Brady needs a new di-dee.

The NFL is looking into allegations that the Indianapolis Colts piped in noise during the game Sunday between the Colts and the Patriots. The charge comes after Patriots President Jonathan Kraft became the latest NFL team executive to accuse the Colts of the distracting tactic that is against the rules. "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. A Patriots spokesman said Monday the team plans no formal protest to the league. Kraft approached NFL Vice President of Security Milt Ahlerich after Kraft and his parents, Patriots owners Bob and Myra Kraft, left the Patriots locker room after the game. Kraft was angry as he told Ahlerich the league needed to look into the allegation. Ahlerich is the same person who confiscated a videotape made by the Patriots during a game against the New York Jets in Week 2 that led to the Spygate controversy. In addition, New England quarterback Tom Brady also commented on how loud it was in the RCA Dome. "I don't know how you measure levels of being deaf, but we couldn't hear anything out there," Brady said. This is the latest in a string of incidents between the teams that have fueled the growing Colts-Pats rivalry. In the past, Colts General Manager Bill Polian has vehemently argued that the Patriots have bent the rules in terms of use of replay challenges and the pass interference rule.
Wireless communication to the QB is allowed now. If you look real close, on the back of a QB’s helmet you’ll see a little round green sticker. This denotes a “special” helmet. There should only be one on the field, on the QB. No cheating and outfitting more players.
The outrage over the Patriots video taping was ridiculous and so is this. I can't believe the people who feign outrage over the Patriots videotaping really believe that every other team does not do things on the illegal side to provide their team an advantage. And its not just that the Pats got caught. Teams get caught all the time doing stuff. Finger pointers should get a life.
I’ve said that from the start.
Upon first read, I thought you suggested that finger pointers should get life, as in prison.
Actually might not be a bad idea.
I was looking forward to watching the game. Then Phil Simms started “announcing” and I hit the mute button. Can’t stand his constant screeching.
Brady needs a new di-dee.
That looks more like your boy Peyton.
24-20 whose whinning?
Certainly not grammar.
Excuse me. Who doth whine now.
Oh wow. Willing to make snarky remarks, but no idea of the accusations.
:)
Funny how the feedback only occurs when Colts are on defense.
Guess you didn’t read the article....
“I don’t know how you measure levels of being deaf, but we couldn’t hear anything out there,” Brady said.
...it was Brady crying about the fans in the RCA Dome being ‘too loud’. Didn’t hear Manning crying about the loss....he actually stated that Patsies played better.
I think they are trying to be considerate and not rub your nose in it from yesterday.
There is something to be said for just letting people blow off their steam after losing.
Of course, for some people, the whining never, ever stops.
I'm not sure what you were watching. I was just watching that play and I'm not sure anyone touched him the whole run. A couple of people might have gotten fingertips on him.
I did notice that the play was enabled by Saturday dragging a defender to the ground who'd broken free up the middle. Manning threw to Adai right through the lane that opened up from that.
Adai did a very nice job on the Patriots, however a lot was also that he was being left uncovered until the Colts got deep into Patriots territory, where they mostly stuffed him.
LOL...I think the one who needs a new di-dee is the one pounding his fist on the turf yesterday evening late in the game.
What the heck are you talking about?
"Rub my nose" in what exactly?
Don't get too crazy...it's not like it was a playoff game!
That poor bastard knew his career was over. Two balls right into the numbers and he butter fingered them both.
