Michael Vick was finally sentenced today, the verdict 23 months(because he served one month already). Not only that but this virtually takes away any chance of Vick coming back for the 2009 season and pretty much ends his NFL career. Some say Vick got what he deserved but I think 2 years was a bit extreme. 18 months would've been just as fitting and he would be released in Summer 2009 and would have a chance to get on an NFL roster. The judge "hit him where it hurts" in a way because I think any GM that signs a guy that hasn't played football in 3 years at the key position of Quarterback will be mobbed by his fans.
The people of Atlanta hoping for Vick will now be devastated. I was watching on ESPN and I thought it was interesting that they brought up the fact that the judge was a hunter and fisherman and showed numerous pictures of the judge holding a rifle. While hunting isn't illegal, a man that shooting animals for fun seemed a tad bit hypocritical in giving Vick such a harsh sentence.
I know alot of people here don't care for Vick and will have plenty of backlash. But I think Vick's sentence is extreme.
