While WFAN’s Mike Francesa may be losing in the actual ratings, he seems to be winning in at least one form of hot air. On his on-app Mike’s On show Monday morning, Francesa delivered some criticism of New York Jets’ coach Adam Gase, but what’s more interesting is the noise at 0:18, which sure sounds like a fart:

That led to a New York Daily News story of “Mike Francesa appears to rip fart while ripping Adam Gase,” by Dennis Young, and that in turn led to Francesa spending a lot of time on his regular WFAN afternoon show (3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Eastern) discussing that story:

Francesa just called everyone “morons” and then reads headline “Mike Francesa rips Fart while ripping Adam Gase.”

Look, at this point, it really doesn’t matter if it was Francesa’s fart or the fart of someone else that was captured on the stream here; it’s just very funny that this happened. And really, a loud fart isn’t the worst possible commentary on Gase’s coaching tenure, especially after the Jets lost to a team that was trying to lose. But it is definitely funny to see The Sports Pope spend a fair bit of his radio show addressing if he did or did not fart on air.
