Are the Colts pumping in fake crowd noise?
The buzz this morning is that the Colts were pumping in crowd noise in yesterday's game. It's not a new accusation. But this time there may be audio evidence. There were a few seconds when Jim Nantz and Phil Simms were announcing and it sounds like the crowd is a record skipping behind them.

Funny enough, in the game yesterday, Nantz and Simms were talking about how loud it got in the Dome when the Pats were on offense, and how quiet it got for Manning. They were praising the Indy crowd for its "discipline."
Of course, Patriots fans are furious. How the hell is Belichick supposed to steal signals with all that crowd noise being pumped in?
The Swamp is kicking it around here.
UPDATE: The NFL is officially investigating.
