Al Michaels – one of the most well-known sportscasters and history and the man revered for yelling “Do you believe in miracles?” as the U.S. hockey team upset the Soviets in the 1980 Winter Olympics, was arrested Friday night for suspicion of DUI, according to Santa Monica police.
Law enforcement tells TMZ that Michaels went through a DUI checkpoint in Santa Monica around 10:00 pm on Friday and when he spoke to officers, they smelled alcohol on his breath.
Michaels was pulled over and given a field sobriety test and after doing poorly, he was placed under arrest. The NBC announcer was released from jail at 4:15 am on Saturday.
Michaels was the play-by-play announcer for “Monday Night Footlball” for 20 years before switching over to “Sunday Night Football.”
