Rich guys getting DUI's...never did get that. Al Michaels just got nabbed.

(CNN) -- The man revered for yelling "Do you believe in miracles?" as the U.S. hockey team upset the mighty Soviets in the 1980 Winter Olympics was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI in Southern California on Friday night, Santa Monica police said.

Sgt. Ryan Gradle said Michaels, the current play-by-play announcer for NBC's "Sunday Night Football," was extremely cooperative and was released on his own recognizance Saturday morning.

Michaels was arrested shortly before 10 p.m., then spent a little more than five hours in the Santa Monica City Jail, the Los Angeles Inmate Information Center said.

That being said, I don't know what his blood alcohol level was, but the .08 legal limit is low enough that some people are not actually impaired at that level.

Even so, as I advise my friends and family, you can go a long way in a cab for the cost of a DUI. Don't take chances with your driving record or the safety of others.
