--Hug a social worker today. If you've ever wondered why the Department of Social Services couldn't stop an act of violence from happening, read this eye-opening article on just how hard it is to be a social worker.

Dan at Red Sox Monster, one of Bostonist's favorite blogs, sent us an alert of two Boston sportscasters, Gary Tanguay and Greg Dickerson, and the Herald's Michael Felger completely freaking out: Bostonist loves the shoulder movements that accompany Greg Dickerson's rage. On the bright side, at least these guys seem aware of their foibles. YouTube video posted by BostonSportsChico100.......

When an athlete gets famous, his or her image will be slapped on everything in sight. Remember Kobe Bryant's pre-scandal days when he was on jars of Nutella? Well, Red Sox Monster and BevNET are reporting that Kevin Youkilis has signed up to market a new energy drink entitled--ahem--"SlumpBuster." BevNET euphemistically stated that "SlumpBuster" was a "term widely recognized by athletes and fans." Indeed. According to the Urban Dictionary, a "SlumpBuster" is A promiscuous and/or......
