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.
