Well! Seems there were a few boos tonight when, before casting its votes in Denver, the leader of the Massachusetts delegation included the Red Sox and Celtics in the traditional list of things that make this Great State such a Great State. That's just fine with Beth:

... I don't know what I love more - that it's so perfectly, exquisitely Massholish or that the delegation from the great state of Mass actually incited boos during the formal nomination process for President of the United States.

He's a bit late to the game, but Kevin Cullen today writes what Dan Kennedy calls a first-rate column on the guy who died after being detained by police during the post-Celtics-win crackdown.

Yes, that's the Celtics trophy. Bontz explains how he and a friend got into the Celtics draft party after upgrading their Bruins tickets at the Garden.

Boston Police report that David Woodman, 22, of Southwick, died today at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 11 days after he collapsed while being arrested on Brookline Avenue in the Fenway following the Celtics win:

Officers observed an individual, crossing the street with a group of four others, drinking from an open container of what was believed to be alcohol. Officers attempted to conduct a threshold inquiry when the suspect attempted to flee. He was soon subdued by officers. The suspect began struggling with the officers as they attempted to handcuff him.

At that time, officers realized that he was in medical distress; they immediately began to administer CPR and summonsed EMS to that location. An ambulance arrived on scene and took over emergency CPR. He was rushed to Beth Israel Medical Center.

The Suffolk County DA's office, Boston Police homicide unit and Boston Police internal-affairs unit are all investigating. Autopsy results are pending.

The Herald had previously reported that Woodman had a pre-existing cardiac condition.

To repair all the damage done to its offices by rampaging drunks after last week's Celtics win, Lori Magno reports.

Kendrick Perkins at the RMV:

... All I could think of is how miserable he looked. I mean the guy just won the NBA championship and were does he end up the following Monday? At the RMV renewing his license. What a total bummer. What ever happened to that "I'm going to Disneyworld" thing. I've never seen a commercial that showed a sports star saying "I'm going to the RMV to renew my license." ...

Glen Davis had promised kids at a Mattapan middle school he'd visit and even after the championship, he did.

Boston Police post the honor roll: 22 people arrested - 13 from out of town. West Roxbury represented, though - four local lads got a close-up look at BPD prisoner processing procedures.

Offenses ranged from getting into fights to attempting to beat up a cop to being in possession of pot while resisting arrest for getting into a fight. Most were under 24 (the youngest a 15-year-old tyke from Dedham), although a 50-year-old guy from Dorchester was arrested on a pickpocketing charge.

Jay Fitzgerald is watching the parade on TV, reports it's hard to make out the players, because the Duck Boats are too packed with non-players.
