Al Michaels has apparently never eaten a vegetable in his entire life

Legendary NFL broadcaster Al Michaels has accomplished a lot in his life, but apparently eating a vegetable isn’t on the list.

While speaking with CNN’s Chris Wallace, Michaels confirmed the longtime rumor about him that he’s never, to his knowledge, ever eaten a vegetable in his lifetime.

Yes, Michaels has apparently never had a vegetable, not a carrot, not a stalk of broccoli, not even a bit of lettuce. The longtime NFL broadcaster has never actually had any sort of vegetable enter his mouth as far as he’s aware.

Why, might you ask? From a young age, Michaels just never had a taste for them.

“I always pushed the vegetables away,” Michaels told Wallace. “To this day, no.”

Wow. Like, Michaels has never even had, like, a green bean? What about cauliflower? Even a green pea?

While we here at For the Win do not advise a diet that lacks in greens and other vegetables, it sounds like it’s working for Michaels.
