“How do you simulate the crowd noise”: Bill Belichick's Humorous Jab at the Colts for Faking Crowd Enthusiasm

Bill Belichick, the future first ballot Hall of Fame head coach, has been a controversial figure in the NFL, appearing on numerous shows and podcasts. After the 2023-2024 NFL season, the New England Patriots parted ways with Belichick, and the team moved on to Jerod Mayo. Belichick's most notable media appearance is his weekly appearance on 'The ManningCast' with Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, during every Monday Night Football game.
The love-hate relationship between Belichick and Manning is expected to continue. Peyton Manning asked Bill about adjusting to noise at a loud Arrowhead Stadium during the MNF game. Bill responded with a light, humorous jab at the Colts for faking crowd enthusiasm, highlighting the importance of noise acclimatization.

Bill Belichick's Patriots and Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts have had numerous legendary battles during the Brady vs. Manning era. Bill Belichick has been accused of cheating on and off the field during his 20+ season tenure. However, during Monday Night Football's showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints, he claimed that the Colts did their fair share of cheating, especially when he, Brady, and the Patriots would roll into town. Peyton and Belichick shared a hilarious interaction, joking about Peyton's Colts piping in crowd noise during their historic battles against the Patriots.
"With this crowd noise, Bill, how do you simulate the crowd noise when you're playing these guys?," Peyton asked Belichick. "Well, I'll tell ya, Peyton, the crowd noise there at Arrowhead [Stadium] wasn't as bad as it was when you guys piped in music at the RCA Dome," Belichick jokingly responded. "Then when the crowd noise skipped, that's how we knew you guys were pumping it in.”
Belichick, a former Patriots quarterback, has been busy in his post-coaching career, including serving as a strategic advisor for 'The 33rd Team', appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, analyzing games on 'Inside The NFL,' hosting his own show with Underdog Fantasy, and joining Jim Gray on the 'Lets Go!' podcast. He also appears on 'The ManningCast' with Peyton and Eli during Monday Night Football games during the 2024-2025 season.
