Bling Bling Ring Sting Exposes Bowling League Scandal
While championship rings are typically front page stories when they are presented to the League Champion, LACBL bling has once again made headlines – this time for the wrong reasons. Unconfirmed reports began circulating last week that two “lovable losers” in the Bowling League – Joe and Mark Sonka – tried to acquire championship bling through nefarious means.
In an undercover sting operation, LACBL police officers (pictured, above) posing as black market ring counterfeiters, were solicited by the brothers Sonka to produce both LACBL championship rings and forged championship credentials. The Sonka brothers have been placed on probation in the Bowling League. Any subsequent transgressions will result in their swift removal from the league.
In a related story, the results of “Operation Bling Sting” led investigators to pursue other unconfirmed reports in Los Angeles. Although nearly all of the other rumors proved to be unfounded, officials did uncover a second LACBL ring scandal. Over the weekend, an authentic Bowling League Championship Ring was posted for auction on eBay. After the bidding ended, league authorities apprehended both parties in the transaction. The seller, who posted under the clever eBay username of “Mike Bolton,” was identified as Marc Hutchison. In a move that brings back memories of OJ Simpson selling his Heisman Trophy for dinner money, Hutchison apparently was trying to sell his Season 3 ring for a completed dissertation, some younger starting pitching, and a box of Ho-Ho’s. The buyer, purchasing under the username “Four Dingers”, was identified as long-time LACBL non-winner Rich Fording. Following his arrest, Fording was heard screaming “I really can’t even BUY a victory in this league!” No announcement has been made about whether Hutchison or Fording will face disciplinary actions.posted by Jeff Fine | 1:26 AM

This is a case of mistaken identity! The LACBL's crack police unit (or is it a police unit on crack?) got it all wrong.
First off, why would Joe need to buy a Bling Bling Ring knockoff? His team has been in first place all week. With a lineup stacked like Jessica Simpson and a pair of aces in Santana and Zambrano, the Show Dogs appear well on their way to acquiring the genuine article sooner rather than later.
And as for the Gorillas ... haven't they been ahead of a certain Teabags team in the standings all year? The same Teabags that mocked my selection of Rich "NL ERA leader" Hill in the 4th round of the draft? (Hill got absolutely zero run support last night, by the way -- meaning he fits right in with fellow Gorillas Dice-K and Jeremy Bonderman.)
This so-called piece of journalism was a Fine how do you do. I smell a libel suit against Mr. Fine for his defamatory remarks and shoddy reporting. Though I liked the art.
one word:
entrapment
this is a fine example of how the Patriot Act is used to go after political dissidents.
