It appears highly likely that Michael Vick will plead guilty tomorrow and server 12 months or more in jail.

More than football, Michael Vick's freedom is the question now. With three associates prepared to testify that he brutally executed dogs and bankrolled gambling, the NFL star agreed Monday to "accept full responsibility" for his role in a dogfighting ring and plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.

Worries about playing time will have to wait while Vick faces prison time — from one to five years.


The maximum term is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines likely would call for less. Defense attorneys would not divulge details of the plea agreement or how much time Vick can expect to serve.


However, a government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms are not final, told The Associated Press that prosecutors will recommend a sentence of a year to 18 months.

Is Vick getting this because he is famous or is this fair?

This wasn't a couple of local boys fighting dogs in their back yard. He had a major operation going on. I'm sure if he wasn't famous he would still get some jail time.

Without commenting on man's rights and "animal rights" or the lack of them, it seems like when faced with his friends testifying against him, he decides to fess up and admit breaking the law. Isn't that special? As Church Lady used to say!

My guess- he will get minimum punishment for the dog fighting and cruelty charge, but the big problem may be the gambling part, and could get him put out in the street!
