Vick Offered Minimum One Year Prison Sentence as Part of Plea Deal

He'd be stupid not to take this. With 1 year, at least there would be the possibility that he can get back in the league. If he gets the max (5 years) it's all over and he's the biggest punchline in the league's fight against poor conduct. What worries me is the possibility that he gets 1 year and only serves 3 months because the prisons are "overcrowded" ala Paris Hilton.

I think I heard somewhere that one reason he might accept the plea is that the prosecution is prepared to bring out new charges that could mean Vick would face up to 27 years in prison.

This is getting ridicules. He seems to be guilty of something. So far it looks like he placed bets, and he bankrolled it. But to spend anymore than a year in jail for dogfighting seems a little crazy to me. For this type of crime a few months seems more logical.

There is no such thing as Parole from federal prison. He will do every day of his sentence.

really? Never knew that... I can gladly say my experience with Fed Prison is limited to what I read and watch on tv. Still, he should take the deal.
