Right, the NBA, the league with the officiating scandal that included an incredibly poorly refereed game in the playoffs that was later revealed to be the result of an official who was taking money to rig the game by making bogus calls. That NBA. Don't ever use the NBA as an example if you're trying to defend the Colts and say that refs can't be bought.

Barking out offensive signals to try to draw a team offsides is illegal at any level of the game. It's unfortunate if the referees can't hear it, but maybe they should listen a little closer. I don't think the refs blatantly cheat for the Colts, but I do think they look away from some of the questionable Colts calls, and look closer on the questionable calls on their opponents. It's a double-standard, and it isn't fair, but it isn't illegal.

To be fair, you're one of the more level-headed Colts fans here.

Beside NE, I don't think ANY other team can beat the Colts at their home. With the bull crap officiating in favor of the Colts pretty much every time..that would be hella hard to beat them....To beat team.... a team need to beat the officials calling AND the team at the same time...which mean they have bring 110% whenever they play..... Which what the Pats did, and they won. I'm so glad...I'm so annoyed and pissed off at the officials whenever I watch the Colts game...It just not fair at all. I felt bad for Del Rio yesterday.

Read my post again.

The point was that complaining seems to help the Colts in the NFL or at least not hurt them and it seems to hurt Cuban and the Mavs because he constantly complains, imho.

I hope that makes more sense.
