I'm glad that the Falcons asked for his multiple million signing bonus back. He is a disgrace not only to the NFL but to himself and everyone else.

<sigh> he will.

Gina, I hear the San Diego Chargers almost went with him but instead went with that wonderful star that goes by two initials (darn can't think right now) but there was a segment on 60 min. yesterday about how great he is ON AND OFF THE FIELD.

That would be LT, he's a wonderful guy. Our son has met him a few times. Super nice guy, with a heart of gold.

You do not get credit the same way you do in state prisons for good time, time served, etc. He will stay the entire 23 months, and if not just under that!

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.

Maybe he will bet to be someone's b---ch while he's there!
I wish he had received the full 5 years.

crystalsmom · 12-10-2007, 03:59 PM

Bump this up to celebrate

MeganS · 12-10-2007, 04:58 PM

=/ Its good that he was charged and is going to prison, but I wish it had been a longer term. For crying out loud, if he had done this to humans he'd already have the needle in his arm. But because they're 'just dogs' it doesn't matter as much.

Either way, its good that justice was - at least partly - served.

crystalsmom · 12-10-2007, 05:13 PM

I thought they would have to wait until he was out for the state trail but no....it starts in April!! This guy is going to be away for a long while.

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!

I hope that he is sincere in what he says. Hopefully he will serve his time, learn his lesson and become a productive member of society.

The thing that gets me is him saying he didn't know dog fighting was such a severe crime. Yet his son's friends make fun of him? So basically small children know that dog fighting is sick and senseless, but a grown man couldn't figure that out. Come on!

crystalsmom · 12-15-2007, 11:09 AM

I hope he means what he says in this letter too but like you say some things are rather hard to believe but I want to believe.
