I would hope that Pats fans won't get all bitter about it but rather take the opportunity to merciless mock the NFL, sports pundits, and idiot Pats haters up and down the line.
I can't help but feel if it turns out to be a CBS production issue, and I think it's a waste of time to speculate until the word comes down. However, I will admit it will be A LOT of fun if it turns out the Colts were doing it.

I think "Noisegate" is as good as anything.
So, is there not one among us who was actually at the game who would care to shout out (pun intended)?

That's funny because a noisegate is an actual piece of audio equipment. Signal is sent to it. When it reaches a certain threshold or level. the gate opens and passes the signal to the system. When it decreases the gate closes.
For a name I kind of like "Pipe Noise" as it reflects the Colt's pipe dream that they would win and of course the extra crowd noise was piped in.
The radio broadcasters do not have a parabolic mic on the field. Their speech on their headsets bleeds out the sound coming from inside their stadium. So I have to disagree with you here.
I remember these are the kind of statements we were making after the Jets game too. We thought it was all bunk and just a bunch of haters. A week later the Pats lost a 1st round pick, BB lost $500K, and the Pats became "cheaters".
Bumping for a good point.
Our friend, Vic Ketchman on Jaguars.com chimes in:

Joe from Pontypridd, Wales: On the first play of the fourth quarter in the Indy-NE game, the crowd noise CD clearly started to jump. Obviously, someone forgot to clean the disk that day. Do you think this will be picked up on by the NFL and, if so, what action can be taken?
Vic: I didn’t see one play of the game. As I had said last Friday, I would be on an airplane during the “Big Game,” so I was caught off guard this morning when my inbox was jammed with e-mails about this situation. Hey, I’ve been telling you for two years that they pipe it in. If the commissioner had been reading my column, he would’ve known about this. It’s time to investigate, again.

Well, if this does get legs, it will surely end up being called 'noisegate', because people can't seem to resist using the 'gate' suffix for any scandal.
Frezo, thank you for your insight. Your account of what you suspect happened certainly seems plausible to me. But I have a question. If cbs's broadcast mixes the broadcasters' voices with crowd noise, field noise, etc., all on different channels, isn't it possible that there could have been a glitch in the crowd noise channel? Perhaps some type of digital time-based effect got switched on accidentally?
Anyway, I hope that your account proves correct.
Thanks for all the insight Frezo.
Based on the articles I've read, clearly Kraft heard it live.
