Jaguars GM Trent Baalke made major waves during an offseason press conference on Thursday, going viral for all the wrong reasons. He spoke to the media this week to give a preview of the team as it moves closer towards the 2024 campaign.
While providing those updates, he gave the audience a little more than they’d bargained for. Baalke ripped a loud fart for everyone to hear!
Or at least it sounded that way.
While fielding a question on the coming season, the alleged gas was passed. Just mid-response, as if he wasn’t sitting in front of a crowd full of listeners.

Not a care in the world! He even appears to say, “Excuse me,” immediately after the fart slipped out, seemingly confirming the toot while one-upping Dan Orlovsky in the process.
Online followers were quick to chime in.
“I can’t wait to reach this level of IDGAF.”
“Excuse me… did Trent Baalke just fart?? Orlovsky is off the hook.”
“Bro!!! He even stopped talking just to let it rip.”
“At least he said, ‘excuse me.'”
When he wasn’t breaking wind, Baalke spoke on some of the more important issues surrounding the franchise this spring.
Those included QB Trevor Lawrence’s contract status and the possibility of an extension, as well as the upcoming NFL Draft. I’m not sure anyone was able to take that information seriously after hearing the fart.
