Baltimore Ravens’ Rolando McClain Arrested (Again!)

Baltimore Ravens' Rolando McClain Arrested AgainNFL linebacker Rolando McClain can’t keep himself out of trouble.  WHNT news passes along that the Decatur, Ala., police confirmed that the Baltimore Raven was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

‘Not receptive to the order’

The alleged incident took place at Pines Park. As WHNT explains, according to information from eyewitnesses, officers ordered McClain and several others to leave the park when a large crowd was gathering. McClain was not receptive to the order. He reportedly refused while using some expletives. He was handcuffed and transported to jail before being bonded out.

This, of course, is not the first time McClain has found himself in a bit of legal hot water.  In 2011, he made headlines when he was arrested, and eventually convicted, for assault and other charges “when he allegedly threatened to kill a man and fired a gun next to his head.”


‘Trying to salvage his NFL career’

He was arrested again this past January after he was pulled over for his window tinting. He had some more colorful language for the authorities when signing the ticket, which got him in trouble for providing a false name. All three of those arrests have come at the hands of the Decatur police.

The former No. 8 overall selection is a player who is trying to salvage his NFL career after being released by the Raiders earlier this offseason.

Should the Ravens cut him out of the team now? Anybody else got the feeling that this won’t be the last time that Rolando McClain gets himself in trouble?

NBC Sportscaster Al Michaels Arrested On DUI Charge

NBC Sportscaster Al Michaels Arrested On DUI ChargeAccording to a report from TMZ, sportscaster Al Michaels was arrested on Friday night for suspicion of DUI.

‘Field sobriety’

Al Michaels – perhaps the most well-known sportscaster in the world — was arrested Friday night for suspicion of DUI … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Michaels went through a DUI checkpoint in Santa Monica at approximately 10:00 PM on Friday and when he spoke to officers, they detected an odor of alcohol.

We’re told he was pulled over and given a field sobriety and after performing poorly, he was placed under arrest. Michaels was released from jail at 4:15 AM on Saturday on his own recognizance.


‘Reportedly cooperative’

Via TMZ’s report, Michaels posted a “.08 and a .09 in two breathalyzer tests.” The legal blood-alcohol content in most states is 0.08. He was also reportedly cooperative with law enforcement agents.

Michaels is one of the most famous sports announcers in the country and currently handles the play-by-play duties for the Sunday Night Football broadcasts alongside former NFL player Cris Collinsworth, a post he took in 2006.

Do you think NBC should take some disciplinary action against Al Michaels for getting arrested for DUI? Or should they just give the man a break?
