| The Basketball Court vs JohnFarehamJr | Started by: HeadCoach on May 06, '22 12:57 |
|
The JFMAST locker rooms were situated like an old movie; north by northwest. With the scene set, HeadCoach stuck his whistle - which always hung around his neck - in his mouth and screeched. "Team, we are here today to begin formal disciplinary proceedings against rookie JohnFarehamJr (jersey #22) for conspiracy to commit bad basketball against HeadCoach. His charges include insubordinance, conspiracy to commit murder (a flagrant foul - punishable by ejection from the living realm), and double-dribbling, evidence of which will be brought forward by our key witness RonaldCarabbia, as well as produced via excerpts from his fabulous newspaper article. Basketball court also understands a new complaint has been raised against the defendant by Ladyfighter, who may bring her complaints forward if she so chooses. Mr. FarehamJr, as the defendant and very likely recipient of a guilty verdict, you may take the floor first and plead your case, after which the team will hoot and holler their support or opposition." |

"My defence is simple, HeadCoach. The Fareham lineage attract the jealous, and this hack journalist is the most malignant among them. He is a liar. When I said I'd have to kill you, I obviously meant "kill you with humour" or "kill you with kindness." My father died in the line of duty. Is that worth nothing?" |

FarehamJr, I present to you Exhibit A, an excerpt from "HeadCoach Removes JohnFarehamJr From LHM Position After The Herald Exposes Dark Plans, And Other Dense Stuff Regarding The John_Fareham Memorial All-Star Team" by @RonaldCalabbria:
Are you suggesting this quote has been fabricated by Mr. Calabbria? That is a significant charge to levy against a journalist. |

| His name, of course, being RonaldCarabbia, sorry, sometimes I speak with my whistle in my mouth. | |

"He didn't include the subsequent words: 'And by kill, I mean obviously non-lethal methods'" |

Ronald rolls his eyes as he watches these proceedings, waiting to come forward with film of the interview. |

| RonaldCarabbia, perhaps it is best if you came forward with your testimony at this time. How did you uncover FarehamJr's plans? Was there more left unsaid in your article? Was your investigation into FarehamJr's character in any way influenced by FrizzleFry, who offered insight into his lineage in your piece? | |

"To publish your film would be to break Omerta, and this would never be allowed by @Illuminated. So we have to decide who is more credible. Some 'journalist' or the son of a bona fide war hero?" |

Carabbia hands the film over to the Coach, then says, "Nothing involved happened in my family's HQ." |

I've really nothing to say here. There's $200,000 worth of my opinions of the man in RonaldCarabbia's newspaper (payment pending). Feel free to enter the article as evidence in lieu of any testimony from me. |

Conqueeftador looks at FrizzleFry and Protector "So when do we hoot and holler? I can't follow any of this legal mumbo jumbo. They are making my head spin faster than a ball on HeadCoach's fingers." Conqueeftador sighs and pulls out his trusty basketball and holds it tightly. |

My father made some mistakes. And he is dead. He taught me, John Fareham Kuku, not to make these mistakes. I ask only for a chance to prove myself. |

While I am bitterly disappointed the hooting and hollering process has been skipped, FarehamJr was found guilty of his crimes and sent to the great minor leagues in the sky. May he rest in peace. As a team named in memory of a man who was not afforded second chances, and who was unjustly killed by the crewleader Constipated for something he did not even say, it would be hypocritical of us not to offer one ourselves. Welcome into the fold, JFK_Jr. Skidmark, get this rookie into some team gear. He's looking a bit round about the waist, so you might need to repurpose a couple of Grin-22's shorts from our Seriously Stocky Boys collection. |

Skidmark takes JFK_Jr. by the hand and leads him into the laundry room, where Towel Boy Grin-22 was busy washing the stains out of the team's undergarments after a late night Cinco De Mayo celebration... "These should work for the time being..." ...tosses a pair of oversized gym shorts at JFK, which have the word "Clause" stitched into the waistband... "We'll get you a fresh pair as soon as Towel Boy is done doing the laundry. Now we need to get you in shape. Practice starts in one hour. Let's do a few laps around the gym to get you warmed up!" |

I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed. Perhaps more than a little disappointed, even. I was lured to this team with the talk of being the chief scout and identifying the next generation of top talent and maybe balling a little bit on the side, as required. Then the second my back is turned, I'm having my jersey stripped from me and given to a guy who was trying to take over the team, albeit by non-lethal means. Bad faith dealings, there's a story for your @RonaldCorabbia. Very disappointed, I'd say. |

And yeah, I have a bit of a stutter sometimes and I pronounce people's names wrong. So what? Nobody is perfect, least of all me. Way to make me feel bad. I was of course trying to tip @RonaldCarrabia off about a potential story. $50,000 would be nice too, I won't lie. |
