I guess I'll be the dude to say it despite him not being an athlete: Joe Paterno :francis:

Does Michael Vick count? He did comeback for a little while afterwards though.

Came to say this. Despite having a little success after jail, his image was and is beyond recovery in the mainstream. He was what Cam was last year times 10 before the dog fighting shyt came out. Usually winning makes all the negatives go away but not in his case.

You could name a bunch of guys who became the face of the MLB steroids era. Pete Rose as well.

No doubt it's tiger woods. Dude was on his way to stealing the most majors. He hasn't had one in what like 5 years?

It's the truth. To even have a fall from grace you have to have some type of success. People on a message board (including me) should not be talking about falls from grace of you haven't accomplished anything close to that level (like you)

don't like being reminded of reality huh?

:pachaha:That your life is passing you by and you haven't accomplished near what other human beings have (who also started from nothing) yet you can make threads about falls from grace :pachaha:

God I can't stand these fake-woke ass posters. Why are you even on the coli then? Here we talk about sports, music, entertainment, etc. By your definition, we are all just people talking about those who have accomplished "more" in life than we have. What's the difference between discussing their falls from grace and discussing their accomplishments since we're all just meager peasants in their eyes? Why not just delete your username on here, remove all hobbies, entertainment, and interests from your life and focus SOLELY on your profession 24 hours a day?

I swear man I have a special disdain for you loser ass posters.. you and that other fake-woke scrub Dr X or whatever

Gotta be Tiger, but mostly because he had gotten to heights nobody else listed here had gotten.

Maybe Tyson, but even he became heavyweight champion again.

Rousey and it's not even close. She was called one of the greatest athletes ever after beating up on soccer moms and yoga instructors for 2-3 years. Had movie roles despite her awful acting, celebrities praising her, sports analyst and commentators exaggerating her talent(can beat up Mayweather), and was the face of the UFC.

Far from the top, but honorable mention: Tim Lincecum. Wasn't all that long ago he was winning back-to-back Cys, throwing heat and a 12-6 curve. Next thing you knew, he was a junkball-tossing long man in the postseason. Mad fun to watch when he was on top of his game.

And sticking with the diamond - Raffy Palmeiro. One of 5 players (4 at the time) in the 3000/500 club, shoo-in HOFer, pristine rep on/off the field. Got busted barely a week after his 3,000 hit, and that was basically the end of his chapter. The finger wagging show at Congress before that season just adds some depth to the fall.
