23 months. Not too shabby. Better than nothing.

Don't drop the soap Vick!

I believe there's still state charges / convictions in Vick's future as well.

My bad. The IT10T webmasters at CNN have the videos page set up so that the URL always shows the URL of the video that was first opened.

Here's the main story.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/10...ced/index.html
Click on the "Video" tab for the video.

Man... George Foreman supports this puppy killer?


I cannot understand what goes through these people's minds for supporting him...

I think that's fair. He'll be out in 18-20 months if he behaves. One thing that they fail to mention is he tested positive for drugs when he showed up for jail or a pre-trial hearing?? That violated his agreement of surrender or bail. The judge dinged him a few extra months for that He's also paid 1m for the upkeep, re-hab, training and vet bills for the 40+ dogs they confiscated. None are being put down, that's cool. Then there are all the other fines, loss of revenue, career, etc. He's paying big time no matter how you look at it.

See now, if he had organized some epic cobra vs. mongoose fights he'd never have gotten in trouble and they probably would have been more interesting to watch. Think outside the box, kids.

Interesting theory. I know an 11 month old that weighs 30 lbs. I hope they fight by age groups.

OK Doc.....................


What punishment would YOU have handed down???


Other than loss of revenue or career, he actually got off easy compared to some of the white Florida rednecks and Mexican locals around here for the same crimes.

Yea i think this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are several banks and lending establishments going after him for 10s of millions of dollars for loans he defaulted on. It does sound like Vick does feel bad, and is taking responsiblity for his actions. I think hes going to be paying for years to come for sure.

Something tells me Vick wouldn't have much of a problem with people trying to mount him if he dropped the soap...
