The Colt's Cheating Ways
Posted on November 05, 2007 in SportsI was going to write a humorous story about how when Lisa was in the bathroom in the 3rd quarter of last night’s game -- the Pats finally started to turn things around.
When she came out of the bathroom they started to tank again – so to appease the football gods we asked her to watch the remainder of the game from the bathroom. She (of course) was a great sport about it so at the end of the game I presented her with the Most Valuable Fan of the Game trophy sponsored by Coors Light.
This story has now been overshadowed by this sound clipped ripped from the audio of last nights game. The announcers all night were talking about how “loud” the dome was .. also mentioning how smart the Indy fans were because it was soo quiet when the Colts had the ball allowing Manning to operate an efficient offense.
In this sound clip you can hear an obvious spike in the volume of the crowd – then an echoing sound (reverb from the crowd noise looping back into the microphone) then a very conspicuous drop in the crowd noise level? Were the Colts pumping in crowd noise to disrupt the Patriots?
Assuming that this was not done by CBS to hype the sounds from the game then its very obvious that the colts are CHEATERS.
The NFL is looking into it .. and of course the Colts and Dungy are going to plead ignorance (so there removed from all possible penalties from the NFL) and state that it was done by someone in the stadium without their knowledge.
There have been many accusations over the years about the unrealistically loud noise in the RCA dome -- but never any proof of it -- maybe the Colts past is also tarnished by cheating?!
The worst part of what the Colts did in comparison to what Belichick’s Spygate -- was that pumping in crowd noise had an direct effect on the game outcome as it was being played – a pretty big one I might add. Whereas what Belichick did only benefited (arguably) future games.
Either way I want to hear all the Patriots pundits that were tossing stones at the Patriots’ glass house speak out against what the Colts did – its only fair.
Either or the colts did not have what it takes to best the Patriots. No matter what the ref’s did on those awful calls and whether they were cheating or not.

Hey Eric, Adam Schefter is reporting that CBS is taking the heat for the audio glitch. Apparently there was a problem in the production truck with the tape.

I'm a little late to the game, but...seriously? Yeah, I think Patriot fans would be the last ones to cast stones. I feel another cliche coming on too...something about a pot and kettle.
As Jonathan pointed out, it was most likely a problem with the sound levels in production, plus the Pats still won.
