Mike Ditka, Did You Just Fart On Live TV?? C'mon Man.

Mike Ditka might wanna check for holes in his undies this morning ... 'cause it sounded like he RIPPED A GALE FORCE STINKER right on Cris Carter last night.

The two were doing their thing on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown" when Da Coach pulled the 'ol fart lean move -- and you can hear what sounds like Ditka just letting one rip.

Carter starts to crack up ... the whole thing is pretty funny.

Don't worry Mike -- you're not the only legend who's been caught farting on live TV ... right Whoopi?
