Yahoo's Cole: Jonathan Kraft livid about fake crowd noise after game [merged] - New England Patriots Forums

Am I the only one who thinks the piss-poor/paid-off officiating is much more serious than the "fake crowd noise" issue?

Sorry for adding another post, but I don't think most people would see this if I added it to another thread.

Jonathan Kraft officially brought up the allegation.

Some highlights:

The article indicates the sound was not just from the TV broadcast, as the Krafts noticed it and were at the game, as well as other "observers."

Hilarious twist of irony, as the article states Polian has been vehement about the pass interference rules. Polian has also whined about the Patriots use of replay challenges. Huh?

The owners suites at the dome are enclosed. They would have had the audio from the broadcast to hear inside the suite.

See above.

Thank God we won this game because if we didn't all these allegations would look like sour grapes right now.

They showed at least one shot of the Krafts during the game and I could have sworn there was no glass between them and the camera. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

I've kind of been assuming that it was some kind of technology glitch that we heard on tv, but if it was observable at the stadium too, and what we heard on tv is merely additional evidence rather than the only evidence, it would really be too good to be true.

This is great that the NFL is taking it seriously. Let's see what happens.

It's time to see if Goodell is consistent with his hammer, or if he's just a spineless pawn controlled by Polian and his gang.

Did this thread get merged with others? Where is it located now after being moved?

SoonerPatriot · 11-05-2007, 08:25 AM

Im curious as to why all the threads about this issue are being "moved". It appears the mod in charge today either is a moron, or doesn't realize the gravity of this issue.

I tend to agree Omega. It's just that if it IS true the sanctimonious Indy front office will be knocked down a peg or two. Oh the irony...

I'm convinced it will lead nowhere, though.

Unless BB, diabolically, tapped into the Indy sound system and did this himself...

***ALP*** · 11-05-2007, 08:38 AM

i agree...if this catches fire, the media will only spread it...

also, why ARE these threads being moved??? who exactly is the mod on this site?
