Hes a sicko, there is no doubt he deserves to be punished. That being said if you compare dogfighting to child molestation who should get more prisontime? You have many first time sexual assults and child molestors getting less than he may get. He doesnt deserve to be in there longer than a guy who sexually violates women and children.

I certainly agree Bid, but the answer isn't shortening Vick's sentence, rather we should lock up molesters and throw away the key! Shortening Vick's sentence would simply be adding another travesty to an ever-growing list...when I worked in the prison, i heard everyday how unfair it was that this guy or this woman was serving time while others got off...misses the point...sure, some skate but the unfairness has nothing to do with a person paying for his/her crime. Vick is an animal if indeed he pleads to the charges as presented...the fact that other animals sometimes get short sentences won't be fixed by shortening Vick's!

Maybe Vick could "handle" the molesters like he did the losing dogs. That would make me appreciate him more.

Ok I am going to speak about this in short form. If in fact Vick killed some of those dogs with his own hands the way the media is reporting and an NFL team signs him after his release shame on them. Second chances, even third are all fine and dandy for your run of the mill mistakes etc etc but.............

This is beyond the scope of what it means to be a human being. If he did in fact kill those dogs with his own hands OR knew of this going down, he deserves to spend A LOT MORE TIME in a HARSHER PRISON then what he no doubt will get.

I want to go into other areas about this case but in respect for this board and my not getting banned I will refrain. This case has been a real, real thorn in my side and wil continue to be until the ACTUAL FACTS come out.

Does not help when I see a woman last week wearing a Vick jersey at the Grocery Store I work.

i've said before at work, i'm all for second chances--but his second chance will be at learning value for life, and for what he had and wasted and blew away with his own stupidity.
as for a second chance in the nfl--ain't gonna happen.

Hopefully the FEDS will catch up to Barry Bonds pretty soon, now that they have busted Vick.

Bonds should be easy to catch, its hard to run from the feds when you have a 45lb head

I am completely sick of listening to ESPN speculating on the fate of Vick's NFL career. They hyped Vick for years and featured him endlessly based on his athletic prowess rather than on his on-the-field successes. Though Vick has yet to formally accept a plea agreement or hear his sentence, ESPN has begun promoting the notion during its football telecasts that with a healthy donation to PETA and with some 'genuine' sound bites of contrition, Vick should be back in the league by '09 or 2010.

Let's hope that PETA is not like that assembly of whores that is headquartered in Bristol, CT. I believe that before PETA ever holds is kimono wide open and accepts blood money from this monster, it will cease to exist.

For Vick, is it wishful thinking to hope he gets a chance to get hogtied in his 'rape stand' for the amusement of the lads in cell block C ?
