On Sunday November 5th, we were all watching the big match-up between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots that was touted as Superbowl 42 and a half, when after one play I heard a distinct digital skipping sound of of background crowd noise over my high definition home theater system right before a Randy Moss catch. It was quite obvious that the sound was either a digital broadcast problem or as the Patriots alleged, that the Colts cheated by piping crowd noise into the stadium in an attempt distract their opponent. Apparently it didn’t work so well because Moss caught the ball and the Patriots won the game.  The scheme was revealed after the source of the sound skipped or hiccuped. We’ve seen similar tactics used in the past by the Vikings in the Roller Dome. You’d never have that kind of problem at Lambeau field in Green Bay. Come on Colts fans, make your own noise!

Listen for yourself to see if you can detect the skipping sound.
