NFL Star Popped for DUI at McD's

Posted May 13th 2008 4:27PM by TMZ Staff

Seattle Seahawks star Lofa Tatupu was arrested early Saturday morning for DUI after he was pulled over in a McDonald's parking lot. That order is to go!

Tatupu, a three-time Pro Bowler, allegedly failed a breathalyzer test after he blew a .155 and .158 -- nearly twice the legal limit in the state of Washington.

Tatupu just recently signed a new six-year contract worth $40 mil -- so the attorney fees should be covered.

The Seahawks had no comment.

1. When you plan on drinking and driving, in the plan you should also include the possibility of getting caught. Watch the TV commercials...You drink, you drive, you go to jail. That statement does not exclude the Seattle Seahawks players.

9. just because he was tipsy doesn't make him a drunk. he couldn't be a 3 time pro-bowler if he was a drunk. he's the best player on the seahawks and is going to help them go all the way to the super bowl this year!

12. Is this guy even famous outside a little niche audience in Seattle? Serious TMZ, quit wasting my time with all these BS fluff stories just so you're able to say you provide content on a continuous basis.

I saw this story and the first thing that came to mind was, "Who gives a Sh!t"

14. #12 Is this guy even famous outside a little niche audience in Seattle? how about "who gives a Sh!t on what you think!" Tatupu is one of the best players in NFL.

15. To #5 you are an idiot. This couldn't happen to anyone. Not everyone makes the choice to drink and drive. It'll never happen to me. I refuse to endanger my life or someone elses life for a few drinks. When my hubby and I go out we decide who's driving and who's drinking. This loser was twice the legal limit. He wasn't just buzzed. Another braindead football player.
