Forgot About This

We were like huh?

I just remembered this from two weeks ago hat tip to Cold Hard Football facts. On a big 2nd down to start the fourth quarter of the Colts-Patriots game the crowd noise suddenly gets louder and then as the pass is completed to Randy Moss it sounds as though the crowd starts skipping. Or the crowd noise CD or MP3 starts skipping.

I was watching the game at my house with neighbors and we heard it, were surprised and then surprised that the announcers never so much as mentioned it.

The next day Monday on Sirius NFL Radio 2 Minute Drill I heard that CBS said it was a technical problem and not amplified crowd noise. Something about a tape or feedback or something When I went online to check it out there were so many stories on it that it looks like CBS and the NFL are like nope no story here keep moving oh look it's Dancing with the Stars.

References here, here, here, here, here, here, here and this is the best one where Colts GM Bill Polian blames blogs for this and every bad story. And yet oddly the Colts have faced these kinds of allegations at least twice before.
