RICHMOND, Va. -- Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy.
Federal sentencing guidelines suggested a year to 18 months.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback also received three years' probation at his sentencing before U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson.
With nearly a month already served, going by Hudson's sentencing, Vick would be scheduled for release in October 2009.
