Before you flood the Uproxx Twitter account and e-mail inbox with angry responses, no, we are not making fun of an adorable child farting on national television during the Steelers-Broncos divisional round playoff game.
What we are doing, however, is laughing because of a fart sound that occurred while children were on television, which is totally different.
The kids were on the field because they were being honored for their participation in flag football. After Jim Nantz waxed poetically about the kids and whatnot, there was a pause, then a loud noise that could have been anything…but it’s way funnier if we pretend it was a fart.
And it’s funnier still if we pretend it was Phil Simms that let it rip.
Phil Simms may have farted. We can’t say for sure one way or the other.
Before you call us immature, we were not the only ones that stepped on the gas to make a fart joke.
Raiders punter Marquette King did not remain silent when delivering a deadly tweet.

That’s not the only place where the wind was blowing on this possible fart.
Did Phil Simms just lay a massive fart?

Did one of those NFL flag kids just fart into the camera mic? 😂

Sports are fun and so are farts. Embrace Sports Fart Twitter.
The Broncos offense has been one big fart noise all game so this was the most fitting thing that could have happened.
