I will say this "IF" he is quilty .throw the book at him!

Vick is going to have to give himself time off. IF he believes himself to be innocent, he's going to want to focus all of his energy into this case. As a QB with a new head coach, he's not going to have the time to devote himself fully. His best option is to show everyone that he's fighting these accusations and when it's behind him then he'll get back to playing football.

This isn't to say that I feel he is innocent. I'm just saying an innocent man will usually fight a little harder to keep himself out of jail than a guilty one.

Giantone, read the thread and you'll understand. Nevermind, I'll save you the time. DEVIL'S OWN was trying to say people were turning against Vick because he's black, not because he's an abomination.

I'm not saying that....... 80% of the white people in Atlanta already think he should be gone and less than 25% of blacks say he's do he's say in court, those are facts from a poll done in Georgia..............I dont have say shit, its already being said......

It would help if you posted a link or cited your source on that.

Here I'll post it for you.

"Whites were far more likely than blacks to think that Vick, who is African-American, should be dumped immediately. Among whites, 54.4 percent polled thought he should be released, 36.7 percent that he should stay until there was a verdict, and 8.9 percent had no opinion.

Among black respondents, only 26.6 percent thought he should be released, 65.6 percent said wait until the verdict, and 7.8 percent had no opinion."

Look I just don't see racism here sorry.I fully agree he should get his day in court. If he is guilty thew the bad press and publicity will be over whelming,he needs to take the time off now and defend himself.
Your poll while I believe you is true is very unscientific and the poll it's self could be bias.lets say you asked 10 whites and 100 blacks you now have .......8(80 % ofwhite people) whites and 25(25 % of Blacks) blacks that feel he should be gone .Changes things a little .

Actually, ESPN announced yesterday that it was 55% white, and 27% black (if I recall correctly) that Vick should be released. But a large amount of everyone has said to have his day in court.
ps- I could show you a "poll" that says that 95% of fans think the SKins are going to win the Super Bowl...but that doesn't make it correct.

Vick has alot in common with those other athletes you have mentioned. i think it comes to Arthur Blank, and what kind of message he wants to send all of his employees. remember, its not just about the falcons, you have to include home depot. that means there are alot of eyes watching what happens to Mr Vick. i didnt vote, because i think he should be banished, if guilty. and my opinion has nothing to do with skin color. if you do the crime, you do the time

I don't get it, what does race have to do with Vick's case? The man is accused of killing animals for fun.

1. Everyone should have their day in court.
2. If Vick is convicted he'll do time, hopefully the maximum.

Until then everyone needs take a wait and see approach. If he is in jail, the NFL won't be much of an issue would it?

Yeah...I don't see this going any other way, but jail.

Does anyone know what the max / min sentence will be?

I don't know the minimum but I believe the maximum is 6 years.
