NFL: Crowd Noise Controversy Was CBS Audio Glitch, Not Colts Cheating

The NFL said today that the bizarre sound that many TV viewers thought was a CD of fake crowd noise skipping was, in reality, no such thing. The league responded quickly when the Patriots and many fans questioned whether the Colts were cheating:

"CBS has informed us that the unusual audio moment heard by fans during the Patriots-Colts telecast was the result of tape feedback in the CBS production truck and was isolated to the CBS broadcast," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "It was in no way related to any sound within the stadium and could not be heard in the stadium."

So that seems to bring to an end what could have been the beginning of a controversy to rival Patriotgate. Now we can turn our attention to more important subjects, like whether Tony Romo is dating Britney Spears.
