The Seahawks have been accused of this in the past but nothing was ever proven. Louder the crowd, the harder it is for other teams to call plays or hear the snap count.

That 12th man noise-thing in Seattle may well be enhanced.

Aaron Hernandez & Roger Staubach
So the jury is now deliberating their verdict in the Aaron Hernandez murder trial. What we know:
- There is no murder weapon
- There is no witness to the murder
- There is no established motive for the murder
- The defense attorney is claiming Herdandez witnessed the murder
- There is a great deal of circumstantial evidence presented against Aaron Hernandez
My guess is it is more likely that he is cleared or we see a hung jury. It is difficult to convict someone of murder when you have no weapon, witness or motive. My gut tells me he did it but can't it be proven without a shadow of a doubt? No. Is it possible that his friends did it? Yes.
Even if he is cleared I don't think there is even a remote chance that he ever plays football again. Not with the damaging testimony of his drug usage while he was playing football. This whole trial has made the NFL brass look like a bunch of idiots.
I think the NFL needs a new commissioner. The should go and hire someone like Roger Staubach. The man is arguably the most talented QB to ever play the game and a proven winner on both the field and in the world of business. Not to mention that he is loved like few others in America. Everyone loves Roger and he would give the league a huge face lift.

I'm not sure that changing the commissioner will actually change all the shenanigans that go on, but bringing in someone who actually has a personality would go a long way to regaining public trust. People dislike Goodell because he is a smug SOB who isn't "approachable". Bringing in someone more "lovable" would be huge.
Let's be honest, the NFL is a money maker, regardless of who is running the show. So yes, the owners love money and might not want to disrupt that, but anyone could make money running the NFL.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Image alone though, it would be a huge face lift.

But he certainly has a lot of the qualities I would look for. And while he has passed on coaching opportunities to stay on TV, hard to believe he would pass up that job just to stay on TV.

He's been out six years. When is enough? The Raiders were rumored courting him to come back not too long ago and then there was this: http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/10/26/jon...akland-raiders
I don't think anyone who is in good health would turn down this job. Just the annual salary alone... Wow.
