Fart scandal rips through John Calipari press conference

Ok, I think someone farted during a Kentucky press conference.

Bad gas and projectile vomiting are probably a journalist’s top fears while dozens are recording what’s usually boring coach-speak. Peeing is somewhere further down the list, because you can just run out and nobody would really care. Clearly I’ve put thought into this.

Anyway, this is a pretty unforgivable fart if it even is one, because it let out during coach John Calipari’s speech. Bummer. Everyone heard.

Kentucky PR is denying that it was a fart at all, stating instead that it was a “squeaky door,” according to SEC Country’s Kyle Tucker. Mhmm.

As if this case didn’t wreak of enough denial as it stands, here’s some more to spice things. There’s another fart video going around.

Neither of these farts are of the same magnitude as the alleged Mike Ditka rip, but this is a Friday afternoon and news is slow so we need to talk about something.

To recap:

Slide your answers in the comments.

And if you’re really into the farting controversy side of journalism, here’s the ESPN Halftime debate, Jim Tomsula debate and the case of Bud Black’s possible fart.
