Jeff Foxworthy and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour are set to make their way to the TD Garden in Boston on January 29th at 8:00 PM. Before heading east the hilarious veteran comedians will be performing a string of shows at the Mystere Theatre in Las Vegas from December 3rd to the 11th. The MGM Grand at Foxwoods will also welcome the group on Saturday, December 12th.

The Blue Collar Comedy Tour has successfully been running since January of 2000, when Jeff Foxworthy and his three comedian friends Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy started touring together. The Grammy Award-winning Foxworthy is one of the leading contributors in making the “redneck blue collar” sort of humor popular in American culture today.

In 2003 the guys released their first film appropriately titled “Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie.” Following the success of their first tour video, the crew developed more fresh material for two more in 2004 and 2006. Expect newcomers Reno Collier, Juston McKinney, Jamie Kaler and John Caparulo to make some appearances with the old timers this time around. Engvall recently took the rookies out on his 2009 solo tour with hopes to make them “the next generation of Blue Collar Comedy Comedians.”

The Boston Celtics avoided their third consecutive loss yesterday against the Golden State Warriors, controlling the tempo each quarter at the TD Garden to eventually take the game 109-95. Rajon Rondo produced quite the statline, scoring 18 points with 12 assists and 7 rebounds. He definitely changed the momentum for the C’s with 12 points during their big run in the third quarter.

“He was terrific in the second half,” said Boston coach Doc Rivers of Rondo. “He came out in the third quarter and played with unbelievable speed and energy.” Former Celtics forward/center and new found Warrior Mikki Moore had some promising words for his old teammate, saying “That might be the only player in the league who can average a triple-double for a season.”

Kevin Garnett netted 12 points for Boston that included a thrilling quarterback pass drained from the other 3-point line to end the half. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kendrick Perkins all showed up to play scoring 19, 15 and 15. Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 23 points and eight rebounds. The Celtics are next set to host the defending Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic Friday, November 20th. Orlando is 9-3 so far this season and coming off a strong 108-94 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Kansas City Royals are expected to host the 2012 MLB All-Star game at Kauffman Stadium. The official announcement will come as early as next month’s winter meetings according to MLB sources. The Boston Red Sox were campaigning to have the events at Fenway as part of the Parks 100th anniversary celebration.

Rob Neyer from ESPN.com weighed in with his opinions, saying “In 2012 it will have been only 13 years since the last time the Red Sox hosted the All-Star Game, while it will have been nearly 40 years for Kansas City…Red Sox fans might argue that Kansas City doesn’t “deserve” an All-Star Game, that the All-Star Game should by hosted by cities full of passionate fans. I’ve got some sympathy for that opinion.”

Kauffman Stadium played host to its only other All-Star Game in 1973 when it was still referred to as Royals Stadium. Even though the Sox didn’t get the bid for 2012, there are still plenty of events to look forward to at Fenway. Don’t miss the Bruins Flyers Winter Classic showdown New Years Day, followed by the Legends Game the very next day. On January 8th Hockey East collegiate programs will get to face off on the Fenway ice. 2010 Boston Red Sox spring training and regular season tickets are available now!

Matt Moulson set the tone early for his squad, scoring the initial goal six minutes into the first period as the New York Islanders went on to defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 last night at the TD Garden. Daniel Paille found the net for the B’s in the second before Moulson decided to tack another on the board.  From there the Islanders shut down the Boston attack for the rest of the game. Trent Hunter added the fourth goal with less than a minute to go when the Bruins pulled their goalie for the extra skater.

The Bruins have now let up ten goals in their last two contests. “Those little details that meant so much to us being successful aren’t consistent right now,” said Bruins coach Claude Julien. “There’s not that confidence or determination we need to be successful. Right now we have to have our best players playing their best if we’re going to turn it around.”

Hopefully Boston can turn things around against the Atlanta Thrashers Thursday night. After heading to Atlanta they’ll travel north to square off against the Buffalo Sabres. Boston Bruins tickets are now available!
