NBA FINALS: Doc Rivers’ Celtics beat the Lakers in Game 6 of the Finals, demolishing L.A. by five more points than they demolished Atlanta in that first-round Game 7.

DROPPING OUT LIKE IT’S HOT: In Georgia, where the graduation rate is 12 percentage points below the national average, class of 2008 dropouts will cost the state economy about $15.5 billion during their lifetimes.

GOLDEN RETRIEVEE: A Gainesville family’s golden retriever is returned to them after going missing five years ago, when they lived in Powder Springs.

A ROUNDABOUT SOLUTION: Roundabouts like the one at North Decatur and Lullwater keep traffic moving at busy intersections, resulting in less wasted gas from idling and saving drivers time.

The 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.
