For to poop on….
Richmond, Va. — Michael Vick received a 23-month prison sentence Monday for his role in a dogfighting operation.
The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson, ended an eight month legal odyssey for Vick that saw him go from NFL star and the face of the Atlanta Falcons franchise to a prison inmate. The sentence on federal felony charges means Vick, suspended indefinitely by the NFL, won’t play again until at least 2010. He still faces the league suspension. He has also been indicted in Virginia on state dogfighting charges and faces lawsuits from several banks.

Well he may beable to play again in 2009. I heard them talking on the news that he could do as little as 18 months with good behavior
In all seriousness, if you do time (and I’m not talking a weekend in the pokey because of some minor little fracas or movign violation), but reall jail time…any league and/or team that would bring you back to play has some serious moral and ethical issues they may want to address.
Regarding the whole issue of dogfighting, I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
I whole heartedly agree. I think he should get a lifetime ban from the NFL!!!
Dogs are scum. Free Michael Vick!
(Before anyone takes me too seriously, I was kidding – in the second sentence, anyway.)
