Michael Vick filed his plea agreement in federal court Friday admitting to conspiracy in a dogfighting ring and helping kill pit bulls. He denied ever betting on the fights, only bankrolling them.
So what can we expect? He'll probably get a year to two years, then be out. In the meantime, it may be a good idea for the NFL to remove him. Guys involved in drugs? They're really only hurting themselves (discounting the drug related crime issue of course). Vick? Torturing and killing dogs? Here's your post release scenario. Vick gets a tryout, some offensive lineman on his team likes dogs, a defensive lineman also on the team does too, they line up across from each other, and oops, he put a move on me, oops, he just sort of blundered into where I was going, oops, I really didn't mean to hurt him that dead. That assumes he makes it through prison of course. They may be criminals, but they probably like their dogs. |
