Well, the verdict came back today on Michael Vick, affectionately nicknamed ConVick, and he was sentenced to 23 months in jail. No wonder he wanted to start serving early.
The only defense I have for Mike is, this is the only thing on his record... It is despicable, haneous, and unforgivable but legally, this is the first thing he has gotten busted for - that I know of... (Money made his water bottle incident go away.) If he would have gotten 1 year, you could argue, that was an acceptable sentence. From what I heard on ESPN Radio today, Vick was treated like a 2nd class citizen, he was not allowed to wear a suit to court - he had on the old fashioned black and white striped jumper, and the Judge was a crotchedy old white man looking to make an example out of him. I hope it works.
Vick is over... He'll never play another snap in the NFL... I hope that younger players see what happened to one of the highest paid athletes in the US and they modify their future actions accordingly.
The verdict is still out on that.
