TV Jockstrap is about as simple a product as it gets. It’s a two-inch elastic strap that wraps around the top or bottom of a TV screen to hide tickers that show other scores and results during a game. So if someone likes to record games and watch them later, TV spoilers are a thing of the past.

The TV Jockstrap

Made of soft woven elastic, and easily adjusts to different size television screens. No hard surfaces or adhesives means you won't risk damaging your television. Adjustable elastic stretches to fit up to 75-inch screens!

Madison Keys, Rhyne Williams Win Australian Open Wildcards

Fun weekend of pretty good tennis in Norcross, as Madison Keys repeats, and former Tennessee player Rhyne Williams wins his first Australian Open wildcard.

Keys defeated Mallory Burdette and Williams beat Tim Smyczek.

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.
