Here's the video of the Colts' favorite "crowd noise CD" skipping during World War III yesterday. Well, kinda the video. I don't remember half of the screen being green yesterday. Phil Simms and Jim Nantz do a nice job of acting like nothing at all happens, even though the cheering skips for several seconds before abruptly stopping. And because it's en vogue to bitch about radios not working, Tom Brady stated that he worked most of yesterday's game without any radio connection to Coach Bill Belichick.
Ugh, I'm tired of this lame-ass "cheating" that every other homer fan bitches about. Ooh, videotaping signals! Fake cheering! Radio jamming!!! Gosh, how can an opponent play though that? Wake me up when an assistant coach breaks into an opponent's headquarters and steals a playbook, or an entire team gets poisoned by double-agent caterers. Or someone frames Ray Lewis for murder. Yeahhhhh… "frames."
At least that stuff might actually affect a game, or maybe even make me give a shit.
FACT-Y UPDATE — Colts cleared: "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." Whatever, CBS is totally covering for them.

A Dungy-coached team cheating??? I blame the gays.
finally the brady-manning suckfest is over! they should just atm each other and get it over with. looks like espn will have to go back to 24 hour a day poker til playoffs start. and just to let stewart scott know if i ever see him in public im gonna punch him in the lazy eye!
WWIII? Please tell me there were many casualties on both sides.
I thought only the popcorn was canned in the Indy stadium.
(Insert video of the fat kid asking "How's mah face look?")

Or when a 19-year old cheerleading coach takes a topless picture with a 15-year old protege!
If the Patriots lose, the terrists win.
Cheer and yell? how ethnic
I am confused…is it the colts pumping that noise in or is it CBS pumping it onto their broadcast?
I wouldn't put anything past the amateurs that put on that dog & pony show at CBS.
+1 Joe Buck.
Also caught cheating: Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini.
On their diets.
I heard the same thing on the CBS pregame show, first someone talking, then skipping then silence. It turns out that it was just Shannon Sharpe talking.
Double Murder.
Let's think of the logistics here… why would you have crowd noise on a CD? Would you track forward for more cheering or is less cheering located at 2:12 on track 5? I would think that some college kid with a $1500 DAW would be much more effective than some dude with a $35 Awia CD player.
Not to be a conspiracy debunker, but did anyone in the stands hear this? I've only seen TV footage, and I'd bet that the system that controls the 5.1 surround sound of the crowd locked up on CBS's end.
Now back to the titties.
Underage titties.
I bought the Colts' crowd noise CD. It debuted at number 2 behind the new Britney Spears. Randy Moss does not care for either.
Favorite part of that broadcast, "We welcome those watching the Houston Oakland game, if you're just joining us, you've missed an exciting game"
Facts? Updates? What is this? The New York Times Weblog?
See! Told 'ya!

Fake Faked Crowd Noise > ESPN Jock Jams Volume 5
Ashlee Simpson is not impressed.
Let's hear from someone who was at the game, to settle this once and for all. Until then, Greg Aiello's spin on what happened still smells of BS.
CBS has burnt all tapes of the game.
This is actually insulting that the NFL expects us to believe that this was "tape feedback" when audio feedback sounds nothing like this. You put an audio source (microphone) next to the amplifier (speaker) and it makes a god-awful sounds that isn't a continuous, discreet audio loop like the sound was during the game.
Well, what do you expect? The Colts are the darlings of the NFL and everyone loves them and no one will ever say anything bad about Tony "Powder Blue Jesus" Dungy and Peyton "Aw Shucks" Manning. The Illuminati that runs the NFL is at DefCon4 because their plan for Colts world domination was upset last night and now they're running interference when the refs from the game wouldn't know the definition of interference if it slapped a dick in their face. Only this time the Pats overcame shitty refs to win (fair and square, mind you).
I thought it was THE MATRIX breaking down!
