Would this shite fly today?

And could they have really charged the team a timeout for that?

I remember they tried to penalize the Saints one year because the Superdome crowd was being too loud. It was a pretty stupid rule.

And of course Phil Simms completely agrees with it.

He was an idiot back then, too. Comforting to see that some things don't change.

It was a game against the Giants and Phil Simms was the QB. He would get under center and ten step out pointing at his ears. I think the red did penalize the Saints.

I'm pretty sure it used to be a rule that the crowd couldn't be so loud as to keep the visiting team from hearing calls at the line.

The rule was put into place because of the Superdome. It was retarded.
