Mike Ditka denies ripping fart on live TV

Mike Ditka has officially denied it, so does that mean he supplied it?

After a video that appeared to show Ditka breaking wind on live television during ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” went viral, the legendary NFL coach told The Chicago Sun-Times that the rumbling noise didn’t come from him.

“It wasn’t me,” he said. “Believe me, I’m to the point in my life where it doesn’t matter. One day I’ll be happy if I can leave a fart. Right now, it wasn’t me. I don’t care what they think. They can think anything they want.”

If you haven’t seen the video, you can watch it here and decide for yourself if Ditka is telling the truth.

While I want to believe that a 76-year-old man would have no shame, it should be noted that the “I’d admit it if it was me” excuse is one of the oldest in the book. Sorry, coach, but I’m just not convinced.
