Sore winners? [UPDATE: Yep, that's what they are in New England]

"We're aware of it and we're looking into it," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "It may just be the TV feed from CBS, but we're checking it out."
Observers at the game said there seemed to be a "skip" in the sound during the game Sunday, which the Patriots won 24-20. That might confirm the long-held suspicion among many people in the NFL that the Colts play loud crowd noise to help distract opponents when the other team is on offense.
"We're aware of the accusations, but there has never been anything to substantiate it," Aiello said.
Honestly, is the collective age maturation of the New England Patriots that of a ten-year-old?
Of course, the irony of a team caught cheating making accusations about another team supposedly cheating is charming and cute, in a creepy, pathetic sort of way; kind of like OJ Simpson offering marriage counseling.
Look, we've heard this accusation before. Jerry Jones' Saturday night gimp, Ed Werder, made the claim back in 2005, and had no evidence to back up his "observation." As Mr. Aiello said, people can say what they want. Without evidence, it's just whining. People make dumb claims all the time, and when cheaters themselves are accusing others of cheating, it's kind of hard to take them seriously.
That said, if the Colts were piping in crowd noise, or any noise for that matter, in blatant violation of league rules, I'd expect them to be punished as the NFL sees fit. Then, I'd expect some accountability. New England fans may tolerate and even reward cheating. Indianapolis fans do not.
However, until we read the words "Colts punished for cheating," it's just the mad ravings of an owner (Bob Kraft) who is whining after his team won the game. How pathetically stupid is that?
You think Bob is scared to see these Colts again? Is the Pope Catholic? Does Rodney Harrison inject HGH into his cock?
Update [2007-11-5 15:56:57 by BigBlueShoe]: Well, apparently, you can look like a loser after you win a game. Just ask Bob Kraft and the Patriots, who claimed the Colts were piping in crowd noise during "Armageddon" yesterday. Apparently, ole Bob isn't all that interested in facts when he makes claims about cheating:
"It was the result of tape feedback in the CBS production truck," the network's LeslieAnne Wade said. "In no way was it from the stadium.

Colts DID NOT CHEAT
Per Schefter, the vibrating sound as the Pats were driving at the start of the fourth quarter was the result of tape feedback in the CBS production truck. Schefter says that the sound could not be heard in the stadium....
We've spoken to some radio folks who also believe that the phenomenon was not the result of a glitch during the use of artificial crowd noise.

Absolutey hysterical
Born and raised in Mass, I am a NE fan. This year proves to be unlike any other. World Series, The Celtics might win a couple, the Bruins are doing great, and I have gone to Foxboro faithfully to see my team play since I was a little girl.
The 'win at all costs philosophy' is something crazy to read. I respect the Colts, I love Peyton, he is the only pro-athlete I can see that I still like after he has endorsed himself into more commercials than anyone else has, but still the Pats are regarded as some team from Hell. Can it just be that they are finally great, having drafted for depth, with one of the smartest coaches in the game?
I cheered for the Colts in the last superbowl. I was happy they won. I have traveled, myself as a coach, and liked my time in Indy. But it's true, as bad as Boston fans have a rap elsewhere in the country, every other team has fans just as bad. Nobody is innocent in sports. And to make statements that categorize people from Mass like the one above make me happy to be here, because hate spawns from jealousy, and at this point, I think all fans are jealous of the Pats fans. I can only imagine the things that would have been said on here if the Colts won the game, even with all of their penalty yards helping them.
I'm wondering, Indy. Does this make me a troll?

Hey I hate the Pats but what type of comment is this? I've been to Massachusetts and it's a fine state.

Hypocrite
But, the day before the game, talking about Sunday's game "No players with the flu. No bug-eyed Reche Caldwell. No second-rate linebackers covering a slot tight end."
What is that. Are those what I think they are...?
Tomassee making excuses for the AFC championship game last year? No, it can't be. The same Tomassee that's calling Colts fans babies for the same things today?
Yeah, he has nothing to say to me calling him out over there so far, he's had almost 7 hours and he's posted on the site in the time since.

EVERYTHING
HE WHINES ALL GAME.

Make it. Please
Come play in our house. Please do your best to make it there. Winning the SB this year won't be the same without beating your blueboys one more time.
It always ends with Manning blaming his teammates for the loss. Beautiful!
Don't lose to the Chargers. That might ruin our next date. See ya.

Softens the blow
Your upcoming loss to the Chargers will diminish the butt-kicking you took on Sunday.
Pats are winners.
Colts are losers.
