Neon Tetras: The Scourge of the TRSL


Often confounding rec league basketball team the Neon Tetras are busy preparing for their first TRSL playoff game of the Fall season. Hot off a lazy defeat of Slam Drunk the team is set to face it's most bitter rival, the sociopathic Airballers. (Holy shit I hate them!!!)


In all aspects of the ***team*** game of basketball the Airballers are seemingly better than the Tetras. However, in terms of ***individual skill*** ... well let's just say the Tetras leave the Airballers in the dust. So how is it that the Ballers manage to dismatle the Tetras everytime they play? Simple ... they are dirty cheating bastards that force certain over-emotional players on the Tets to flip their lid and explode, leaving them to stew in guilt for the rest of the game. They step on the toes of the big Tetra forwards, trying ever so hard to force a twisted ankle. They brutally send their female team members at the lovely Tetra ladies with pick axes and boards with nails in them. Yet the league does nothing ... NOTHING!!!

We can only hope that the cries for blood from the audience stay just that and the local heros manage to dethrone the Ballers and make it to the first place game.

Every other day of the week New York is the Mecca of basketball, but Thursdays belong to Eglinton and Mt Pleasant in Toronto. There is no symphony as sweet as Tetra Basketball when it is working.
