I always thought the colts "Piped In Crowd Noise" was just internet folklore...until I heard the crowd noise skip.
Eight years later, the Indianapolis Colts remain vindicated for allegedly pumping in the same fake noise that prompted the NFL to fine the Atlanta Falcons.

Then Atlanta got busted for it.
I thought "You cheating MFers". The colts were doing it for years.
Filming from the wrong location and balls losing pressure due to cold was trumped up BS.
Piped-in crowd noise was deliberate, systematic, long term cheating.
You can't tell me the NFL didn't know about it.
Atlanta: "
$350,000 and usurped a 2016 fifth-round draft choice"
New England: 1st, 4th, 1 Mil, and 4 game suspension for their franchise player.
Colts: Nothing.
All this inequity makes my blood boil.
The only thing that makes me feel better is that somehow the Pats get compensated with good karma with things like winning the Super Bowl the next year and Mac falling into their laps last draft.
God loves the Pats.
