Who doesn’t love watching some one get knocked out? Welcome Sports Fans to the Turkey Shoot, My name is Rex Manchild and I am your road correspondent, following all the action as it happens, for your next Favourite Blood Bowl team...
The Knoxville Turkeys!
For round 4, the Turks were up against the Goblin team Hard Out Mad Dudez which offered a mixed bag of predictions. The Goblins were sitting on top on the Casualty board for beatings dealt, and had thrown six lethal hits in only three games. Many had predicted that the Mad Dudes would run riot over Knoxville and that the ball would be only a distraction for the game. On top of that, the Mad Dudes were determined to show that the Turkeys don’t hold the patent on dirty play and had promised to out foul their opposition at all costs.
A mere five thousand fans turned up to see Knoxville play, as the fans still refuse to exit the Underworld to watch a game... The Turkeys trend for small crowds is unusual and many suspect that the round 2 draw against the BloodBunnies is to blame. The Turks won the toss and the Goblins set up for a kick. It was about then that all hell broke lose!
In a whirlwind of violence, the Turkeys set upon the Goblins with a ferocity I have never witnessed. The Turkeys were worried about getting burned by the Dudes... So they fought fire with fire. First up, the two Knoxville Blitzers knocked out two Goblins, then ‘Dirty’ Lloyd Craventhrew down a third, stunning him. LBJ called in a assist and injured the Fanatic Jimmy Nail. Leaving Jupiter Spitvalve to blitz the much feared chainsaw wielding Looney John Cutter, and in turned Knocked him out as well. Not to be out done, Mogg, Son of Gomm fouled the downed goblin off the pitch as well. In a matter of seconds the Goblins almost lost half of their team from the green!
Coach Deano was completely stunned! He desperately called a blitz from Mad dude on the ball carrying Rog Gobshire and the troll stunned him, but the Turkeys weren’t done... Loony Bin Jim knocked out Mad Dude and the rest of the Turks barged the Troll Hard Out off the pitch, where he was knocked out! Jupiter Spitvalve easily walked in a second turn TD and the goblin bribes needed to be spent already. With just a handful of Goblins to take the pitch, the damage done was too much to overcome... there were simply no players left to slow the Turkeys’ unstoppable onslaught.
Another quick TD was scored and the Turkeys found themselves ahead 2-0. The Trolls were back with Fungus The Loon himself as back up, but they couldn’t like up the Turkeys. LBJ knocked out Fungus, The Jupe fouled out a troll and Stan Shenanigans scored a Knoxville third.
When the two teams lined up for the second half, the Gobllins started to throw up a better fight, but they couldn’t get the ball past the Line of Scrimmage. They spoiled many Knoxville attempts to get the ball over the line, but Stan Shenanigans demanded that he be the one to score the fourth and being the team show pony he did just that.
All said and done, coach Deano was seen crying as the Turkeys left the stadium. He was seen after the game kicking rocks mumbling things... totally humbled and more than a little disgusted. He felt that his presence wasn’t really required and his team was never given an opportunity to play the game. Like it was all over before it started.
From this reporter’s observations, Deano was right!
