Al Michaels arrested for DUI
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/21/us/al-michaels-arrest/
Legendary sportscaster Al Michaels arrested, charged with DUI (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. He's scheduled to appear at Los Angeles Municipal Court at 8:30 a.m. on June 26. Neither Michaels nor NBC had immediate comment. CNN has reached out to Michaels' representatives for a response. |

I'm not getting why everyone has this "egotistical asshole" opinion of him, i've never once gotten that vibe from him, as far as i'm concerned he's one of the classiest and best in the biz.

Yeah, I've never had a problem with him. I can't think of many broadcasters I prefer more actually.

Yep, he's probably my favorite as well... he knows exactly what he's talking about at all times, but never tries to talk over or dominate his partners, he knows when to shut up and let someone else go or just let the broadcast breathe a little bit.
