One the other hand, he must face the consequences of his actions. I think he will do some jail time; but I don't think it will be more than two years. He will be fined substantially. I think Vick has decided to face this music now, so that he may ressurect his NFL career as soon as possible. Jail or not, he still is a very talented quarterback. (Please don't think that I am trying to excuse his behavior- I'm not) Afterwards if Atlanta does not wish to have him play for them; I am positive some other team will.
The ESPN commentator was also commenting about what kind, if any, prison, if any, Michael Vick will go to. Minimum or Medium. They said it all depends on the length of sentence.

But you know, given his record, and his leadership, I would be willing to bet that he might get probation. But who knows what a judge will say.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
