- Ob1masterjd26, on 12/10/2007, -8/+116He deserves it, but people have killed people and gotten less, WTF justice system
- zioxide, on 12/10/2007, -15/+113He had it all and he threw it away. ***** him.
- tfox2k1, on 12/10/2007, -7/+73Vick enters prison as a star quarterback and leaves prison as a hot wide receiver.
- deeboe, on 12/10/2007, -30/+77Not even close to long enough!
- funkedup, on 12/10/2007, -21/+60I think its kind of ridiculous. The fact that he has to spend so much time in prison. As said before, he didnt cause harm to anybody and already has lost so much. Dogfighting is no good, and I have a couple of dogs myself and am opposed to it, but the outcome would have been different if a white athlete was on trial for this. Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan have each had multiple DUI's and been convicted of drug possession and only spent days in jail. Driving under the influence can hurt other people, and people like that should face more serious punishment than Vick. I'm not saying Vick should be out scot-free, but our justice system is not making sense and thats where the real problem lies.
Some of you people seem to value dogs lives over humans life. - MonsterChaOS, on 12/10/2007, -42/+76I hope he rots in hell for this. ...Sick bastard.
- aliengoods, on 12/10/2007, -5/+35You're absolutely right. They're just dogs, while he is a football player (falls to knees and begins to worship).
Oh, and God called. He said your moral compass is pointing towards "douchebag". - slashbot, on 12/10/2007, -6/+3423 months? Vick probably won't be coming back to the NFL
- Crossbar, on 12/10/2007, -3/+27This was tried in the federal courts, where there is no parole. The most he can take off his sentence is about 3 months for good behavior.
- PureGuava, on 12/10/2007, -10/+31I'm betting 10-1 odds that there will be a reality show based on him. The basic plot will be inmates vs security guards playing football.
- rootnik, on 12/10/2007, -4/+23He still has a state jury trial pending. This is far from over.
- jeepin, on 12/10/2007, -1/+19Just to see some of what he's losing:

What a waste. Hope it was worth it. - avs5221, on 12/10/2007, -3/+19I'm burying you just for your username.
Oh...and you're a sick *****. - davejmathis, on 12/10/2007, -7/+23Paris Hilton got out after a few days for DUI and probation violations and Vick gets 23 months for dog fighting? Don't get me wrong, he deserves it and I love dogs, but DUI is more serious to me. Put Paris in for 23 months.
- osirislink, on 12/10/2007, -14/+29Deserves more than 23 months imo.
- aliengoods, on 12/10/2007, -1/+15Um, do you realize that these were federal charges, and he'll be in a federal prison? Also, he's still up on state charges.
It did make me think of this.

- texasaggie11, on 12/10/2007, -5/+19Federal sentences require the criminal to serve 85% of the prison term..
- Traiklin, on 12/10/2007, -0/+14Uh... ever hear of a joke?
- Rotzooi, on 12/10/2007, -6/+19Let's hope so. Dog-torturing ***** need not apply.
But of course, he'll be op Oprah and act all apologetic and the American People will love him once more. - Frostman3D, on 12/10/2007, -19/+32That's way too short. I think he should do AT LEAST 5 YEARS, and be banned from the NFL for life.
- slashbot, on 12/10/2007, -2/+14I agree. What ever happened to paying your debt to society and forgiveness.
I'm not saying he should be forgiven now, but to damn him for eternity, is just a bit harsh. I don't agree with this lock-him-up-and-throw-away-the-key bandwagon mentality here. He deserves the jail time he got and will receive yet, but if you read some comments here, you would think they are calling for the death penalty. I have a pet cat and consider what he did to be terrible, but let's be reasonable here. - whiteninja, on 12/10/2007, -14/+26I agree what Vick did is terrible, but I just can't comprehend how all of these people can show such outrage and passion about dogs being killed when there are much more important things going on in the world.
- cmgriffi, on 12/10/2007, -17/+29bitch deserves all 23 months
- blackmage439, on 12/10/2007, -10/+22I'm a dog lover, and this disgusts me to no end, especially for the fact that he lied about it. I hope this conviction ruins this heartless *****'s career for good, and he'll have to resort to living on the streets, only to be chewed up by the very same dogs he tortured. (I realize they've all been euthanised; it's just wishful thinking.)
- RooX, on 12/10/2007, -3/+15so its safe to say you are a crazy person, right?
- sw33tsarin, on 12/10/2007, -6/+17You forgot O.J. Simpson. Hes white, right? Oh wait, he only had to ***** up five times before people actually started to seek justice.
- govsucks, on 12/10/2007, -18/+28No, you get over it, this guy is more of a animal than the dogs he MURDERED. I'm sick and tired of people allowing guys like this a pass because he can catch a ***** football. Losing all that stuff is great, I hope the sorry sob never gets another contract and spends the rest of his life earning money off his intelligence. ***** has everything anyone could ever want and then for fun beats, electrocutes and hangs mans best friend. Animals that want nothing but our love. HE IS A ***** and will get the same amount of pity from me that he offered those dogs.
- CraigJ, on 12/10/2007, -5/+1423 months is fair. OJ should have gotten lethal injection.
- kingjaydub, on 12/10/2007, -11/+20what a sick *****. he deserves way more time in prison.
killing for sport is sick, especially when you're killing man's best friend. - CraigJ, on 12/10/2007, -1/+9You are a ***** moron and have somehow learned how to talk our of you ass: a neat trick.
- SuperDelen, on 12/10/2007, -3/+11Ya some people need to take a serious chill pill and realize there are more important things going on then someone who gets jail time for killing some dogs. I'm sorry, but no one ***** cares.
- AcePup, on 12/10/2007, -29/+36Unfortunately this is not long enough. Living in VA, I can say the justice system here is very hard and harsh, but he probably only will serve half of this and that's it.
- govsucks, on 12/10/2007, -4/+11This ***** should have been fired the day he flipped off his fans. Oh and to the people defending him, well he showed you what he thinks about you pee ons the day he flipped you off.
- robfis, on 12/10/2007, -0/+7no one was eating those dogs mr high and mighty. this was a case of torture.
- govsucks, on 12/10/2007, -2/+9Yeah, cause living in the wild, fighting for food, out in the cold everynight with ticks, fleas and disease and various other parasites is so much better than being enslaved with a huge back yard, toys, plentiful food and medical care. The animal Vick can have the same amount of pity from me he gave those dogs.
- Kronos6948, on 12/10/2007, -1/+8How's it make you feel to know that some of us (myself included) LOVE MEAT!!! MMmm...tender juicy animal flesh.
- swoosh_bnd, on 12/10/2007, -2/+9I don't see why you would want him to rot in hell, that's too extreme. While I don't think the things he did were by any means good, I do, however, believe that his punishment is just since he won't likely be doing it again. I don't see why you guys hate him so much for it.
- SouthsideIrish, on 12/10/2007, -0/+6He will serve at least 85% of his sentence, plus another couple of months in a halfway house, and I think, 3 year of the worse kind of probation. So, he won't get out until at least Oct. 2009, thus destroying he career as an NFL quarterback.
- Herostratos, on 12/10/2007, -0/+6""Dogs are animals, get it?"
No, not really."
Then.... what are they? - CraigJ, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5Thought about it. Still agree with it. However there is a lack of proportion here. Murders sometimes get lighter sentences or get off. The answer is not to give Michael Vick a lighter sentence, rather, to give the murderers and rapists the sentences they deserve. IMO that would be hanging in a public square, but I'll settle for life in prison.
- bitt3n, on 12/10/2007, -2/+7bright?
- Eljefedeath, on 12/10/2007, -1/+6Why do you hate America? Do you really contend that America is the only place dog fighting takes place? Or are you mad because Vick made more money than you? What message are you trying to convey with that statement?
- CoolWind, on 12/10/2007, -1/+6Wow! This thread is a total whacko rampage. Dog lovers are truly insane.
- funkthefunk, on 12/10/2007, -3/+8Eh, the sentence given seems reasonable. I mean, he did do something illegal. But rotting in hell seems a bit much. And besides, the US gov doesn't have jurisdiction over that.
- republicker, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5Yea, pitbulls are probably worth about 10 days a piece. Other good dogs would get more credit because they are useful to society. You cant go torturing animals but 2 years in the clink is just ridiculous. U can kill a human and get less time.
- lacronicus, on 12/10/2007, -2/+7and the fact that he was black has WHAT to do with any of this? Not to mention that there was overwhelming evidence against him, AND he was found guilty in civil court by a different jury. He did it, he practically came out and said he did it, he deserved what woudl go along with that.
- r00tus3r, on 12/10/2007, -4/+9Thanks funkedup, I was starting to think I was on a FEMA site. That sentence is insane. They're rapists who get less time than that.
- LogicBomB, on 12/10/2007, -2/+7Why don't they keep him out of jail but instead charge him a rather heafty fine that can go to help other battered animals and animal shelters and stuff of that nature?
Rich people do deserve to get off differently than regular people - we should fine them heavily and then use that money to help the organization or industry that they harmed. Speeding celebs will end up paying for more speeding traps and red light cameras, etc.. - govsucks, on 12/10/2007, -0/+5Man, that shows how stupid the people who support this thug really are. Men get into the ring of their own free will and have medics standing by to hel in case something goes wrong along with a ref to watch for submisson and somehow you think that equals starving a animal, fighting them to the death and killing them if they dont perform. I can only hope that the people who defend vick end up under the heel of someone just like him someday.
