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?

Re: Audiogate hits mainstream media- Yahoo!

Now why is it that this headline is Patriots COMPLAIN about crowd noise?

Why can't it be "bring up allegation" or something like that?

I guess we are that hated.

We need something other than Audiogate. How about, the Millivanilliaoplis Colts?

The most interesting aspect of this article is, Kraft confronted NFL security immediatly after this game. Did Kraft hear the audio from the booth tv, or live?

Yeah, I just read that.. Came here to post it..but you beat me to it.
THe title yahoo gave it way over the top,but then again the evil pats dare to speak against the saintly colts

What is important that mainstream media got word of this , perhaps this will ensure a proper investigation. If it is nothing , then fine...but this way it cannot be ignored or silently sweeped under a rug.

This very article discussed right now on WEEI by Dale & Holley.
BB said today that they had NO coach to QB communications.

MSNBC and Yahoo Now Reporting on Noisegate

Evidently Jonathan Kraft has filed a complaint.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21639328/

This is the first truly NATIONAL (not niche blog) reporting on the story. It's also the first we've heard about a formal complaint by the Patriots (Jonathan Kraft, not Robert) being filed.

This story will now spread like wildfire.

I love that Yahoo now gets to sit at the big peoples' table and wear the title of "main stream media."

Doesn't Bill Polian do a monday radio show? Some industrious board member should be clocking-out for the balance of the day and scanning both Indianapolis radio stations for comments.

Re: MSNBC and Yahoo Now Reporting on Noisegate

This could get interesting because if the Colts are guilty this is worse than taping signals. The videotapes weren’t being used “in game” so it wasn't an advantage used to win that particular game whereas, piping in crowd noise (and possibly messing with the communications systems) during a game is designed to help the other team win that game.

On the other hand, it will all likely come to not. The media's not interested in making the Colts the bad guy.

I can't wait to hear Dungheap's press conference when they bring this up, I'm sure he'll answer all media questions asked about the incident, after all they're the "Good Guys"....everyone loves the Co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-colts!

Re: Audiogate hits mainstream media- Yahoo!

The most encouraging thing about this, if it's being accurately reported, is that the Krafts were all over right after the game while the NFL security guy was still there.

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.

For those predicting the media will leave the story alone because it's the colts, there is no way. They will jump on this thing like crazy if it gets legs. No doubt about it.

For the time being, I'm content to wait for the facts to come in. In the meantime, though, the parallels to cameragate are pretty astounding. This would be so funny if true.

Yahoo's Cole: Jonathan Kraft livid about fake crowd noise after game

This guy got mad.
This guy filed a complaint about the fake crown noise.

Before this thread is deleted or moved, all i want to know is,


Was he watching the game on tv? or listening to the sound of the cbs broadcast?

 

[Keegs]

ok so none of that answered my question.

Does anyone know for a fact how the Krafts listened to this game?

 

[Joker]

you'll have to ask the Indy trolls who were at the game and "saw and heard everything". Either that or take your life in your hands and head over to the Indy Star where the Mouf O Dee Souf or that crazed lunatic cop who threatened to arrest all Pats fans last night will give you their unbiased answers.

I went to the game yesterday at the RCA Dome. I once said I'd never go to a NFL game in a dome but after going to the 2001 Super Bowl to see our Patriots beat the Rams in New Orleans, I've now seen the Patriots play in Houston, Atlanta, Minneapolis and now Indianapolis. I knew about the "piped in noise" rumors so I was looking, or hearing for it. IMO, if they do, it must be very subtle because I don't think they do. Or did yesterday. The RCA dome isn't even the loudest dome I've been in. I think Atlanta and Minneapolis are louder, or at least were louder the game I was there. It wasn't all that loud in there and they had the lead much of the game.
It IS a fact that the Patriots didn't have OC to QB communications and they had to use hand signals to get the O plays in which BB alluded to in his PC today. But if they piped in noise, Minneapolis and Atlanta must too.
