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?
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?
The owners suites at the dome are enclosed. They would have had the audio from the broadcast to hear inside the suite.

They showed at least one shot of the Krafts during the game and I could have sworn there was no glass between them and the camera. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
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.

Am I the only one who thinks the piss-poor/paid-off officiating is much more serious than the "fake crowd noise" issue?
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.

See above.

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.

Funny thing is now, Kraft looks like an idiot for bringing it up because unless Kraft heard it on the tv in his suite, because there is no way he heard it over the PA...
