Lost in all the Super Bowl hoopla, and the regular crap that rolls out of Deion Sanders mouth, we somehow glanced over the accusation he threw Indy's way on Sunday. He accused the Colts of stealing signals during games, and using them.
So the NFL knew about it, but they didn't let the public know (trying to cover their backsides). Obviously this is a point of concern that the NFL is withholding information from people, and only releasing it to certain groups.
The good news is we have Tony Dungy to calm the waters
Sanders, an analyst for NFL Network, made the comments after Sunday's Super Bowl about the Colts cheating when colleague LaDainian Tomlinson said some might question New England's success because of Spygate, the 2007 incident in which the Patriots broke the rules by videotaping the opposition's signals from an unauthorized location.
"Those same critics, did they say anything about the wins that the Indianapolis Colts had? You want to talk about that, too? Because they were getting everybody's signals," Sanders said on NFL Network. "Come on, you don't walk up to the line and look over here and the man on the sideline giving you the defense that they've stolen the plays of. We all knew. L.T. knew. Everybody in the NFL knew. We just didn't let the fans know. That was real and that was happening in Indy."
Tony Dungy says Indianapolis Colts stole signals but didn't cheat

Dungy was on Pro Football Talk Live on Wednesday to explain that the Colts, like all other teams, did steal signals, but never cheated.
"I think we have to go back to what is cheating," Dungy said. "People accusing us of cheating? I don't think that's the case. Stealing signals? You can go back to the 1800s in baseball, you can go anywhere there were signals done, and people were looking and watching and trying to get signals."
