Joe Torre is back home in New York tonight. His best in baseball LA Dodgers kick off a series against the Mets at Citifield. He’s been at the epicenter of most baseball controversies over the last few months, from his own book to Arod to Manny.  So, what’s up Joe?

Peter Crouch is enjoying his time off before the EPL season starts up in a couple weeks by taking his longtime girlfriend, Abby Clancy on an exotic holiday.

BTW, you won’t find the lanky strikers in any of these photos. You cna thank me later.

It looks like the courtship of Lebron James by Jay-Z is ongoing. This time the two heavyweights in their respective occupations spent a great deal of time together in Las Vegas.

It seems early on Friday “Hova”, “downed tequila shots with NBA pals LeBron James and Amare Stoudemire at Lavo in Las Vegas and kept a protective eye on his protégé, Rihanna.”

Great that Stat came along to play, but what I would rather have “witnessed” would be what happened later on in the evening.

“Rihanna, in a rare public appearance since her beating by then-boyfriend Chris Brown, seen dancing throughout Jay-Z’s concert Friday at The Pearl (Palms). NBA superstar LeBron James went on stage late in the show and sang along.”

And by that I meant Riri’s dancing. I could care less about LBJ rhyming along to the beat.

In just a great match that had an astounding 30 games in the 5th set, Roger Federer broke Andy Roddick’s serve to win his 15th major title. And in doing so allowed Nike to put together an ad of their greatest champions honoring this accomplishment.

The two biggest sporting events we’re looking forward to tomorrow are the first stage of the Tour de France and the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest (unless you consider a William’s sisters Wimbledon final a noteworthy event).

What better soundtrack to this day of American independence, endurance cycling, competitive eating, and Serena’s big booty dominating in London than Queen’s 1978 classics: Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls. If you’ve been afraid to publicly profess your love of Queen for fear of your friends questioning your sexuality, tomorrow is your day to bump some classic Freddy Mercury. It’s perfect for a bbq, listening to in the car on your road trip, or whatever it is you’ll be doing this 4th of July.

Fresh off his hook up with Paris Hilton, Cristiano Ronaldo returned back to Portugal to spend time with his family. As they were headed out something fairly intriguing happened as a young “fan” was sitting in a car waiting for the Real Madrid star. The Daily Mail reports:

“Ronaldo was heading to an Elton John concert in the Portuguese capital with his mum Dolores Aveiro, 54, sisters Elma and Catia, and a group of friends.

The star claims the girl was with a photographer who had been stalking him, ‘standing for days on end in front of my house, eating yogurt and waiting for anything newsworthy to happen.’

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.
