Pats say Colts cheated...
Quote:
The NFL is looking into allegations that the Indianapolis Colts piped in noise during the game Sunday between the Colts and the Patriots. The charge comes after Patriots President Jonathan Kraft became the latest NFL team executive to accuse the Colts of the distracting tactic that is against the rules.
"We're aware of it and we're looking into it," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "It may just be the TV feed from CBS, but we're checking it out."

I just posted this is in the other thread and i'll repeat what I said there. If it is true then they should be penalized for there actions. I love my team but if it is true then they need to be penalized for it. Wait and see I guess.

Is piping in noise on the same plane as video taping signals? Either can be considered cheating in the broad sense. Now that the NFL has come down on the latter, do other instances such as the former warrant a similar reaction?
Both are practices that are alleged to be widespread around the league. Both are practices that are frowned upon by the league but until this year were never punished/enforced.
On the one hand, the Pats lodging a complaint is rich. Pot? Kettle? On the other hand, if you're going to take a stand on cheating and crucify the Patriots, then you may be forced to take the same kind of stand against other forms of cheating even at the expense of Saint Dungy.

Easterbrook's whole "Good vs Evil" crap (ESPN) will be even more funny to read if this is true.

Belicheck still gave him lot's of column fodder by brushing off Dungy at the end of the game. Plus, this was the ninth game in a row that the Patriots kept their first stringers on the field for pretty much the whole game. For shame!

Can't blame them too much though. They aligned with the forces of good to vanquish the Evil Patriots. Alas, it was not meant to be and we got to see they Peyton Manning face again!
So, troutman, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Have a listen to the audio clip and judge for yourself. It's in the middle of the clip 
The site supplies this audio clip from the CBS broadcast for judgement.
Near the end, you notice some repeating reverb coming from the Indianapolis faithful. The background sound then shuts off, and the crowd sounds a whole lot quieter.
It's sort of like a CD skipping. Were fake cheers being piped into the Dome? Or was CBS injecting their own aural effects into the game via a sound studio in New York?

The Metrodome used to be infamous for this. I thought teams had given up?
If true then Indy can't be too smart. To do this on the most anticipated game of the season so far, a game watched in every market except for a couple (Oakland and Houston I believe would have carried their home team's game (unless OAK didn't sell out, in which case their local game would be blacked out and the CBS affiliate would have carried NE/IND))

Colts cleared of cheating
Newsday has learned that the NFL's investigation into complaints from the Patriots that the Colts had illegally piped in crowd noise is over. It didn't take the league long to find out that the Colts were not at fault for a crowd noise issue.
"CBS has informed us that the unusual audio moment heard by fans during the Patriots-Colts game was the result of tape feedback in the CBS production truck and was isolated to the CBS broadcast," NFL vice president Greg Aiello tells us. "It was in no way related to any sound within the stadium and could not be heard in the stadium."

Good! I was worried there for a moment. I was really hoping we didn't cheat and am glad we were cleared!

Yeah, I'd be pulling my starters off the field in a 4 point game.

It's a cover-up. Of course the Colts and NFL are conspiring against the Pats.

If by cheating we all mean "all dome teams do it on a regular basis" then OK. This is normal, Minnesota and New Orleans do this every game.

Its so funny how much the Pats are hated, when they "cheat" its the end of NFL football itself. If the Colts "cheat" that report must be wrong.
Its okay everyone, you can admit the Pats are the best team video tapes or not. Who cares about crowd noise maybe they should look into the refs and if they placed any bets recently on the Colts because it sure looked like they wanted them to win, more than the fans.

When a team wins 3 Super bowls and finishes in the top of the league in each of the past 6-7 seasons and then leads off a season 9-0 I'm sure the majority of NFL fans are tired of seeing them succeed. I was actually hoping for them when thay played the Rams for the 2001 Super Bowl and then I was indifferent for the 2002 Super Bowl vs. the Panthers, and then if it wasn't for the fact that they played my most hated Eagles in the 2004 Super Bowl I would have been cheering against them. Now after a 9-0 start I'm sick of them and want to see them lose. That and their coach is one of the world's biggest 'A-holes' ever to grace a football field. He's running up scores just to spite the NFL for taking offense to his cheating (Did anyone see his 4th and 1 gamble with Tom Brady still in the ball game in the 4th quarter inside the red zone when up 45-0 vs the Redskins last week?)
If the Colts win the Super Bowl again this year and then lead off the season 9-0 next season I'd be hoping for them to lose too.
