Alyse Lahti Johnston Should Prepare For Questions About Boyfriend Tiger Woods

I am sure she weighed the pros and cons before heading into this thing. There is no way she is not prepared for what is in store. Right?

I am of course talking about Alyse Lahti Johnston. She would be the new girlfriend of golf legend Tiger Woods. She is also about to undergo the scrutiny of the American media.

They will be at her house, her gym and work. They will follow her everywhere. That is what paparazzi do. They badger you until they get bored, or you do something to cause another headline. I hope she is prepared.

The media blitz that has been the focal point of Tiger Woods life is about to spill over onto this young 22-year old woman. Dating Tiger Woods is not like dating another man. You are taking on a logo, a franchise and a scandal.

They will want to know how she feels about his affairs. There will be questions about their relationship. She might even be asked inane questions about Tiger's swing.


There is no hiding from it. It is best to come out and embrace every last second of it. You will either look good or bad in the spotlight. There is no running from it though. Tiger Woods would do well to help matters.

He does not owe a disclosure to the media about this relationship. However, it will go a long way to helping his transition. It would also take the heat of Johnston who is sure to be asked questions that Tiger just won't answer.

Ah, I miss the days when the biggest story in golf was how good Tiger Woods was. We have fallen a long ways haven't we?

Tiger Woods launches app

Tiger Woods launches app

He's definitely got swing: Tiger Woods launches $9.99 iPhone app to help amateur golfers improve their game
He may have dropped to fifth in the world, but he still knows a thing or two about a golf swing.

And now amateur players can access Tiger Woods's expertise straight from the course with a new iPhone app.

The former world number one has launched an application called Tiger Woods: My Swing to give fans mobile lessons in his game.

The $9.99 app, released today, uses video technology to allow players to compare their swing to Woods's.

But it is not yet clear which version of his famed technique they'll see, as Woods is going through his fourth swing change since he turned professional 15 years ago.

He will donate all proceeds from the application to the Tiger Woods Foundation, which promotes youth education.

Woods will act as a virtual teacher on the new app, which is available for the iPhone and the iPod touch from the iTunes store.


Golfers can use the app to record a video of their swing, then analyse it side by side with his.

Woods said he uses the same video technology to improve his game by seeing how his swing changes.

Users will be able to upload their videos to the internet so they can compare swings with their friends and analyse their progress over time.

Woods said: 'Everything about this app is based on how I practise. I've rebuilt my swing a number of times over the years and use this technology to gauge my development and help with my swing transitions.

'I'm excited that through this app I can take this technology on the road with me and that golfers around the world can now do the same to improve their game.'

The app also includes personalised videos from Woods, which answer questions from fans.

He said: 'I'm thrilled that in addition to providing fans with a fun way to analyse their golf game, this app will benefit the college access programs of my Foundation.

'From the funds raised we can continue to give many more young people a shot at college.'

The Top 10 Most Popular Athletes on Twitter

The Top 10 Most Popular Athletes on Twitter

The biggest athlete in professional sports is also the biggest athlete on Twitter.

NBA star Shaquille O'Neal has the most followers of any athlete on the social media site, with over 3.5 million users reading his tweets. Brazilian soccer star Kaka is second on the list, more than 500,000 followers behind.

Though athletic success is a good yardstick in determining which men and women have the most followers, it's not as reliable an indicator as you'd think. For instance, Tiger Woods isn't in the top 10 but Chad Ochocinco is. (Tiger actually has fewer followers than fellow golfers Stewart Cink and Ian Poulter.) LeBron James cracks the list but comes in behind Reggie Bush. And of all the baseball players with accounts, one-time All-Star Nick Swisher is the most popular. (It doesn't hurt that he's on the New York Yankees.)

Here's the list of the top-10 athletes on Twitter, along with a sample tweet and a summary of their favorite subjects:
1. Shaquille O'Neal -- @THE_REAL_SHAQ -- 3,564,335 followers -- 51 tweets (in the month of February)

2. Kaka -- @kaka -- 2,934,112 followers -- 57 tweets

3. Serena Williams -- @serenawilliams -- 1,931,286 followers -- 412 tweets

4. Cristiano Ronaldo -- @Cristiano -- 1,914,172 followers -- 88 tweets

5. Dwight Howard -- @DwightHoward -- 1,874,255 followers -- 22 tweets

6. Paul Pierce -- @paulpierce34 -- 1,745,039 followers -- 69 tweets

7. Chad Ochocinco -- @ochocinco -- 1,741,178 followers -- 630 tweets

8. Reggie Bush -- @reggie_bush -- 1,555,080 followers -- 61 tweets

9. LeBron James -- @kingjames -- 1,492,952 followers -- 46 tweets

10. Nick Swisher -- @nickswisher -- 1,273,939 followers -- 64 tweets

NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2011: Blake Griffin's User Submitted Dunk

NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2011: Event Info, Dunk Highlights, and More
This year, in a further attempt to get the fans to be an even bigger part of the dunk contest, ESPN started an initiative asking fans to videotape their own dunks for Blake Griffin to try.
The dunk that he seemed to like the most was the second to last dunk in the video above, which is a slick looking behind-the-back-360. Pretty simple right.
Blake definitely has the hops to get up in the air long enough to do something like that, but he hasn't really demonstrated the amount of body and ball control that may be needed to pull that one off. If he can do it, it will be quite impressive.
I'm looking forward to the user dunk that he tries, whether it is the one he chose in the video or something else, and I would like to see this trend of user-submitted dunks continue, but get all four contestants involved, and have each of them try one.
