Has anybody ever fallen further than Joe Paterno

This guy was beloved by everybody a few months ago and now he is basically despised by everybody but Penn State fans. Can you think of another figure who fell that far? It can be a sports figure, a political figure, or someone else

Many PSU alum and fans despise him as well. There's no denying he covered all this up now. Many of them seem ashamed and disgusted.
And no I can't immediately think of anyone falling from a higher pedestal.

I've been against him from the beginning, but I think times have changed since then. I doubt people would have rioted if what we know now was known then.

Don't lump the entire PSU community into "siding with Joe". I for one, want the statue removed and his name off the library he paid for. I don't want anything to do with the guy. He's a fraud and lied to everybody.

Agreed and while that made PSU as a University look even worse at the time, I really don't think the riots would've occurred now, knowing what we know today.

Off the top of my head, no.
This is a monumental fall. Went from the mountain top of morality straight into hell

That seems to pall in comparison with what Dwight will go through, LeBron made a stupid decision influenced by his entourage, while Dwight is just an ass who quit on his coach.

Dwight signed his option because he didn't want to be like LeBron. How did that work out for you Dwight?

OJ Simpson.
Spokesman for a dozen high profile companies and sat on the boards of many more.
Now he's a disgraced jailbird who got away with one crime only to have his ego trip him up.
Looks like another perfect day.
