I'm always fascinated when people point the finger at celebrities for their shortcomings, like they are somehow above it all.
Brett Favre comes to mind when it came out that he was addicted to vicodin. "Oh...My...God, Favre's a junkie?" The fact is that a multitude of NFL players and ex-players have to take those meds because of the damage the game has done to their bodies.
Then again, there are a lot of people that enjoy seeing the mighty fall. The Enquirer, Tattler and Globe have made fortunes from it.

Re: Al Michaels charged with DUI
I read an interview with Al Michaels years ago and he claimed that he despises vegetables, and only eats meat and one veggie, potatoes. Said he exercises regularly and gets all his vitamins via pills. I guess he was adding a little extra sugar to his diet and it caught up with him. Still one of my favorite commentators of all time."There ought to be a room in every house to swear in. It's dangerous to have to repress an emotion like that." - Mark Twain
