I was all for throwing the book at this dumbass in the beginning, but IMO, putting aside personal feelings for his personality and foolishness a 2 year sentence is a long azz time in the pen.

Alright, bring the heat. :evil:

I wonder if he will even do his full 2 years? Cant his sentence be reduced??

He's was a good...not a GREAT QB. if he wouldn't have gotten into trouble then who knows. but, come one, IF, that's a CAPITAL I.F. a team were to sign him how long would it be before he's on the field and the organization and fans are behind him...it would take a while.

Sounds like he is sincerly soryr for what he did, but I doubt he plays for the NFL in a "starting" roll again. my guess is that he tries to come back and becaue of his popularity he is 2nd or 3rd string....

I do believe that he did put moneies down for the dog thing, but I also believe that, deep down, he's a good guy and has learned from his mistake. But I don't think he'll be able to make it in today's "popularity" NFL.

He's made his money, and hopefully he was smart with it.

My guess is that either he becomes the next O.J. Simpson (which I doubt) or he goes to teh wayside and starts his own car dealership/bar/restaurant..etc.

I hope all the best for him, and as a dog lover and owner....I forgive him, but I doubt he is able to play in today's NFL due to popularity.

Flame me if you want, but too many crown and cokes I get honest.

He's in a Fed pen. They don't do time off for good behavior.
He serves the full 2.

2 years for that is too ****ing long. He was fighting dogs not killing people.

I think the 2 years was for the training activities that he was responsible for.

The evidence was that he electrocuted dogs that didn't have game. Drowned them. And, beat them to death.

It's not like he was at the dog park and had an aggressive dog that liked to attack other dogs. He sponsored a systematic cruelty ring.

Other athletes possy score chicks and drugs for their benefactor. Vick was trying to put his to use for profit (see Wall Street Journal article in the W section from today.)

I would guess that if he simply out a 22 round in the undesriable dogs heads he would have gotten off easier.

I would like to add that animal cruelty is one of the key indicators that shows a propensity for violence in the future. Many violent offenders started off on animals. Who knows, if not addressed, he might have taken on bigger prey as well.

That's what I've always heard. Then I read this crap on message boards.

What a fall.

It's all a matter of perspective $0.12 an hour is good wages, if it's 9448 BCE.

Mr. Kotter 04-11-2008 11:03 PM

How much money you think LVNHACK has been able to win off of Vick's prisonyard antics? :hmmm:

:)

With the lawyers he is able to pay, I suspect he won't serve the full two years. However, Goddell will see to it he won't step foot on an NFL field before the 2010 season....IMO. Guess we will see.

Guy goes to prison and THEN he decides to be paid accordingly to his production?

He's not so proud of that 7 that's on his back now

Bill S Preston 04-12-2008 01:30 AM

I heard he plays tight end for half of the snaps.

Atlanta Falcons' owner Arthur Blank and Vick have been communicating through letters.
My dearest Arthur,

Every day that goes by, I think about holding you in my arms again. At night, I dream about us. When this is all over, we simply must go to a Caribbean island and experience a second honeymoon. I miss you, and I love you.

Forever yours,
Michael
xoxo
