===Legal troubles=== In November 2003, McMahon was apprehended in [[Navarre, Florida]] for driving under the influence. "One breathalyzer exam put McMahon's blood-alcohol level at 0.261 percent, another put it at 0.258 percent. The legal limit in [[Florida]] is 0.08 percent," the [[Associated Press]] reported. "During a sobriety test, Mr. McMahon looked at the officer and said, 'I'm too drunk. You got me,'" a [[Santa Rosa County, Florida]] sheriff spokesperson said.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=1658175 "McMahon 'wasted' while driving"], Associated Press, November 9, 2003</ref> On April 9, 2012, it was reported that McMahon was targeted by the [[Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation]] (FDIC) for $104 million in bad loans made by [[Chicago]]-based [[Broadway Bank (Illinois)|Broadway Bank]], where McMahon was a member of the board. The FDIC sought to recover $104 million in loans made by the bank before it was shut down. In addition to McMahon, six other former Broadway Bank board members and two former bank executives were targeted. McMahon approved only one of the 17 bad loans, which was used for the purchase of a $28 million [[Miami Beach, Florida|Miami Beach]] condominium project. The FDIC said the bank lost $19.5 million on the loan. McMahon said in a statement that the FDIC's claims were without merit and he expected to be vindicated. "I am proud to have served as an outside, independent director for a brief part of the bank's history," he wrote, according to the ''Sun-Times''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.yahoo.com/blogs/chicago/feds-target-former-bears-qb-mcmahon-145949993.html/|title=Feds target former Bears QB McMahon|date=April 9, 2012 |access-date=January 14, 2017|archive-date=April 16, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416185849/https://news.yahoo.com/blogs/chicago/feds-target-former-bears-qb-mcmahon-145949993.html/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2016, the FDIC settled its lawsuit against the bank with a $5 million settlement.<ref>{{cite news |last=Novak |first=Tim |title=x-Bear Jim McMahon, Broadway Bank directors settle with FDIC |url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/2016/6/24/18426325/ex-bear-jim-mcmahon-broadway-bank-directors-settle-with-fdic |access-date=April 12, 2021 |work=Chicago Sun-Times |date=June 24, 2016 |archive-date=April 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412171144/https://chicago.suntimes.com/2016/6/24/18426325/ex-bear-jim-mcmahon-broadway-bank-directors-settle-with-fdic |url-status=live}}</ref>
