Photos From the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show - Part 1

The curtain has come down on the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show and quite a shot it was.

Over 42,000 attendees, 1000 exhibitors and many celebrities in attendance.

A great show you need to see to believe.  From Wednesday's Demo Day to the next hree days on the convention floor, it's golf overload. 

Here's a few pictures from the spectacle.

Australian Open Day 14: Match of the Day

The men's finals featuring Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

This is the 30th meeting between these two.

The stats show that Djokovic has not lost to Nadal since the end od 2011 at the ATP Finals.

They played last year at Wimbledon, they played last year at the U.S. Open.  All won by Djokovic.

I see Djokovic winning again in this one.

He wins the big points and raises his games at the right moments.  Nadal has had an extra day's rest, but the way the courts are playing and the way the tennis has gone.  Look for Djokovic to win in 4 tough sets.

Roof Collapses at Hockey Rink

In Slovakia, the roof on an ice hockey rink collapsed in dramatic fashion as several players, including former NHL star Richard Zednik, escape the deadly accident.

The rink is a year old, having been constructed in November 2010. The cause of the collapse was reportedly due to too much snow and ice accumulating on the rink's roof.

Thankfully, the AP's John Belmont reports that no one was hurt in the collapse.

I expect another close one, how about Djokovic in 5 sets.
