I thought it was kind of funny how often the commentators would say things like "The people here keep up the energy and noise all game long" and "The crowd is well trained" and stuff like that whenever they'd get loud during the Pat offensive plays. I didn't personally hear that skipping part, I was watching but not paying that close attention to it. Very subtle way of cheating if that's what it was though, but still technically against the rules.
So what do you think will happen?
Honestly I don't know. The NFL is already looking into it, I don't know how hard it would be to try and track down if it was a local thing, or if it was a problem with CBS' broadcast, but people in the stadium were reporting it as well, not just on the TV broadcast.

It is on the news, it's already been reported to the NFL, they're already investigating. It can't be his DVR, how could it screw up the background audio, but with the commentator sounding perfectly fine? They don't stream all of the individual sound channels like that, everything would've been screwed up then. It could definitely be a problem with CBS though, with that one stream before it got mixed into the broadcast, or it could be something their mics picked up from the dome itself.
as i said it didn't happen when we were watching it. so who knows what it was.
UNTIL it is confirmed they cheated i will give them the benifit of the doubt. to many things could be go wrong.

CBS has been having tons of difficulty with their HD audio the last few weeks. I heard it...
sounded exactly like feedback or a processing problem in the broadcast.

Whether it's a broadcasting glitch or really something more nefarious is a fair question, but there's more than one source with the same audio problem.

Most likely that was simply an audio track/mic that crapped out. This is typical Bush administration method tho...when you lie and cheat and get busted for it...attack the credibility of the opposing party, so I find it ironic that the colts are being called cheaters after the Patriots get busted for cheating.
In fact, at other times their video studdered...perhaps we weren't watching the outcome of the real game, but one that 'others' wanted us to think was real.
In fact, in reality I'll bet the colts actually won!!

If I were the Patriots, I wouldn't give two shits about the crowd noise, I'd be filing complaints over that ridiculous pass interference call on Ellis Hobbs and then the offensive pass interference call on Moss.

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."
According to a report on Yahoo.com, the NFL opened an investigationg after the Patriots complained of loud noise in the RCA Dome during Sunday's matchup of undefeated teams in Indianapolis.
The accusations were apparently made after some observed a "skip" in the sound during the game, which New England won, 24-20.
The Patriots have already been on the opposite end of their own cheating scandal this year, when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell found that they had illegally taped hand signals on the Jets sideline during the teams' Week 1 matchup. Head coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 and the team was fined $250,000 and forced to forfeit a draft pick as punishment.
The Colts were blamed last year for pumping crowd noise into the stadium when the oppositions offense was on the field to make it difficult to hear other players on the field. The league looked into it and cleared the Colts.Originally posted by: mjuszczak
How did they cheat? I don't get it.

So you're telling me they play the cheer of the audience over the loudspeakers are football games?
Pretty stupid claim IMHO. If they were gonna do it, they would just amplify the existing crowd noise (which is what they were accused of doing during the Colts-Steelers AFC championship game a few years back)
That's pretty retarded. Regardless, I don't think that it was some cd skipping, probably the audio taken from the sound inside of the stadium had some type of glitch.
