Mike Ditka farted on live television during ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” show before Monday night’s NFC East tilt featuring the New York Giants at the Philadelphia Eagles.

And yes, it was hilarious.

Cris Carter was talking about his time in Philly as they’re making their pre-game picks when Ditka just leaned slightly to his left and let it rip.

Carter couldn’t believe what had happened, Ditka just smiled and old pro Chris Berman just kept rolling right along, following the teleprompter.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Oh, but we did see. And we heard. And we laughed.

Truly, this moment was more entertaining than the actual game that was played afterward.
