You are not the No. 1 Los Angeles Clippers fan. Shelly Sterling holds that title, officially.
That was just one of the perks that the estranged wife of Donald Sterling received in the $2 billion sale of the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, which was finalized on Tuesday. She actually gets the title of "Clippers Number 1 Fan" along with "Owner Emeritus," according to Arash Markazi of ESPN.com.
Here are some of her other perks:
• Ten tickets in Sections 101 or 111 for all Clippers games in Los Angeles.
• Two courtside tickets for all Clippers games in Los Angeles.
• Six parking spots in Lot C for each game.
• Twelve VIP passes including access to Lexus Club, Arena Club, or Chairman's Lounge and media room or equivalent, for each Staples Game.
• Three championship rings following any Clippers title.
Keeping his swing
Tiger Woods has won 14 majors with three swings -- the original swing he brought to tour under Butch Harmon, the overhaul with Harmon that produced seven majors in 11 starts, and a new swing with Hank Haney that brought six majors and made him the only player in history to win multiple majors in back-to-back seasons.
Don't expect Rory McIlroy to go down that road.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's my motto," McIlroy said after winning the PGA Championship. "I've always been that way. I feel like the work that I've put into my golf swing from the age of 15 to 20 is going to see me throughout my career."
McIlroy hasn't really changed his swing since he was a kid. Nor has he ever changed his coach.
"There's no reason why I should look to try and swing the club differently," he said. "Whether it's to try and get even better or for a new challenge or whatever it is. I've worked with Michael Bannon my whole life, and I'll continue to do so and it works well at the minute. And there's no reason for me to change."

Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, with even worse news after Tiger Woods missed the cut at the PGA Championship: "One, he wound up tied with John Daly. Two, five club pros finished ahead of him."
J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets
New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan said it's possible he might use Michael Vick as a change-of-pace quarterback in place of starter Geno Smith, depending on the situation.
Wrote Reggie Hayes of The News-Sentinel of Fort Wayne, Ind.: "Remember, it's not officially NFL season until Rex Ryan starts a quarterback controversy."
