The Darndest Things Seem To Happen In Cleveland

[.GR]

There are other ways teams cheat besides the Patriots' videotaping espionage. We blew the whistle on the crowd noise that was being amplified illegally in Indianapolis by the Colts three years ago, and they stopped doing it.

Here's another: Steelers players say privately that whenever they play in Cleveland, they almost always have problems with the communicator in the quarterback's helmet.

The system is used so a coach can call the plays without signaling them in or sending in a messenger guard. He merely barks the play call into the quarterback's helmet. A new rule this year allows the defense to have such a helmet, too.

Funny how they always crash in Cleveland, the players say. We were told to watch Ben Roethlisberger often looking at the plays on his wrist/forearm in Cleveland because the receiver on his helmet did not work, and his coach had to signal a play. It's one reason Steelers QBs have the plays on a sheet wrapped around their forearm.

Lol, and is it even possible to do that this year? I mean, wouldn't that <Censored> up your own headsets too if they were using something to break of the signal...
