkey Bowl saw Zach Greene in outstanding form to QB his team to a 5-3 victory over T-Bone's team. The Spoede School venue was initially in question though the millions of dollars in renovations did not include a locked gate and still allowed for the annual tradition to play on in the back field, where the sod has now taken hold.

 

New rules were put in effect to prevent injuries as this generation has now advanced to the stage of winning isn't everything. A 7 count pass rush with no blitzing or QB runs were clearly designed to neutralize last year's MVP Ben, though Ben played a great game as receiver and defender. Scoring was quick early on but an interception by Brian Manchisi resulted in Zach's team gaining the advantage. Brian also caught three touchdown passes and played solid defense to win this year's MVP. Zach Greene threw for 5 touchdown passes in a feat reminiscent of his father's 5  TD passes exactly 20 years ago on a snowy field that to this day sparks debate about the MVP of the 2004 classic.  Ben and Mikey also had touchdown catches and Zach's game was almost perfect except for an interception late in the game.

 

T-Bone's team never kept the momentum after the initial series though Andrew had a strong game for the losing team. Ross struggled but gained a lot of respect for clearing the injured reserve list multiple times during the game :).

 

The elder statesman , Tom Greene, set a Turkey Bowl record for notching a win at 65 years old - the first Medicare recipient to record a Turkey Bowl win in the history of the event.

​

It looks like young T-Bones potentially record setting 10th Turkey Bowl win will have to wait another year ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​as he and Brian Manchisi now have 9 wins and will be going for their 10th in 2025.

​

NOTE: The Turkey Bowl Standings have been updated to include ACTIVE PLAYERS who have played in at least 3 games. Note that Chris is 2-0 with 1 MVP and could be at the top of the standings with a win in 2024.
