I am sure he is sincerely sorry he got caught and is sincere in his wish to return to the NFL but there is no way he is sincerely sorry he was involved in that operation. I don't see how someone can do a 180 after they already denied it to the press. What would be funny is if they gave him 11 months and 15 days and made him serve his time in a prison that houses both federal and state felonies like Raiford in Florida. Thats where all the crazy white trash serial killers, pedophiles, and rapists go. I am sure they would love Vick up there. Makes me sad K Wing Slim is no longer there. I guess if he got less than a year he would have to go to a split facility instead of a full federal joint which sucks for him.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-15917358002472013822007-08-17T12:47:00.000-04:002007-08-17T12:47:00.000-04:00Should have said "just how terrible us Boston fans...Should have said "just how terrible <I><B>us</I></B> Boston fans are..."

However since the sentence is up to the judge and as long as he writes why he gives a certain punishment that Vick in theory could get house arrest which would allow him to play ball if someone wanted to take a chance on him. Of course my atty also said that he only deal with federal cases when there isn't a criminal aspect to it . He did say that no matter what Vick will have to do at least a year if he goes to a federal pen since you can't get a sentence of under a year and still go to a fed joint. <BR/><BR/>Take it from someone who has done way too much time, anything under two years is nothing. You are just on vacation. Of course knowing how it is like behind bars and how african americans have a predilection for goomps and jailhouse burritos Vick is going in a qb and might leave a fullback. <BR/><BR/>A goomp is when you take an iced honey bun then crush up peanut butter cookies, water, and peanut butter to make a paste that you ice the honey bun with. A jailhouse burrito is every bit of meat, bread , noodles, chips, and cheese you can get your hand on and rolled up in a trash bag and cooked with lukewarm water or under your mattress for a few hours.

That's like the idiot baseball writers who hold a team's winning against HOF candidates. I can understand not considering Hamels if his team was one of the worst, but they're a contender and wouldn't be without him. That should be enough for Cy consideration (and the same is true for MVP candidates). For the record, I still put him below Peavy on merit.verbal97https://www.blogger.com/profile/02282148454169067288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-44266946248062582542007-08-17T12:19:00.000-04:002007-08-17T12:19:00.000-04:00How can you possibly stretch a judge sentencing Ri...How can you possibly stretch a judge sentencing Rick Tocchet to probation into more "everybody hates hockey" rhetoric?<BR/><BR/>The judge saw the case for what it was: a glorified football pool between people with more money than sense.
