ya but is he trained in mma?

roger federer comes out of closet

a lot of people seem to think that being gay is somehow a bad thing and would be a "fall from grace"

sounds like HOMOPHOBIA iyam

Aaron Rodgers admits to having his insurance through Progressive. Bangs Flo on the side.

This. A lot of the answers in this thread tell us more about the poster than they likely think.

A fall from grace is like TEBOW having two hookers buried in his backyard, not some sports legend coming out as gay.

Being gay doesn't even move the needle in an industry where we've had Sandusky, Paterno, Pete Rose, Aaron Hernandez, Pharmstrong, etc.

You're right. I take back my hoping Woody Johnson chokes to death on a bag of ***** and replace it with Tony Dungy choking to death on a bag of *****.

The gay thing for Nicklaus is cause his fans would completely fall apart and wouldn't know what to do - does homophobia or racism win?!

I couldn't care less if Mandingo's 9 iron got hosel faded down Jack's whistling straight or not.

Their reactions would be pretty funny. I still remember the first time I saw a preview in the theater for Brokeback Mountain. For like the first minute it just looked like a really cool buddy film for manly men. Then, they showed Jake saying I can't quit you and then the two kissing or something. I remember some guy a couple rows behind me bellows out "Aww what the hell..." like in this really disgusted yet disappointed voice. Like he was so looking forward to this movie but his dream was instantly crushed with a male on male embrace.

Maybe there's some board glitch where nobody saw my AWESOME JOEK

Hey wow, good stuff ARC...

... God damn it.

I would choose Lebroun there are so many people all over his nuts it would be hilarious if it came out he is on roids, which is 85% chance is true, and also that he cheats on his wife with white woman, which is also possibly true. How many guys who are that rich and havent even at least considered the taste of white woman?

I only get one?

Ken Griffey, Jr.
Russell Wilson
Karl Malone
Bubba Watson
Jeff Gordon

Roger Goodell has been stalking Gisele for years.

Derek Jeter bet against the Yankees in the 2001 World Series. He also then got Cory Lidle drunk before daring him that he couldn't fly.

Jerry Jones is associated with the Sinaloa cartel.

Mike Krzyzweski slept with Belle Knox at Duke.

Durant finds out his mom isn't the real MVP and that RUSS is banging her.

Shocking how often the 2nd response in a thread gets it right.

How would we rank largest falls from grace in (recent) sports history?

1. OJ
2. Pharmstrong
3. Pete Rose

The Paterno/Sandusky stuff was brutal but those guys really aren't nearly as famous as these 3. Or, put better, "in America's grace" as much.

OJ was in commercials and movies and was a sports legend then killed two people with a knife. Armstrong somehow grabbed America by the nut(s) and made it care about lolcycling for like a decade, and got people caring about cancer. He couldn't seem to do wrong. Now his wikipedia page has almost as many slashes through it as Nicole Brown Simpson.

Pete Rose was one of the most accomplished hitters of all-time, nicknamed "Charlie Hustle", just an all-American dude who ate, breathed, and slept America's Pasttime. Then bet against his own ****ing team to make money. And had that ridiculous haircut. lol.

Lol. Corey Lidle wasn't the pilot though.

Marv Albert arrested for non-consensual biting. Oh wait, that happened already.

In all seriousness, the correct answer to this question is Phil Jackson. I don't care what the scandal is. Prostitutes, point shaving, coached games while on mescaline, whatever.

Not much of a HATER... LOL. That's your whole schtick man.


How about Novak Djokovic gets the stick up his ass surgically removed live on the internets while he squeals like a pig the whole time.

would be pretty awesome if it came out that Jim Irsay has been cheating on some form or another forever.

ahahahaha

Geno Smith since I hate welching, but i wouldn't even want him to achieve grace in the first place

You'd think guys would have realized long ago that when you get caught using PEDs just give a tearful apology in public and say you screwed up. Everyone just kind of forgets it then. Lying for years about it just pisses people off and you become a pariah.

I'm pretty sure Tiger Woods has already successfully fallen from grace.
