Jim McMahon arrested for DUI

Navarre, FL (Sports Network) - Former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol early Sunday morning.

According to Santa Rosa County sheriff's spokesperson Jerry Henderson, police received two calls about a pickup carelessly driving through traffic and nearly causing accidents. McMahon apparently swerved across the center line of a highway before being stopped by the authorities.

The former BYU standout failed a field sobriety test and had a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit in Florida.

McMahon, who led the Chicago Bears to their only Super Bowl title, posted a $500 bond and was released from Santa Rosa County jail later on Sunday. He is expected to be in court on Monday.

McMahon passed for 18,148 yards in 119 NFL games. His best season was 1985, when he set career highs in yards (2,392) and touchdowns (15) for the Bears, who finished 15-1 and defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX.

He also spent time with San Diego, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Arizona, Cleveland and Green Bay.

Super Bowl shuffle.

[cmsgop]

I hate you! I was gonna say that!...... :*)

[DCBryan1]

Ha ha!

He is as worthless now as he was then.

[Stew Padasso]

The guy was a nut and perfect for that team. Excuse me, Super Bowl champs.

However, getting arrested for DUI is sheer stupidity (especially at his age).

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Chorus
We are the Bears Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone.
We're not here to start not trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Walter Payton
Well, they call me Sweetness,
And I like to dance.
Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance.
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
And we're not doin' this
Because we're greedy.
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.
We didn't come here to look for trouble,
We just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Willie Gault
This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class.
I like runnin' but i love to get the pass.
I practice all day and dance all night,
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight.
Now I'm as smooth as a chocolate swirl,
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl.
There's not one here that does it like me,
My Super Bowl Shuffle will set you free.

Mike Singletary
I'm Samurai Mike I stop'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold,
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style,
Give me a chance, I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do The Super Bowl Shuffle

(Repeat Chorus)

Jim McMahon
I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon.
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan.
I just throw my body all over the field.
I can't dance, but I can throw the pill.
I motivate the cats, I like to tease.
I play so cool, I aim to please.
That's why you all got here on the double
To catch me doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Otis Wilson
I'm mama's boy Otis, one of a kind.
The ladies all love me
For my body and my mind.
I'm slick on the floor as I can be
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me.
Some guys are jealous
Of my style and class,
That's why some end up on their -,
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just get down to The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Steve Fuller
They say Jimbo is our man.
If Jimmy can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas,
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather his ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Mike Richardson
I'm L.A. Mike, and I play it cool.
They don't sneak by me 'cause I'm no fool.
I fly on the field and get on down.
Everybody knows I don't mess around.
I can break'em, shake'em,
Any time of day.
I like to steal it and make 'em pay,
So please don't cry to beat my hustle
'Cause I'm just here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Repeat Chorus)

Richard Dent
The sackman's comin', I'm your man Dent.
if the quarterback's slow,
He's gonna get bent.
We stop the run, we stop the pass,
I like to dump guys on their -.
We love to play for the world's best fans,
You better start makin'
Your Super Bowl plans.
But don't get ready or go to any trouble
Unless you practice
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Gary Fencik
It's Gary here, and I'm Mr.Clean.
They call me "hit man,"
Don't know what they mean.
They throw it long and watch me run,
I'm on my man, one-on-one.
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone,
That's why they call us the 46 zone.
Come on everybody let's scream and yell,
We're goin' to do the Shuffle,
Then ring your bell.

William Perry
You're lookin' at the Fridge,
I'm the rookie.
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run,
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
I can dance, you will see
The others, they all learn from me.
I don't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Repeat Chorus)

[dixie sass]

Is this why they get paid multi-millions?

[NYC GOP Chick]

Yes, that and those boffo dance moves from that video. Oh, and also McMahon's fey WHAM-like headbands/sweatbands.

[Gabz]

Can someone explain why this should even be news?????

[FreedomPoster]

Should be in chat AFAIAC.

[Richard Kimball]

Can someone explain why this should even be news?????

Assuming you weren't asking a rhetorical question, many people take football seriously, and because they followed McMahon's career, care what happened to him. Others enjoy watching successful people getting taken down a notch. For some, it fills the quiet and pointless hours of their lives to live vicariously through others.

I like it because it apparently annoys people who believe that because they aren't interested in something, that no one else should be.

[Gabz]

I don't know if it was a rhetorical question or not.

Others enjoy watching successful people getting taken down a notch.

I guess maybe that's what gets me. I could see it if he was accused of pilfering from the local volunteer fire company's kiddie football fund, because that would be related to why he is famous. But unless I'm missing something, like a fatality involved, I don't see what the big deal is here.

I like it because it apparently annoys people who believe that because they aren't interested in something, that no one else should be.

Good attitude. I don't think that is what prompted my question, because I generally don't bother with topics that don't interest me. But what ever my initial curiosity, I appreciate your explanation. I guess I just don't understand the mindset of people that sometimes even seem gleeful of the misfortunes of others - even if they are famous.

[NeoCaveman]

I guess I just don't understand the mindset of people that sometimes even seem gleeful of the misfortunes of others - even if they are famous.

Taking pleasure in the problems of the rich and or famous is rooted in envy. I have many bad habits but not that one.

[Azzurri]

The '85 Bears were very good, but the '70s Steelers would've spanked them bad.

[battlegearboat]

I'd put the '03 Oklahoma Sooners up against any team of all time.

[Stew Padasso]

It's news for Chicago Bears fans (and a blast from the past). Maybe there is a Jessica Lynch thread to your liking?

[Stew Padasso]

Defense wins Super Bowls. And the Bears were the best (85 Bears). That would be a good game though.

[lorrainer]

Florida! I KNEW it had to be a state other than Illinois....
