ESPN Covers Up Bush Boos on MNF

This blogger on the Daily Kos makes a claim that ESPN covered up the crowd in the Superdome booing George Bush Sr. when he came onto the field for Monday's coin toss. "It started with right winger Mike Tirico announcing George Bush Sr. to the crowd. Instantaneously you could hear an echo of cheers and not a single boo from the audio. But if you listen carefully to the audio, that audio was not live. ESPN shut off the sound of the Superdome crowd for a few seconds and played this audio of fake cheers. About ten seconds later ESPN had to shut their fake tape off and go to the NFL official on the field for the coin toss. That's when you could hear the REAL crowd noise." I actually noticed this too -- I was expecting the New Orleans crowd to boo Bush Sr., and was surprised at the cheers. When the noise changed to boos, I was confused. This clears it up if it's true -- and I can't say I doubt it.
