Patriots complain about crowd noise

By Jason Cole

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."

Observers at the game said there seemed to be a "skip" in the sound during the game Sunday, which the Patriots won 24-20. That might confirm the long-held suspicion among many people in the NFL that the Colts play loud crowd noise to help distract opponents when the other team is on offense.

"We're aware of the accusations, but there has never been anything to substantiate it," Aiello said.

Kraft approached NFL Vice President of Security Milt Ahlerich after Kraft and his parents, Patriots owners Bob and Myra Kraft, left the Patriots locker room after the game.

Kraft was angry as he told Ahlerich the league needed to look into the allegation. Ahlerich is the same person who confiscated a videotape made by the Patriots during a game against the New York Jets in Week 2 that led to the Spygate controversy.

In addition, New England quarterback Tom Brady also commented on how loud it was in the RCA Dome.

"I don't know how you measure levels of being deaf, but we couldn't hear anything out there," Brady said.

This is the latest in a string of incidents between the teams that have fueled the growing Colts-Pats rivalry. In the past, Colts General Manager Bill Polian has vehemently argued that the Patriots have bent the rules in terms of use of replay challenges and the pass interference rule

Maybe Brady is deaf now and thought that he had to yell to have anybody hear him:



"I don't know how you measure levels of being deaf, but we couldn't hear anything out there," Brady said.

:D ;) :D

You can't electronically amplify crowd noise through the PA system or any other system for that matter.

i think several teams have been accused of it in the past but i dont recall one actually being caught doing it....we will see what happens, but it seems like it would be a hard thing to convict someone of unless if the person doing it confessed....

Ok, call me crazy, but at one point in the game yesterday, it sounded as though the audio was skipping, but the announcers were still talking in complete sentences. It only did it for a second or two, but it definitely sounded like the crowd noise and really nothing else was skipping. I really thought I was crazy, and maybe I really am, but now that this is out I feel a little better. lol:D

[crzyjournalist03]

this myth is officially BUSTED!

That's good to know!

I was just listening to the MP3 of it....and it shuts off...but you can't hear ANY crowd noise when it does..only the announcers.

If it was being piped through and it had a glitch...it wouldn't have been THAT quiet when it did...IMO!

Here is the MP3 link:

I have one for youtube...but of course, the comments keep me from being able to post it.

Thats what I heard. If you listen at the very end it sounds like the crowd noise is skipping.

Nice try Belicheat, but you only have yourself to blame.
