Thanksgiving meal choices and favorite dishes are frequent sources for debate, especially on sports TV and radio. And perhaps no current sports media personality’s food choices are more polarizing than those of ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that these two dynamics collided in memorable fashion on ESPN’s First Take on Friday after Thanksgiving. When the topic of Thanksgiving meals came up, Orlovsky gave an answer that tested the resolve of both Ryan Clark and Stephen A. Smith.
“I didn’t eat a lot of turkey. I didn’t eat a lot of Thanksgiving food,” Orlovsky admitted. “I went like macaroni and cheese, and Caesar salad.”
