Atlanta Falcons will get 'severe' sanctions for fake crown noise
Falcons owner Arthur Blank acknowledged in February that the team broke NFL rules by piping artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome over the past two seasons. He said what was done was "wrong," and affected the competitive balance and fairness on the field.
"Severe" discipline in these cases could be a hefty fine, a loss of a draft pick or picks, or other penalties. But, as one source said Wednesday and others verified, "it's coming soon."
