can anyone think of a bigger fall than our pal northy ? goes from primetime morning drive radio and making $1.5 mil/yr to hosting a web based show from a restaurant website and openly trying to scam gamblers with his horrible betting site. at least when garry meier walked away from a ton of cash, he didn't humiliate himself afterwards.

Meier's wife is a big $$$ lawyer, Bebe...I dont know if she evem made it out of High School. Garry didnt have to worry about incoming cash flow, bebe might have to go back to working a cash register.

Yeah, but even if the masturbation thing had never happened, I'm not sure how long he would have remained popular....

You may want to double check your sources. The papers referred to her as a commercial real estate broker. Of course this does not mean she isn't a lawyer.

I have heard North talk about bebe in law school. It's not that I am so suprised to hear that, more surprised to hear why she stopped? To work at the hot dog stand bearing her name?

I think Northy's got nothing on this guy as far as a fall from grace.

But the difference is that what North made his money using is the same thing that brought about his fall.

His mouth.

Whereas Vick's fall from grace was away from what made him great.

There is no bigger fall from grace than a religious zealot caught in a sex scandal. Jim Baker and that Colorado preacher who was a X and male massage fiend.

How about former Tribune columnist Bob Green. One day he is chicago king of all media with a column, a radio show and several books. One little tryst with a college student later and he is "retired".

He probably never had enough actual success to qualify, but he certainly had the hype.

Yes, because it gives you obsessive complainers something to complain about.
