I am pleased with the sentence, because although it was not the maximum I expected him to get less...But really he has gotten a fair sentence in my opinion because his life was basically been flushed down the toilet. He will inevitably have to forfeit all his personal property, he will never play in the NFL again, anything that made Michael Vick special is now gone, and he will have to think about how he tossed it all away for the rest of his life. |
They were talking on the local radio today that he could have gotten less time, but the judge was very displeased with the fact that Vick had gotten caught smoking marijuana (and lied about it) and had failed a lie detector test.
I am personally surprised that he got the sentence of 23 months (although he deserved more). The thing is, there is a possibility he will play somewhere again. Some desperate team may pick him up if he is still in good shape when he gets out!
