You people are tripping. For all the public hand-wringing over the Vick thing there is no precedent for someone getting such a harsh sentence for dog fighting no matter what guidelines are on the books. What do you think is worth more to the state prosecution (or the feds for that matter): a harsh sentence for Vick as a warning to, uhh, all the super-wealthy Virginians that run dog-fighting operations? Or the PR move of sentencing him, commuting the sentence and then getting back to collecting Michael Vick's tax money? Guess what? There aren't a lot of people in Surrey County worth however much Vick is worth and the cycle of news is such that nobody will care that much about Vick in 6 months. When he gets released from prison it will be a page 36, third column, below the fold story. And it will be next February when it appears.starkweatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067659960128584230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-18080797722293325042007-08-24T14:31:00.000-04:002007-08-24T14:31:00.000-04:00I'll split the difference.

I just hope he doesn't get lucky and the judge gives him like five years of house arrest. Of course if he had house arrest he can only be like 300 feet from the anklet's receiver so he would have to either move to a smaller crib or only use part of his house and thats just funny.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-15184683564634322532007-08-24T14:10:00.000-04:002007-08-24T14:10:00.000-04:00Michael Vick's PleaThat's the link to the ESPN.com...<A HREF="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2989824" REL="nofollow">Michael Vick's Plea</A><BR/><BR/>That's the link to the ESPN.com article, if anyone's interested.

I don't think that's really changed, just maybe the tolerance for his antics have declined since the bloody sockery... His blog is interesting when he sticks to talking about pitching, but he really just needs to not give his opinion about every damned thing all the time. Schilling's star is fading though since he just isn't anything better than a #3/#4 starter these days (some would even argue he's not that). <BR/><BR/>Just like any other fanbase, not all Red Sox fans are insufferable. (FWIW, I know a lot more Yankees fans who can't believe that they haven't won the world series in 7 years). The bad element here are the pink hat fair weather fans, and the WEEI callers/hosts who are way too obsessed with instant-history/doomsaying.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-20835465100945706802007-08-24T13:32:00.000-04:002007-08-24T13:32:00.000-04:00That Slate piece on PFT is fantastic.

You truly are a moron.<BR/><BR/>The Chiefs have to make a tough decision, that I think is easy as a fan. This is season is a waste. There is nothing good that can come out of it but experience and hopefullly a high draft pick. The infusion of LJ is not going to help anything. Huard is a 1 maybe 2 year at best solution. The line is old, the D is old. They need to restart and keep trying to push into the cusp of playoff contention. <BR/><BR/>I know that the pleas are used all the time even with slam-dunk cases. There are two reasons:<BR/>1) Even with a slam dunk, you still have to have a trial and the expense of that, and the inevitable appeals. With a plea, SCOTUS has determined that it is like a contract. If you can think at all, you are stuck with it.<BR/>2) Regardless of this case, the court and US Attorney are swamped and this is just one case off their caseload.<BR/><BR/>I think the main reason that Vick is doing this is not so much as to save his NFL career as to prevent the strongest piece of evidence against him in the Commonwealth of Virginia courts. If he was to plead to this, the Commonwealth would have a sworn statement by Vick to a killing dogs that each count carries a 5 year sentence.pv845https://www.blogger.com/profile/05318367429970619320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-23600615699263391182007-08-24T11:04:00.000-04:002007-08-24T11:04:00.000-04:00USC #4.

LSU is the only team who can make a claim to having more talent. Afterall, the first poll of the season has to be based on talent since no games have been played.<BR/><BR/>Granted the most talented team doesn't always finish first, but they have more potential at finishing first. So, your point about ranking according to where you think they will finish has no merit.Darklawdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060727121837662812noreply@blogger.com
