Atlanta to Boston: You can take your 16 rings and shove ‘em…
May 5, 2008 at 12:33 pm by Ken Edelstein in NewsThe year before the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in nearly a century, I got to see a game at Fenway Park. Afterward, punkish kids were hawking the coolest T-shirts: “Get yo ‘You can take your 26 rings and shove ‘em up your ass’ T-shirts, right hee. $10.”
I almost bought one — loved the way Red Sox fans were sticking it to the hated Yankees for winning the Series with sickening regularity while the lovable Sox always blew it.
Well, pardon me Celtics fans, but — at least this week — you get me sick in the same way. You can take your 16 NBA trophies and shove ‘em up yo’ ass.
If anybody prints that T-shirt, lemme know. You can sell your “take your 16 NBA trophies and shove ‘em up your ass” T-shirts, right here.

You’ve got nothing to be angry about; your squad played a very cute series.

In Boston, they’re referred to as banners. As a Red Sox fan, I loathed the classless way those “Red Sox Nation” bandwagoneers dismissed the Yankees’ lovely tradition. If it was a way to combat the whole Curse of the Bambino bunk heaped on by the Yankee fans (and aided and abetted by the Boston and national media), it only lowered the Sox fans in the process.
The Hawks will get better, especially now that the GM is gone. By the time they’re contender-ready, the Celtics will be too old by then, titles or no.
