NFL investigating Falcons for fake crowd noise

Apparently, the last two seasons where the Falcons have struggled to get the crowd into the game (due to us sucking), they decided to emit fake crowd noise. If true, the Falcons will likely receive a fine and loss draft choice.

Today, I am very embarrassed for my team. I just hope we don't lose a first rounder for this.

No one cares, it's not the Patriots.

I remember the Ravens getting in trouble, years ago, when they would put that it was 3rd down up on the jumbotron.

The announcer was allowed to announce it over the PA system but, for some reason, they couldn't broadcast it on the big screen.

Probably, the Falcons are pretty irrelevant right now, anyways. FO is junk too, not just the HC.

I seem to remember the Colts being accused of doing this as well in the Hoosier Dome. Not sure what came of it.

I'd love to see them lose their first but I doubt it will be that bad.

Why you gotta bring up old shit?

Seattle has been piping in crowd noise for years and Indy was doing it as well when goober was playing there.

No big deal.
