78. Given the fact that he's a celebrity, I guess we should be happy that he got 23 months. I still think he's getting off easy, though. He should've received the maximum sentence.

79. buzz bomber, obviously you don't know what you are talking about. I own a pitbull, I've had him every since we found him all tied up in a parking lot, starved, and bitten up. Our vet CONFIRMED that the dog had been used to train on in a pit bull fighting ring. In the entire 10 years we've owned him, we haven't EVER seen ONE BIT of aggressiveness. A dog is a dog is a dog. A pit bull will attack a child if the proper training and supervision is not given, just like a blood hound, german shepard, poodle, or collie will. Read a friggin book before you open your big fat un educated mouth.

80. All you pathetic, moronic retards who are yelping like the crazed racists jackals you are, I am wondering, how much time should someone serve for jaywalking. They are dogs, not human being. This judge is a racist . Vic should pay restitution to an animal shelter, going to jail does not serve any real purpose only to those racists rednecks. Rapists, muggers and other felons serve lest time. I wonder how concerned the members of are PETA of people who rape, murder innocent children? Does their lives count for something?

81. Not enough time by far. Now it is the states turn to go after him. He'll be doing time on those charges too. Hopefully he won't be getting out any time soon.

82. As an african american, I can say that I HAPPY that he was finally sentenced.

People like him are what gives black men bad reputations. He should have held himself to a higher standard, and he should have known better. God did not mean for us to harm and torture his innocent creatures. We are all created in his own image. It's sick and disgusting what he did. Did any of you see the photo of the dog that was missing his nose and half of his mouth?

ANY man that could stand back and be a part of what he was a part of, is a sick indivisual, regardless of skin color.

I am sorry fellow brothers and sisters, but I don't understand how you can defend him. As one of you, I know you want to stand up for him because he is your brother. I am sorry to tell you that he failed us, and we should all be ashamed.

I hope he quietly disappears for the rest of his life.

83. Just to snap the supporters of Vick back into reality.......the dog fighting issue is only one part of Vick's legal troubles. His lawyers negotiated a plea deal, knocking off literally years of jail term for tax evasion, gambling, gambling across state lines..............racketeering. Federal crimes. Michael Vick cheated & stole from the American public.that means you . He is facing State charges now..............no not double jeopardy. He can be charged & face another jail term.

84. LMAO!!!!!! YOU ALL ARE MAD AT ME FOR SAYING THAT YOU DESERVE TO GET EVERYTHING YOU WISH ON HIM. AND THAT MAKES ME AN IDIOT? WOW! I HADN'T REALIZED WHAT KIND OF SITE THIS REALLY WAS! AND YOU'RE ALL WORKED UP AND ANGRY OVER SOMEONE YOU'LL NEVER MEET. LOL! I I THINK I'LL JUST KEEP MAKING COMMENTS TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES ONE OF YOU TO WISH I WAS RAPED AND TORTURED. LOSERS!

85. it's another sad day in our country. DOGS (WHO WERE NOT EVEN ON NOAH'S ARK) are more important than the victims of NEW ORLEANS.

86. Hey Al why do you waste your time on such B.S. he is not white and we'll never know the answer. So quit being a racist winer and grow up and add a comment with some brain power!

87. This is INSANE! What he did was wrong and he deserves to be punished, but 23 months? There are child molesters that get probation and no jail time walking amongst our children on a daily basis.

Where is the justice??

89. I hope Mike learned from this and will be able to get his life back when he gets out of prison. I think he did a terrible stupid thing, but has been made to pay an unfair price. Pitbuls who are trained to fight are always put to sleep when captured. As a matter of fact all pitbulls are put to sleep when captured. Yet they are keeping his alive and making him pay 1M for their care. That's some of that good old racism in the "justice" system we keep trying to tell you people about. As pissed off as I was at him, they now have me feeling sorry for the man.

90. IBBlackman...

We have enough black men in prison because they PUT themselves there!!! What are YOU talking about brother???

Every black man siting in prison...they are not there because the white man put them there, they put themselves there!!! And to make it worse, they crimes that 90-95% of them did, were AGAINST other black people!!!

You are one of the problems with this nation.
