Steelers vs patroits

151949 · ‎03-09-2010

Last night the NFL kicked off the 2015 season with a Steelers vs Patroits game at the patroits home stadium. And guess what - about half way into the first quarter - all the Steelers communications devices went out of commission and instead started playing some Patroits ad. Of course this did not happen to the patroits communication devices.

The Steelers lost - not because of this but more becauuse of bad decisions on Ben Roethlisber's part and a terrible terrible terrible kicker. But just wanted to note -- the cheating continues.

The NFL is saying they supplied the equipment though.

That one Steeler palyer said it is not unusual for this to happen at their (NE)stadium. Sure sounds suspicious to me.

I loved Michael Strahan's comment about the whole issue with the suspensions, etc. this morning. He was right spot on.

It's gossip and inuendo that ruins games and sore losers looking for a reason why their team did not win. Here is the official release and we should leave it at that:

The statement from NFL spokesman Michael Signora is below.

“In the first quarter of tonight’s game, the Pittsburgh coaches experienced interference in their headsets caused by a stadium power infrastructure issue, which was exacerbated by the inclement weather. The coaches’ communications equipment, including the headsets, is provided by the NFL for both clubs use on game day. Once the power issue was addressed, the equipment functioned properly with no additional issues.”

NBC sideline reporter Michele Tafoya added on Thursday’s broadcast that the communications issue was with Pittsburgh’s coach-to-coach headsets and that New England’s headsets were shut off while the situation was being resolved. Apparently, that’s the normal procedure for such malfunctions.

Other teams play each other and you never hear of issues such as this consistently happening when you play NE at home. The equipment can be controlled by the NFL, but the frequencies are still open for manipulation........

I have to admit I did wonder if the ball was inflated properly.....

The NFL provided the headsets but the hook up they were plugged in to was the stadium. oddly - the Patroits are claiming it was caused by the weather - BUT only on the Steelers side of the stadium. I guess it wasn't raining on the patroits side eh? Also - per MSN - when a rep from the NFL finally went to the patroits and said they had to turn their headsets off , it all miraculously cleared up but then as soon as the NFL rep left - it went right back on. WAY WAY WAY too suspicious.
