As an Atlantan, as well as a lifelong Falcons fan...I could not agree more. What a P.O.S. He had a world of talent and blew it all being a wanna be thug. I hope he forgets the very little he knows about football while sitting there in prison. I'd like to see him come out and have a strong career working for Arthur Blank...at The Home Depot. The Falcons have never been that good, but Arthur started a downward spiral when he signed Vick. The spiral got faster when he made him the highest payed player in the NFL. Now let's see if the franchise has taken any lessons away from this. Rot in prison, Ookie.

He will be out out before 23 months,, trust me---
He will be a model prisoner, and get out early and will be signed for another NFL Team.. Its gonna happen.. I'm not saying its right, but bookmark this thread and you will see..
He woulda got less than that 23 month sentence if he didnt piss off the judge btw--
But with all that said Good QB's are rare these days, even though he has to fit into some sorta of run and gun system that the Falcons weren't, (it wasnt a good fit from the start), but some team will take a chance on him when he gets outs---
thats if the NFL alllows it--(no word yet)

| thats pathetic ... he deserves far longer than 23 months ... I agree, he'll be a model prisoner and be out early ... early enough to be in uniform for the '09 season ... I sure hope the NFL bans him from football ... |

IMHO this is a disgrace and just further proves that the Justice system is flawed terribly. That man should have spent hard time for a minimum of 10 years(longer really). Its a shame.

they save those sentences for the small time middle class pot dealers.
i'm curious if the franchise is able to get back any of the $20Mil bonus they gave him up front... supposedly they are gonna try.

There are programs in place where prisoners work with abused and abandoned animals to get them ready for adoption. They have to handle scared and wounded dogs and cats. They groom them, feed them, and care for them until they can be adopted into a family.
Apparently this work has done wonders for the murderers, rapists, and other badasses. They start feeling compassion and become more aware of the value of life.
That said - when I heard the sentence, I thought he should be made to work with abused animals - under supervision - so he might get a clue about how to treat another being. |

Or perhaps we should use an eye for an eye with him so he could see how the animals felt. I'd bet that might be more effective with him.

if he happens to serve in a 'real' prison maybe some of the real bad asses will simulate that treatment. sort of how a child abuser might/ought to be treated.

There is no such thing as time off for good behavior when doing Federal time. He got 23 months he will do 23 months. Should have got the 5 years plus. But hooray for the state charges that will for sure add more time... |

Apparently that's not the case. The AJC reports that he will only have to serve 85% of his time if he plays well with others in prison.

OK another resource says that you can get a maximum of 54 days a year for Fed good time but still no statute.
The search continues... |

8. 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)
54 days per year served so at most he could get 54 days off his sentence. |

it would appear that proration is possible, but it all seems discretionary. |

Not that I think what he has done is a good thing but there are sports stars out there that have done worse and are still in uniforms.
What has happened to the Christian way of forgiveness?
Everyone wants to lock em up and throw away the key.
People can change.

54 days per year. 23 months is just shy of two years. Lets call it 1.92 years. 54 x 1.92 = 104 days. 23 Months = roughly 700 days. 700 - 104 = 596. 596 is about 85% of 700...kinda like what a newspaper said.

It's interesting that this past Sunday wide receiver Roddy White scores a touchdown and then flashes his "Free Vick" shirt but when their coach Bobby Petrino decides to quit just about every player on the team bashes him to no end. Petrino is pretty much a grade A jerk but it's interesting that they can support Vick but not someone who's only crime is he wants to leave for another coaching job. Go figure.

You only get the days for each full year served. 23 months is not 2 years so he is only eligible for 54 days. Read the statute...
ETA: Still don't care what a newspaper says without citing the reference.
