Vick Could Get Sprung from the Hoosegow

Michael Vick is all set to plead guilty to state dogfighting charges tomorrow. The upshot -- he could get himself out of prison and into a halfway house.

Vick has already put his autograph on a plea deal to settle state dogfighting charge by accepting a three-year suspended prison sentence and a $2,500 fine. He's in Virginia now to enter that plea.

Resolving the state case will make him eligible to leave federal prison early and spend the last six months of his sentence in a halfway house.

63. Hunting is a sport. hundreds of thousands of American have as a hobby and have hunting licenses and shoot deer, squirrels, ducks etc for fun and sport but Mike Vick gets caught dog fighting, loses millions, spends more time in jail than rapist and child molesters and that is not enough for you people. Really??? I think the guys has paid his debts ten fold. It is intresting in a country that has hunting seasons every where and the VP of the US shoots a buddy while hunting farm geese that are breed to me shot, that people still want Vick to pay more. Love some aniamls but not others. Shoot deer in the woods but dog fighting is illegal? Get a life people!

64. ........................Vick Supporters.................Why do you support an individual like Vick?................You don't actually know him personally,.............and even if you did............you still would have not really known him would you?..........Cause if you had actually known him, then you would have been condoning what he did.............So, that being said........Why do you support him?...............Lets see........he is black, played football, fathered (3) children out of wedlock by two women?, broke every contract he signed, faulted on 3 loans, broke state laws, federal laws, humanity laws against dogs, lied to everyone in the whole world, still has more stories coming out that no one knew about, killed dogs in heinous ways, gambled on dog fights, caught smoking dope when the judge told him to stay away from that stuff, AND, he can throw the football...........................what in the hell does society want with this person.....................nothing....................All his persona was actually the NFL, Reebok, Nike, The Players Assoc, The Falcon's organization,...............the real Vick was hidden in the shadows............................NOW you know the truth.............so why the support?.........................

65. Reading through these comments, do you people also complain and protest about athletes in the NFL who have been charged and convicted for domestic violence?

Where is the same love for abused women?

66. He and his brother's species is less than 3 weeks out of the trees. Evolution takes a while. You don't think Mike Tyson has evolved do you?

67. This guy actually makes me ashamed to be black.

Well, this guy, Rev. Wright, Whoopi Goldberg, Louis Farrakhan and Shawn Kemp -- all of them make me ashamed to be black, too.

68. ...........hello @ 8:45 pm............Well, you start off by listing the hunting industry and all associated with it..............Then you list that other crimes get less time.............Why didn't you list Bob Steele while you were at it?...............He shot bad guys in the movies back in the 40's.................OHHH, that had nothing to do with Vick you say..................Well, neither does anything else.............YOU just do not realize the depth of anger that people and society in general have for Vick..............not only did he break laws, he killed dogs in heinous ways.............In the minds of general society, he did things that will not be forgot or forgiven.....................If you can forgive him so easily, then ask yourself WHY................What is not inside your thinking that is inside the majority of society...................

69. TO: HEAD CASE - Good self-diagnosis. Your conversation with yourself was most amusing. Vick will never play in the NFL - he still has pending gambling charges to face. Don't f&@k with the South, especially the great state of Virginia. And no, this is NOT part of our culture!

71. Isn't DOG spelled backwards GOD? Coincedence? Maybe. But I would imagine that justice will find him. Vengence is Mine Say"ith the Lord. I hope he's mighty vengeful on him, joey porter, and whoopi.

72. Scarlett,

It is clearly is a part of your Virginia culture, you backwards country pumpkin!!

You are taught to hunt beautiful animals before you can walk.
Check out your own hunting laws and how proud Virginia Government promotes sport hunting.

73. Instead of releasing him to a halfway house I think he should spend the last 6 months cleaning out dog kennels

74. HEAD CASE -

Yes, I am well aware of the hunting laws in my State. I don't like them, necessarily, but hunting is legal. Virginia hunters don't spend thousands on gambling and the torture of animals, as Vick did. He tortured and killed innocent animals for the sole reason that he got off on it. Revolting.

Lest you call me a hypocrite, I have been a vegetarian since I was 15 years old (nearly 27 years now). I have friends who hunt to feed their families. I am not critical of them, nor they of me.

Do not put responsible hunters in the same category as this psychopath.

75. ...................Hello. Vick did time @ 9:15 pm.................Again, and again, and again,..............listing all the other items of the world............HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VICK.....................Focus now...........Vick broke the law, killed dogs,............................What do you not understand?.....................Everyone hates the man for doing this.............he has led a somewhat sorry life hasn't he?....................He has wasted everything given him hasn't he?.....................most people will not forgive or forget.............it is just that simple...................To have wasted everything because of his, INNER SELF WANTING, to do the things he did..................Any thing he does from this point forward will forever be questioned...........and for good reason..............no, I do not like Vick and I don't like supporters either..................
