Re: Mike Vick sentenced to two years in prison

So you're going to teach your children that lying and deceiving people is better than telling the truth and you'd be an idiot to tell the truth, huh?

I'll teach my kid that you do whatever possible to not go to prison.

Call me crazy, but why don't you teach them not to do things that will land you in prison in the first place?

Kind of like taking out the middle man.

Re: Mike Vick sentenced to two years in prison

That sounds far more like the definition of an idiot than the definition of a man.

LMAO!!!!

Godell and Blank shouldn't be asking him any questions anyway. They know the feds are on it so just let it play out.

The one thing I don't like about the whole thing is that I thought the Feds raided his place looking for drugs?

Right....so why bother putting drug dealers, murderers or even common thieves in jail since doing that won't make people safe everywhere.
Good logic.
How about we just start with dogs being safe in that little part of the world and we'll work from there? :wink:

Where's the fun in that? It's much more exciting to do something despicable, lie about it, and avoid going to prison for it.

Re: Mike Vick sentenced to two years in prison

One thing that does bother me about this whole thing is taxpayers are the ones who foot the bill for Vick's incarceration. Couldn't we have just fined him a few million dollars (give it to PETA or something), and then force him to do 500 hours/year of volunteer work at the humane society for the next 5 years? Maybe make a reality TV show with Michael Vick washing puppies, with all the proceeds going to animal shelters across the country. Instead, we're giving him free meals, room, & board... paying guards to keep an eye on him, and the other prisoners off of him. Just doesn't make a lot of sense. Are the streets really that much safer without Michael Vick?

Re: Mike Vick sentenced to two years in prison

I have no problem with the sentence. Seems to me that based on the sentencing guidlines he's got a term somewhere in the middle. I figured anything from 18-24 months would be fair. After seeing what his cohorts got, I figured 20-23 months was the likely scenario. Nice to see an athlete not get off scot-free for once. Although I think had he not been Mike Vick, he probably would have gotten closer to the max 5 years.

I do find a great deal of humor in the people trying to portray Vick as a victim in all this. That truly is funny.

Re: Mike Vick sentenced to two years in prison

I wouldn't say his career is over. The biggest problem I thought with Vick was his immaturity and unwillingness to get better--relying on his physical gifts instead. Out of prison, he may become a much mature, hardworking person. It depends on how he handles it.

I've seen some guys come out of prisons for much worse crimes and be very successful human beings. One of those ended up being a coach/mentor for me and ended up having a profound impact on my life and other at risk kids.

At 30, he will have is physical skills and the speed of the game was never a problem. If his dedication increases, this may be a blessing in diguise.

3 years off at that position? A position he struggled with anyway? No chance. At best he might get a chance as a roleplayer, but his career is over as we knew it.

Re: Mike Vick sentenced to two years in prison

After watching Tim Tebow's Heisman acceptance speech, I'm reminded of how different the born again Christian QB is from Vick, but Tim would be the first one to welcome Vick back to society and even pro football.

I wouldn't say that. There's a good chance he can get back into the flow. It'll be all up to him though. Even though people are saying he's finished at Atlanta I don't even know if thats true. Unless they can pick good in the draft next year they'll be hurting for a QB for a while.
