Things looked good when Green Bay won the toss, but only moments later their season was over after an Aaron Rodgers fumble that Karlos Dansby returned 17 yards for the game winning score.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Green Bay Packers entered the NFL playoffs as one of the league&#8217;s hottest teams, and mounted a 21 point second half comeback to force overtime against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Things looked good when Green Bay won the toss, but only moments later their season was over after an Aaron Rodgers fumble that Karlos Dansby returned 17 yards for the game winning score. It was a strange ending to a classic offensive display, resulting in a 51-45 victory for the defending NFC Champions in the highest scoring NFL playoff game in history.</p>
<p>Arizona sent much of the NFL football betting public home unhappy as well with their 6 point outright victory. The Cardinals had opened as -2&#8242; home favorites but public sentiment favoring Green Bay had moved the line so significantly that Arizona was a +2&#8242; home underdog by kickoff. With the victory, the Cardinals improved to 5-4 both SU and against the NFL pointspread at home this season. Obviously, the 96 points the two teams put on the board went well OVER the posted total of 48&#8242;.</p>
<p>Cardinals&#8217; quarterback Kurt Warner improved his postseason record to 9-3 SU with one of the most impressive performances in league history. Warner finished with 379 yards passing and 5 touchdowns with no interceptions. Amazingly, Warner had more TD passes (5) than incomplete passes (4). After the game, he reflected on his performance:</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew how tough it was going to be on our defense with all the weapons they have offensively and how they&#8217;ve been playing. It was just one of those games where I felt great. I loved our playing. I felt like I was seeing everything well and it accumulates to 51 points.&#8221;</p>
<p>Packers&#8217; QB Aaron Rodgers might be remembered more for the game ending fumble than his own impressive performance, but he matched Warner play for play in what will certainly go down as one of the best quarterback duels in NFL playoff history. Not surprisingly, the entire Packers&#8217; team along with head coach Mike McCarthy took the loss hard:</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s clearly one of the toughest losses I&#8217;ve been a part of. I&#8217;m very proud of our football team and fight. This is a hard game to swallow.&#8221;</p>
<p>Quarterback Rodgers was in no mood to reflect on his excellent numbers, but was instead focused on reliving the decisive final play:</p>
<p>&#8220;I was trying to unload it. I should have held on to the ball. I was looking at the front side for Driv [Donald Driver]. It looked like he was getting grabbed a bit. Then I was looking for James [Jones] and they were driving in on him as he was running a little in cut, so I kind of pulled the ball back and someone hit my arm.&#8221;</p>
<p>Arizona will head to New Orleans to face the Saints at the Superdome next Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals are a +7 road underdog with the total set at 57. Oddly, Arizona posted better numbers on the road this season than at home, finishing 6-2 SU/4-3-1 ATS. The two teams haven&#8217;t met since 2007, a game won by the Saints 31-24 on their home field.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking at the book The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers and are feeling a little overwhelmed by how thick it is, you are not alone. Many people who have read The Hobbit and The Fellowship of The Rings have found that some portions are hard to get through. However, as it links together the first and third books, it is important for you to read since it answers many questions and provides information you need to make the third book, The Return of the King, make sense.</p>
<p>You will find that the book tends to be a study in contrasts. There are some portions that are filled with action, suspense and intrigue. There are also sections which focus more on the environment that the characters are traveling through and which tend to be a bit slower paced.</p>
<p>The 2002 screen adaptation of the book tends to make these slower portions more interesting. This is because you are able to see the landscape and it makes it feel more real and immediate than reading it may. Text can be hard to follow for some people but the visuals developed by Peter Jackson and his crew tend to reach out and draw you in more completely than you might ever imagine. The movie uses extensive make-up, elaborate sets and computer generated imagery to make the sensation of being in Middle Earth complete. Even people who have read the book will find they experience scenes such as the siege at Helm&#8217;s Deep more deeply and will truly feel that they are in King Theoden&#8217;s hall as Gandalf faces down Grima Wormtongue in order to free the Rohirrim from tyranny.</p>
<p>Because the focus in on action and not description, it is harder to ignore the references to the two towers. The first is that of Sauron himself, deep in the heart and darkness of Mordor. The second is that of the wizard Saruman who has fallen under Sauron&#8217;s control. You see the extent of Saruman&#8217;s treachery which is first mentioned in the Fellowship of the Ring.</p>
<p>Finally, the story works well as a movie because it is easier to follow the travels of the different parts of the Fellowship. In the book, the companions split up at the end of the first movie. Boromir betrays the Fellowship by attempting to take the ring from Frodo by force. You understand why he does so after you meet the people of Gondor, including Boromir&#8217;s brother Faramir and the corrupt and deranged Steward who has cracked under the pressure of living next to Mordor.</p>
<p>This story allows us to find out more about the main characters and the reasons that they behave the way they do. We learn more about Aragorn and are introduced to characters such as Eowyn, one of the Rohirrim who plays a pivotal role in the third book. We learn more about why Boromir would be so desperate to possess the ring that he would have taken it from Frodo by force.</p>
<p>If you are someone who loves action, this book is filled with some of the most incredible scenes of any in fantasy literature. The main battle is that of Helm&#8217;s Deep, where humans hole up and are besieged by Orcs, Goblins and Uruk-hai.</p>
<p>If you are someone who tried to read the book and were unable to get through it, you need to see this movie. The special effects, scenery and pacing are excellent and make it definitely worth watching.</p>
<p>And after a while, those same songs find a way of growing onto you. <a href="http://www.moviedownloadsites.net">Watch Movies On Internet</a> SR: So from High Voltage on its always been the SG. They are offering ready formatted PSP music, videos and games all immediately downloadable.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen Fight Club yet? Most everyone has, but a few viewers have actually somehow managed to miss this movie. Of course, it wasn't just a movie, it was also something of a cultural event. Love it or hate it, you have to respect that it was one of the most influential films of the last twenty years, at least deserving as much respect as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction or Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. It was the movie that ended the nineties as those two movies began the era, and certainly one of the must download movies of the decade.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you seen Fight Club yet? Most everyone has, but a few viewers have actually somehow managed to miss this movie. Of course, it wasn&#8217;t just a movie, it was also something of a cultural event. Love it or hate it, you have to respect that it was one of the most influential films of the last twenty years, at least deserving as much respect as Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s Pulp Fiction or Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Goodfellas. It was the movie that ended the nineties as those two movies began the era, and certainly one of the must download movies of the decade.</p>
<p>The movie follows Ed Norton as an unnamed narrator who serves as our lead character. He&#8217;s a white collar office worker dissatisfied with his lot in life, and the movie draws a lot of comparisons to Office Space which came out around the same time. The two films are very different, however. They use much of the same subject matter, but Fight Club is much darker, much more brooding, while at the same time&#8230; Just as funny, albeit in a darker, more sarcastic sort of way.</p>
<p>The narrator meets Tyler Durden, and the rest is history. Durden is a character who is completely free of the boundaries of society placed on most people. You know Kramer, from Seinfeld? He&#8217;s kind of like that. Just, imagine how dangerous, frightening, and at the same time, inspiring, Kramer would be if you took him out of the sitcom setting and put him into a world where his actions could result in serious consequences.</p>
<p>Tyler is really the heart of the film, forming the Fight Club alongside the narrator. The Fight Club begins innocently enough as a bare knuckle get together where white collar guys get together and beat each other up for the fun of it and to reaffirm their manhood in a society that has sissified them and turned them into cowardly cubicle slaves rather than raw, testosterone driven animals.</p>
<p>Once they start robbing banks and trying to take over the world, you see that the Fight Club is an expression of rage, that impotent rage that all men feel in a society that has castrated them in a symbolic way. The movie is outlandish and surreal, but this part isn&#8217;t. That anger is very real, and it seems entirely realistic that, given the right catalyst, men really could just go crazy and start blowing things up for no good reason (heck some guys already do it).</p>
<p>The way it ties everything up is fascinating and was, at the time, an incredible and unpredictable plot twist. Since, it&#8217;s become sort of cliche. This movie and the Sixth Sense both created their own style of &#8220;surprise endings&#8221;, and created trends that would eventually get a little tired but which, at the time, were exciting and interesting.</p>
<p>Norton quickly skyrocketed in fame with this movie, proving that he could take some really exciting projects and make the most of them. Since, his career has had a lot of ups and downs, with a cool, edgy flick one year, and some weak box office bait the next. This is one of his best, though, and the same goes for Brad Pitt.</p>
<p>The movie is incredibly violent, it&#8217;s very surreal. Outside of the violence, some of the details involving the making of soap are disgusting. The movie uses these shock tactics to really get under your skin and make a statement about humanity and the nature of shock, and in the end, it has more questions than it does answers, like any honest film.</p>
<p>When you download movies online, you can send an email to your friends and family to share the link you have used. <a href="http://downloadsmoviefree.com">Films Download</a> Thunder Heart is a great movie loosely based on true events on an Indian reservation that stars Val Kilmer. I love being able to watch any episode of any popular TV show online whenever I want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Armed forces watches, as their name implies, were designed for the armed forces. The first military watches were naval pieces, chronometers that worked OK for their purposes, but as other branches of the army &#8211; aviation especially &#8211; made major technical advances round the time of the second World War, accurate measurement of the seconds became crucial.</p>
<p>As the old chestnut goes, &#8216;necessity is the mother of invention,&#8217; and Navigator ( often called &#8216;Pilot&#8217; ) watches were born. In the Navigator watch design, the seconds bezel permitted the pilot to synchronize the second hand with a correct reference time before takeoff, and to make manual corrections to radio time signals while in flight, thus dumping any &#8216;chronometer error&#8217; and the navigational blunders that would result.</p>
<p>During World War I seconds continued to be crucial in both military technology and military watches. The feature that authorized for synchronization between 2 timepieces &#8211; continued to enhance and advance. These watches were worn on the exterior of a flight jacket or on the navigator&#8217;s thigh.</p>
<p>The Germans also added antimagnetic protection to their chronometers. Within another major Axis power, Seiko produced an amazing number of armed forces watches for the Japanese Imperial armed forces and Navy. These watches averaged around 49mm in diameter.</p>
<p>As the times of WWII faded into memory and the strained peace of the &#8216;Cold War&#8217; became fact, armed forces budgets and army technology boomed. Watchmakers rose to the call by planning an instrument deserving of going into battle with humankind&#8217;s strongest weapon. Those were the wonderful times of the division watch, though no one design house can claim full credit for the steps made in that time.</p>
<p>Cold War-era army watches were much bigger than the everyday US consumer navigators before them. Averaging 36mm in diameter, the making of these watches was moved to Switzerland and the Swiss army watch companies who came to the task with centuries&#8217; old reputations for precision.</p>
<p>Like those before them, these Navigators also featured a matte black dial marked with white Arabic numbers 1-12, and with white indices. The new designs did not have white numbers at cardinal three, 6, 9, and 12. Another new addition was a shatterproof Perspex acrylic crystal, which protected its large twelve ligne movement from magnetic fields.</p>
<p>These hand-wound watches were planned to be water-resistant to 20 feet, including water-resistance under low pressure at operational altitudes, and added a naval dimension to the regular military watch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Differing opinions exist about the need for using registry cleaners to boost the performance of computers. While some reviews state they are a necessary program for optimizing performance and speedy startup, others state that they do more damage than good. These naysayers state that they are not just unnecessary, but can cause more harm than good.</p>
<p>What a registry cleaner does is scan the computer registry for invalid or corrupt files and unused or outdated drivers, look for missing file associations and remove any problems it encounters. In theory, you will have a quicker loading computer, with programs running faster and smoother. Is this really true, and can these types of programs fulfill their promises? Do they do all this automatically, or do they give you the option of choosing the right actions?</p>
<p>With one reviewer even calling registry cleaners &#8217;snake oil, &#8216; one has to wonder about using them. There are some experts who insist that using a cleaner is dangerous. Because it can isolate or remove files that are actually needed to run the operating system or programs, it can cause crashes or program malfunctions. The best result they can foresee is the possible gain of a bit of space, and perhaps a little quicker start up. However, the possible disk space gain is quite irrelevant with the huge disk space on our modern computers.</p>
<p>It is possible that the free trials of cleaners give ambiguous information about registry errors, in hopes you will buy the program. Once installed and run, you may find that your computer is faster, and loads better. However, alternatively, you just may find that it has removed some necessary registry entries and you have lost or impaired functionality. Running the program will probably not speed up your computer noticeably, and you may even find it slower because it fragments the registry.</p>
<p>All registry cleaners advise running the program on a scheduled basis in order to keep your registry error free. With the thousands of files in any registry, a few orphaned or unused entries will likely not affect the speed or performance very much. Instead, it may quarantine some files that are needed, what is known as a false positive result.</p>
<p>Experts advise that if you feel the need to fix your registry, you should do it manually. If you don&#8217;t have the skill, then either leave it alone or hire an expert to do it for you. Do not rely on registry cleaners that may have received some good reviews, but have little in the way of real hard data to back up their claims.</p>
<p>Instead, to avoid problems, install only licensed programs to your system, and keep them up to date. Back up your critical data regularly. Be very cautious about installing and uninstalling trial or beta software programs. Always have a good anti-virus and malaware system running, and keep its files updated. Regularly defragment your system and delete temporary files. Just these simple stems will keep your system cleaner, and you won&#8217;t need to consider the dilemma of whether or not to use registry cleaners.</p>
<p>Are you stressed over <a href="http://registrycleanersalternative.com/">registry cleaners</a> that don&#8217;t work and delete files that are critical? Well, with our software, you won&#8217;t have to worry. If you need to know more you need to read our <a href="http://registrycleanersalternative.com/3 Quick Tips To Speed Up Your Slow Computer.htm">registry cleaners reviewed</a> article.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wireless technologies have improved to a point where the difference in sound quality is negligible to most ears. This has seen more and more manufacturers beginning to include wireless surround sound speakers as a part of their home-theater-in-a-box systems.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can spend $200,000 and get a system that will melt your ears with sonic sounds, but for most of us that is out of our reach. A realistic budget for a decent quality home theater system would be $400-4,000, depending on what kind of set-up you are looking for.</p>
<p>Everyone has different needs, so the only way to figure out which system will be best for you is to spend some time getting to know what&#8217;s available. Try searching on Google for &#8220;home theater review&#8221; as a starting point. Make sure you read both professional reviews and reviews by customers who have bought the system.  Product specifications are a good starting point, but bear in mind that many manufacturers will manipulate their data so it looks good on paper.</p>
<p>A good return policy is very important for wireless home theater systems.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Clockwork Orange first premiered in the United States in the early nineteen seventies as an X-rated cult film, which as you may guess, experienced a great deal of controversy, for both images and plot. For, while an outstanding piece of cinematography, the subject matter is not one many people can handle for as long as the film runs.</p>
<p>However, one can find ways to escape the main issue on the screen relating to violence by focusing on one of the many colorful objects set in the backdrop in nearly every scene of the movie. Also, because sadly some of the criminal events in this film have become far more common since the nineteen seventies, even today many people find this movie a difficult choice, especially those having been victims of such crimes in the past.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, sometimes individuals have asked if this movie has had an impact on the development and popularity of gangs. However, as Al Capone can attest, gangs were around long before A Clockwork Orange. So, while no is the most likely answer, this does not mean that other criminally minded individuals may not use the images and plot in a negative way with regards to such behavior.</p>
<p>However, if one follows the plot and stays with the movie, one can see a dramatic reversal in realities take place. In many cases, such incidents relate to the ideology behind Karma and the events we go through in life. These include events related to both past lives and present conditions. So, before watching this film, one may want to know there are themes of rape, murder, nudity, sexism and other violent imaging involved in the criminal acts which are blatant and visible to anyone watching. In addition, if one is watching the newest release which has been digitally enhanced, one may also want to realize that these graphic images come to life with better believability as well as color.</p>
<p>Regardless, this movie is one which many people try to analyze over and again in relation to the characters and whether Alex, the lead, is either good or evil, whether he is a victim or a villain. For, while the crimes which his gang committed were brutal, others have also indicated that the individuals administering the program beyond his will along with their tactics is clearly torture. Which do you believe? For, only oneself can answer such a questioned based on their own ideologies behind good and evil or right and wrong.</p>
<p>With regards to Karma, the writer plays a very active role in defining how gangs can be a drawback to life. The writer also portrays a good example of how only caring about lust and money can drive one insane. In addition, by swirling toward the end of the movie by providing characters from the beginning, one is drawn to the conclusion that the current experiences Alex is going through are all based in Karma. Regardless, the question remains as to whether such imprisonment, torture and treatment were good or bad for Alex in the future.</p>
<p>Therefore, one need also look at the other ways in which Karma can effect one in life while watching the film. For example, in one situation, the movie keeps returning Alex to his past, over and over again during recovery, which no doubt can also hold one back from healing. Thus, always returning Alex to a point where he had betrayed someone or invaded their home, often beyond their will. At one point, it appears one such individual does not remember Alex, until later when realizing he and his wife had been attacked by him and his gang. Often, many individuals discover that it is the these quieter moments in this film that are the most powerful with regards to communicating a message to the audience about good and evil or right and wrong.</p>
<p>So, as one can learn a great deal about life from the film A Clockwork Orange, it is definitely a film one may want to check out. However, one need be aware of the extreme violence and brutality before taking anyone under the age of seventeen, as this is a film which for its time created a great deal of controversy for many images reflected within the movie. Images which can often include extreme gang rape and bloody violence among other crimes which one may not want their children to see at any younger age, if then. For, while many love this movie, others believe it is a key to starting the wheel of violence and need be banned. Yet, it is a film that has been nominated for four academy awards and has won seven other awards. To this end, regardless of the themes, if one can handle the imagery and violent content of this film, a great deal of entertainment can still come from watching the movie, whether on DVD or on the big screen at a local theatre. However, as the DVD version has been digitally enhanced, the colors and imagery in the film are greatly enhanced over the original. Therefore, given the option, one may want to check out both versions and do a comparison to see which one, one likes the best before buying a copy.</p>
<p>The most difficult emotion for him to show is grief and sorrow when someone close to him dies. <a href="http://www.moviedownloadsites.net">Buy Movies On Line</a> Movies and Television on DVD, But Where is the Technology Heading&#8217; The details of cricket in a cricket podcast download are not restricted to just reviews and previews.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The racing wheel is a staple of any completely equipped video gaming entertainment center, and steering wheels for playstation2 signify a zenith in the advance of these controllers. The advancements made in analog and digital technology have really allowed for the contemporary racing wheel to give an extremely realistic experience to gamers.</p>
<p>Basic Racing Wheels. The earliest known ancestor of the modern racing wheel is essentially the paddle. You can recall those, right? They were those ancient controllers people used in the seventies with the big spinner wheels in the middle. They gave tighter, superior control in racing games than a customary control, but&#8230; they didn&#8217;t exactly make you believe you had been driving a car, for obvious reasons. Nonetheless, these analog paddles launched a significant thought to the world of video games: Analog control. Where a joystick or directional pad allows eight directions and only one speed, the analog wheels would let you turn sharply or steadily, both left or right depending upon the circumstances, thus allowing for a complete different level of handling for racing games. Looking back at the stone age of home consoles, there were no steering wheels, merely paddles. This is how it began. The problem? A two inch wheel did not in reality put you in the driver&#8217;s seat. You never did feel as if you were actually behind the wheel, even when control reaction was present.</p>
<p>Home Racing Wheels. At the end of the seventies and starting in the 1980, more and more home racing wheels started to come into existence. To take those wheels apart and look at the insides, they were built on the exact equivalent equipment as the analog paddle; however, they would set the controls in your hand and allow for a a great deal more genuine, intuitive control, and a much more natural gaming experience. At this time, there was no &#8220;force feedback&#8221;; therefore they would use springs in order to give a sensation of resistance.</p>
<p>Force Feed Back. Force feedback wheels would prove to be a genuine revolution in racing simulation, no pun intended. Force feedback involves the use of of an electric motor linked to the wheel so as to offer bona fide resistance in keeping with the in-game action. Early on, these motors could only vibrate when you were involved in a crash or bumped into another driver. However almost immediately, the know-how advanced to the point where it could actually give you extremely realistic resistance. The wheel could pull out of your hands at some point in a spin out, it would offer crash and resistance when making a quick turn; it wouldn&#8217;t merely submissively accept your input. This is due to the in-depth physics systems of modern racing games, giving information to the wheel. Thus in reality it feels more like the wheel you use were you driving the course in genuine life. For some gamers, this is the best deal; consequently the selection is yours if you want force feedback or not.</p>
<p>The technological progress and rapid growth of video game know-how has at the moment engineered the video driving experience to be considerably genuine and believable such that it is possible to visualize that you had been basically traveling down the boulevard or performing laps around the oval. With the significant variety of steering wheels to go for, it should be trouble-free to go through the adventure and excitement of the race.</p>
<p>The video game steering wheel has developed over the years, now allowing the gamer a realistic and exciting driving experience. One of the best racing wheels is the <a href="http://ps2steeringwheel.com/">ps2 steering wheel</a> which allows a gamer to experience racing games the way they were meant to be played.Learn more about all the video game racing wheels by visiting <a href="http://ps2steeringwheel.com/category/logitech-steering-wheels/">Logitech PS2 Wheels</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since he burst onto the MMA scene Joe Lauzon has been working to earn respect. Hes lost only once since then&#8211;to top contender Kenny Florian in a bout that earned fight of the night honors&#8211;but for some reason hes had trouble being taken seriously as a top contender in the UFCs lightweight division. In the main event at the UFC Ultimate Fight Night in Tampa, Lauzon withstood a game challenge from late replacement Jeremy Stephens to earn a 2nd round submission victory.</p>
<p>Lauzon was in control of the fight throughout, but Stephens gave a good account of himself despite his opponents obvious technical superiority on the ground. Stephens wasn&#8217;t able to match up with Lauzon&#8217;s ever improving BJJ skills, but he used good old fashioned tenacity and some powerful punching to keep the fight competitive throughout. Lauzon appeared to be on the verge of ending the fight midway through the second with a ground and pound assault that he attempted to transition into a rear naked choke. Stephens fought back with a vengeance despite his disadvantageous position and opened a nasty cut on Lauzon&#8217;s forehead with an elbow strike.</p>
<p>As puddles of crimson gathered anytime Lauzon&#8217;s head neared the mat, he gained a new sense of urgency not wanting to lose on a stoppage due to the cut. He regained control on the ground and from full mount twisted into a nasty arm bar. Stephens tried to extricate himself, but was eventually forced to tap giving the bloody Lauzon a hard fought triumph.</p>
<p>The semifinal matchup featured another impressive effort from Cain Velasquez, who many have pegged as the heavyweight superstar of the future. Velasquez is a formidable physical presence at 6&#8242;2&#8243; 241 pounds, and has very well developed technical skills for a fighter with only five bouts under his belt. He trains with the American Kickboxing Academy, and has a reputation as the hardest worker and most dominant sparring partner in a gym who includes among its membership superstars such as Bobby Southworth, Cung Le and Josh Thompson.</p>
<p>Velasquez had some difficulty finishing off tough UFC newcomer Dennis Stojnic. Stojnic displayed impressive toughness and a chin of granite, which is less surprising given his training home at Amsterdam&#8217;s Golden Glory gym where he works alongside such fighters as K-1s Semmy Schilt and DREAMs Alistair Overeem. Stojnic did become the first of Velasquez&#8217;s opponents to make it into the second round as he withstood a brutal beating near the end of the first to make it to the bell.</p>
<p>In the second round, Velasquez quickly caught his opponent and sent him to the canvas with a nice combination which he followed up with another ground and pound attack. Stojnic again kept trying to defend himself despite a hellacious beating, though the referee finally jumped in and stopped the contest awarding Velasquez the TKO verdict.</p>
<p>On the undercard, Josh The Dentist Neer earned a tapout victory over the sports best known (and perhaps only) vegan, Mac Danzig.</p>
<p>In the opening bout of the evening, up-and-coming welterweight Anthony Rumble Johnson used his significant height and reach advantage to dispatch tough Luigi Fioravanti.</p>
<p>The live crowd in Tampa gave a very poor account of themselves, at times booing fighters mercilessly for no apparent reason whatsoever. This was in addition to the usual booing when the fight goes to the ground typical of uneducated MMA fans&#8211;they often turned on fighters midbout for no discernible reason. Their behavior reached a nadir in Cain Velasquez&#8217;s post fight interview, where he was booed mercilessly despite an impressive victory and informing Joe Rogan that he was about to become a father for the first time. It was somewhat surprising, since the Tampa/St. Pete area is home to a flourishing MMA scene.</p>
