NAVARRE, Fla. -- Former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon was arrested early Sunday on a DUI charge, according to Santa Rosa County sheriff's officials.

McMahon, the flamboyant leader of the Chicago Bears team that won the 1986 Super Bowl, was stopped at about 1 a.m., Chicago time, after two people called and reported that a pickup was recklessly going through traffic and nearly causing accidents, said sheriff's spokesman Jerry Henderson.

McMahon failed a field sobriety test and had a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit in Florida, Henderson said. One Breathalyzer exam put McMahon's blood-alcohol level at 0.261; another put it at 0.258. The legal limit in Florida is 0.08....

COMMENTARY By RICK MORRISSEY
CHICAGO - Let me start by saying I don't know Jim McMahon, although I have seen more of him than most men would care to.
