A judge has cleared the way for Jeremy Mayfield to return to the track this weekend, despite the fact that he may or may not be a methhead.

I’ve never been to a Nascar event, nor do I know what seats are considered good. But, if it were me, I would stay as far away from the track as possible. People on hard drugs probably aren’t the best drivers. And they think spiders are crawling on them all the time.

Sports Illustrated is out with its annual 50 richest athletes list, and just like you, those included are suffering greatly in these tough economic times.

In fact, the average listee earned $1.5 million dollars less this past year than he or she did in 2007.  In fact, the average income was JUST $23.6 mil for the 50 athletes included.

Tiger and Phil are numbers 1 and 2. (Some things never change.) The list includes 22 basketball players, 14 baseball players, nine NFL’ers, three golfers and a pair of Nascar drivers.

Frank Lampard is taking every chance to enjoy himself before the start of the new soccer season in six weeks. By that I mean he is doing what I want to be doing by ogling hot chicks and gambling the night away at the Wynn. The Sun even reports that Frank went on a tear at the tables.

“Soccer ace Frank Lampard has won a whopping £300,000 on holiday in Las Vegas.

The Chelsea star’s luck came in one night of playing roulette and blackjack.

A source joked: “This will pay for his trip.”

Why do these types of things never happen to me? Hopefully tomorrow we can have some of Lamps luck as Toph, Big G, and I put in a quick session at the tables before we cause havoc at the Jersey shore.

While everyone is making a big fuss over Chris Brown getting the boot from his performance at Sunday’s BET Awards, I want to focus on a certain Barbados beauty. Looks like she chose to hang out with a certain NBA player instead of attending the show.

“Rihanna’s absence from the event was just as noticeable as Brown’s. But while her ex fumed, the “Umbrella” singer was busy hanging out with her crush, Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis, in NYC. Says a rep for the beauty, “Rihanna was never meant to attend [the BET awards].”

Some guys just have all the luck. WTF was I doing Sunday? Probably watching “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.”

Apparently Enrique Inglesias’ girlfriend mixed it up with some female partygoers in Sin City over the weekend. As Page Six tells us:

“Anna Kournikova got into a fight Saturday night in Las Vegas after an unidentified woman threw a drink at the tennis ace. Kournikova and her pals were partying at Lavo after attending the Hardbat Classic table tennis tournament when a woman at the next table “threw a drink at Anna. She felt Anna was invading her space,” our source said. Kournikova “sprung into action” and starting screaming at the woman and shoving her. “It was a big fight,” the spy said. The woman was kicked out only after leaving Kournikova with some vicious scratch marks on her neck.”

Girls can be so petty. Although it seems that Anna got the worst of it, one thing I heave learned in life is to not mess with the Russians. They are some ruthless mothertruckers. (Especially when it comes to money)

BTW, hopefully someone caught this on video. I would love to see some hair whipping around.

Blake Griffin and Ricky Rubio decided to celebrate their newfound pro status differently Thursday night. According to Page Six:

“Financier Jonathan Blue, chairman of Best sports agency, took Rubio and other draftees Earl Clark and Jrue Holiday to Buddakan for dinner. “Ricky looked like a CEO himself,” our witness noted. Later, Rubio was spotted at M2 lounge on West 28th Street, where he was “sipping water and chatting with [R&B songstress] Brandy.” But Rubio’s fellow draft pick, Blake Griffin, left the club after bouncers told the 20-year-old he would not be served alcohol.”

Guess being picked number 1 entitles you to a lot of things. Apparently having a few cocktails at a NYC nightclub isn’t one of them.

The baseball press has been all atwitter this season trying to figure out why so many homeruns are being hit at the new Yankee Stadium. Is it the wind? Is it the wall? Is it the steroids? Is it making a mockery of the game?

Meantime, across town,  another new ballpark is changing the way the game is being played, and no one is saying a word. Shea Stadium was a pitcher’s park. Citifield is a National Park.
