Wow. Will that be it for the playing career then? He won't play again until at least 2010. I wonder if he'll get the chance for early parole?

Sucks for him but now people will ask the question: Does the punishment fit the crime???

ESPN - Vick gets 23-month sentence on dogfighting charges - NFL

Good, this should end his career. He doesn't deserve another shot at playing.

It a shame that a person with so much going for him wasted it. For the person who asked if the punishment fits the crime. I think the fact that he funded the operation and addmitted to killing the dogs it does. Oh, and he still faces other charges in VA. which I think is pilling on.

I didnt ask it I am saying that will be a question that will be brought up in the future.

Hey Peter. Watch out for your cornhole, bud.

Let's see I believe the Feds make you serve at least 75% of a prison term. So thats at least 17 months. He could be out just about the right time for the Raiders to be looking for a new QB. Shame the Cowboys don't need someone they always have room for crooks.

I know I'm in the distinct minority and I will likely get blasted for this post, but I think the sentence is a little much. I love dogs (and all other animals) and what Vick did is reprehensible. When news of the story first broke I wanted Vick gone for decades. But, regardless of his sentence, Vick lost potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in salary and sponsorship deals, he's a pariah, and his career is all but over. Essentially, the guy ruined his life. Given that so many sex offenders and people who commit violent crimes against other people often get off with probation or shorter sentences, I think the sentence might be a bit harsh. A 12 month stay in a federal "pound me in the ***" prison would have probably sufficed.

It's actually 85% and that would add up to just over 19.5 months, but for football purposes it's the same thing. He'll get out before the 2009 season, probbaly be suspended a year and then be eligible to play in 2010, age 30.

MTK · 12-10-2007, 01:09 PM

I really don't have much pity for him. He dug his own hole.

mheisig · 12-10-2007, 02:13 PM

23 months actually doesn't sound that bad.

I have a feeling he'll be back at some point.
