This story broke on Saturday / Sunday - that the falcons have been pumping in crowd noise - and I've heard next to nothing on it. No articles, nothing on tv, nothing on radio. I have seen more on Johnny Manziel going to rehab over this.

Atlanta should not be allowed to have teams until they can prove they can contain crime. Put them on the resettlement train. If they live, they live, if they die, it is OK.

Those dumb asses thought Michael Vick was great. LOL

Arthur Blank angry, embarrassed about crowd noise investigation

Falcons owner Arthur Blank is not pleased with the news that the Falcons are being investigated for pumping in fake crowd noise at the Georgia Dome, in violation of NFL rules.

Blank told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he was “angry and embarrassed” about the noise investigation.

Blank’s comments would seem to indicate that there’s been at least some finding of wrongdoing by someone affiliated with the team. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the NFL is expected to discipline the Falcons with a fine, the loss of a draft pick, or both.

The Falcons are accused of using fake crowd noise during home games in 2013 and 2014, presumably to make it harder for opposing offenses to call their signals. There has been no word on which Falcons employees were responsible for the scheme, but if Blank is angry and embarrassed by those employees’ actions, then those employees should probably start looking for other work.

The irony here is 2013 and 2014 were below average seasons for the Falcons which is why they have a new coach........Obviously, in 2012 they played in the NFC Championship Game.

People only care about winners. Losers cheating just makes the team more embarrassing. No offense Falcon fans. I'm a skins fan, so I know losing.

Your question should be why do some teams admit wrongdoing when caught red-handed and others lie and deny

That is what happens when you trade 3 first round picks to draft a running back you think is a quarterback.
