As you know Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 mon. in prision with 3 yrs. probation for the dogfighting case. I like Vick and animals. but to me got what was coming to him. A superstar athlete on the rise just to crashing down on a dumbass decision. What does everyone else think.

23 months is not that big of a deal. It's not the jail time I'd be worried about. He really does not have a career after his jail time anyway.

[Reaper329]

His career is essentially over, which is fine considering what he did

He's only going to be 29 when he gets out, I would be suprised if someone doesnt take a chance on him. I dont know if he will like the minimum salary that they are going to offer him though.

As you might have heard, the severity of his sentence was based on him not being totally honest with the feds and smoking weed while on bail.

Honestly, when he is done with his sentence, more than likely he will be lucky to even seriously be thinking of playing. Getting through the day will probably be more his speed at that time. It's sad but I think he totally underestimated just how much trouble he was in.

maybe he and some fellow prison inmates could form a football team to challenge the prison guards

Lol. Nice one.

If you act like an as.shole long enough, eventually you'll be one. And they like as.sholes in prison...

[CHA0S]

wow just found out if he would've confessed when the investigation first started he would've been a jail for only 1 day.
...stupid decisions

[T-Bone]

He should go to Jail for life for what he did. I have read some of the sick gruesome details. Someone who tortures animals like that should not be allowed to live, but puting him to death would be to easy.

[rugger48]

Basically they have said he will get out 3 month early for good behavior which will have him out by june of 09. I have also heard if the place hes at gets over crowded he could get released even earlier(not sure how true that is). Does he still have a career when he gets out, with out a doubt he will get signed with a team after he gets out. The question is at what position and if he will be decent enough to make the team.

[ReaperX]

Without a doubt he will get signed ? Why are you so certain about this ?

[BigBody]

Just rememeber this, the guy smoked weed while on probation and failed his drug test, seriously, you can't stand in the face of a judge like a man and do some stupid crap like that and not expect a harsher sentence than your peers who weren't so blatently stupid. I still can't believe he did that

I'm not going to say he didn't deserve this 23 months. However, I just think its funny to see the EXPLOSION of hatred coming from society for him killing dogs, when everyone tends to just brush past human on human murders. There wouldn't have been as much media hype if he was being tried for murder. Ray Lewis didn't have much coverage when he was accused of murder. But because its animals (And therefore PETA) it got turned into this huge deal. I just think its sad that Americans care more about dogs than another human life.

*I just have to clarify that I love dogs. I would be steaming mad at anyone who even thought about harming my dog. I am in no way demeaning the lives of the dogs that Vick killed. Just making a point.

People have more of a chance fighting against people. Dogs verses humans on the other hand.....Animals are innocent. They should expect to be treated kindly and with respect by humans. The dogs didn't have a chance against their human counterparts. Look at hunters that use guns with scopes on them for pinpoint accuracy, the animals really don't have much of chance. That is in the wild and they have more of a chance than this guys "pets". Its just disgusting.
