Al Michaels is known for having quite the appetite. But the Amazon Prime announcer was not touching the sandwich served up to him during the Black Friday broadcast between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets.
Michaels called the Dolphins’ 34-13 win over the Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Michaels and partner Kirk Herbstreit were served a massive sandwich during the broadcast called “The Wedge Buster.” The creation made by renowned chef David Chang was a hodgepodge of Thanksgiving leftovers.
“I worked seven years with John Madden and we had turducken. I might have to duck this. .. Oh come on, get out of town. David, thank you, sort of,” said Michaels as he inspected the sandwich.

Michaels is famous for eating full meals during halftime and commercial breaks whenever he calls games. He’s also known for never eating vegetables, which explains Herbstreit’s comments about “green stuff” in the sandwich.
Chang did get some rave reviews for his sandwich from Dolphins Tyreek Hill and Christian Wilkins after the game.

Chang may have won over the Dolphins players, but he probably won’t be catering any of Michaels’ house parties anytime soon.
