Trying to nail the ColtsFollow

gee, pumping artificial noise into an arena located in "napville".

imagine that

It was equally obvious that some sound person realized what was happening and shut off the feed after a second or so (which is why the crowd noise suddenly stopped).

Maybe, but probably not. It's exceptionally common for TV sports broadcasts to add synthetic sounds to productions. Fake crowd noise, fake baseball bat cracks, fake bird noises on golf courses, whatever.

Sure. But that's added to the broadcast. The allegation was that they were actually piping extra crowd noise into the stadium itself. I'm reasonably certain that if the kind of feedback/echo sound we heard on TV was actually present in the stadium someone would have noticed...

Really? And how many sports telecasts have you been a part of?

I work in TV, and I have been a part of several College sports games. Either in person or while on speaker phone. Granted it wasn't Pro sports, but I have been on Conference calls with CBS several times listening in on the Directors of such games.

And I have never seen or heard any Director doing such things >.>

Any Synthetic sound you hear on a sports telecast is produced and used during bumps, billboards or Special effects graphics. Not during the games, themselves.

Now granted, I was not there. So I can't say undeniably that the production crew didn't do such a thing.

But saying that it is "Common"?, give me a break man! Who in the hell are you kidding with that??? It's far from common on any level. >.>

Also, let it be known that I @#%^ing hate CBS!!! They are a bunch of idiotic @#%^s. Who are beyond arrogant, do things *** backwards from the other networks, and blame local stations for their ***** ups instead of admiting they did wrong. And on top of that, none of their affiliate reps are polite at all. Are they the only ppl in NYC who constantly have a chip on their shoulder or what? I've met and talked to several ppl from NYC and none of them act as disrespectfully as the ppl working at CBS.

So if CBS actually did that on purpose, either be having the production crew do it or by themselves, it would make me laugh at yet another CBS arrogant move. But I doubt they did, even as stupid as CBS is.

It's far from common man.

Deafeningly loud? Sure. But that's not the same as "strange feedback warble where the crowd noise is obviously distorted back into itself".

You notice that. It's distinctive. Seriously. Anyone who's done *any* AV work at any level can instantly recognize it and no one hearing it can miss it (unless they're deaf). If the sound we heard for about a second on the TV broadcast were actually being pumped into the stadium, you wouldn't have a number of players saying the sound was deafening. You'd have every single person in that stadium standing around wondering what that really weird sound was.

Only the people watching the game on TV heard it. Therefore it *wasn't* being pumped into the stadium and therefore can't be evidence of any sort of crowd noise amplification. Kinda obvious logic, but sometimes people don't get the really obvious...

Eh.. Debby does Dallas 2?

Well, good luck with that.

Um... When I say:



And it's replied to with:




It certainly appears as though he's saying that the two events were somehow directly related. Maybe *you* understand that they aren't. But clearly some people don't get that. Otherwise he would not have said what he said. He is clearly arguing that the deafening loundness heard in the stadium was evidence of someone noticing the kind of feedback/echo sound heard on TV.


It's not exactly hard to follow. I say something. He responds to that. Try to keep up man.

Um... Yeah. Clearly.

You really do live up to that lunatic title, don't you? ;)

Lol! You're kidding right? This is some joke, and there are some guys with cameras waiting to pop out of the bushes or something?


Me and me alone? Smash. I hate to intrude into your delusional state, but there is no other way to interpret what he said. None. Nada. There is no way to read his response as anything other then a belief that the players who were complaining about the deafening noise had heard the feedback noise that we heard on TV.


It's not like this is written in code Smash. He wrote in clear English. There's no way to misinterpret his meaning. Unless your name happens to be Smasharoo I suppose.

What I really don't get is why you feel such a strong need to even make this point. What do you get out of this? What makes you read what is to me (and I assume everyone else reading this thread) a very obvious series of statements and replies, but for some reason you must insist that people aren't actually saying what they clearly said. It's not like you're clearing anything up. You're just being disruptive I guess.

/boggle

Gbaji, you are an idiot.

Since there's no way to explain it to you, that's all I have to say.

And before I head out for the day, let me just add one more thing.

This has got to be the most bizarre and insane argument yet. I swear it's like Smash is so determined to oppose anything I say that if I pointed to a green light and said "that light is green", Smash would respond with some diatribe about how that light is really red, and every single person in the universe except me could see it and then proceed to keep arguing this point over and over.

And then, for some totally unknown reason, Tricky would appear and call me an idiot for insisting that the green light really is green. That's just icing on the cake I guess.

Well. They don't call this the asylum for nothing I guess...

i think you need to adjust your seat.

the other 2 posters were spot on.

Smash is so determined to oppose anything I say

Hi, moron.

I'm not opposing anything you said particularly on this thread. I was merely pointing out that you have a chronic problem misunderstanding others posts.

The only conclusion anyone else drew from


you mean like the players that stated that it was deafeningly loud in the stadium? this isnt the first time that they've been accussed of this.

is that the TV broadcast may be a red herring when it comes to the question of if the Colts added noise or not. Not one person has seen it otherwise, including now, the guy who posted it.

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE.

Regardless of your bizarre paranoid fantasy of me stalking your every post feverishly disagreeing out of pure spite, the facts are the facts. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT IT MEANT SOMETHING IT CLEARLY DID NOT.

Think it through and consider asking for clarification next time. You're ability to interpret meaning is clearly handicapped in some way, but that doesn't mean you can't add useless drivel to the appropriate conversation instead of an imaginary one.
