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.

    • Sure, but I have long acknowledged he got better.  He went from horrific to mid-lower end starter.  But now you can’t say that…..you got people wanting to spin top 10 play if you look at it this way, great deep ball passer if you only acknowledge x.   I mean the headline in that article is nice for fans to run with.   But in reality Bryce Young was not the best deep passer in week 12.  Far from it.  He went 2 of 7 with no TDs deep.  The week was full of guy who went something along the lines of 3 of 4 with a bomb TD.   So Bryce then gets appointed best deep passer for say….plays like a 50/50 jump ball while trailing late to a fully covered AT that goes incomplete but could have been something given how the defender played it….not an actual good play.  But that could have been a good play.  I mean, same play could have been a pick if everything else was the same and the defender who had AT blanketed played the ball better (nothing changes for Bryce in terms of what he did.  It’s just a 50/50ish ball to someone covered)….and his entire best deep passer week 12 is built off plays that never happened over guys that actually got it done.   we should be happy Bryce with from shouldn’t of been drafted play to serviceable starter last year.  But all this spin that he is somehow actually sneaky great just ain’t something I’m doing yet 
    • Why are they trading for more wide receivers?  They already have Mingo on the roster.
    • Tomlins track record with wide receivers is bar none.  If he is done with you that is a sign.
