Sportscaster Al Michaels was arrested for driving under the influence after he was stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Santa Monica.

Michaels, a longtime announcer on NBC's "Sunday Night Football," was arrested about 10 p.m. Friday, booked into jail and released on his own recognizance early Saturday, according to CNN.

"He was evaluated for suspicion of DUI, brought to the station for a Breathalyzer test, and it came out .08, which was at the legal limit, so he was released on a citation at about 3 or 4 in the morning,'' Sgt. William Heric told City News Service. "He was cooperative and polite the whole time.''

He was at the legal limit but they kept him over night anyway?

Depends on the state. But here in NC the laws are some of the toughest. They'll throw your ass under the jail. And a .08 will get you convicted 99% of the time. Think the law changed here in Jan. you do time for the first offense.

Below .08 is "ok." .08 and above, you are screwed.

It said he was stopped at 10pm. Must have had some obvious sign of impairment and then failed field sobriety test. Was then taken back to station where he blew the .08. (Maybe trying to give him time to drop?) Was processed and released about 3-4 am.

    • Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season 
    • I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win. 
    • I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
