Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison on Sunday. This sentence would mean that Vick would come out on October 2009, and he might get out a little earlier for good behavior. Vick got more time in prison than two of his co-defendants because he was not truthful at first with the dogfighting operation. According to the case, dogs that did not perform well were killed in various ways in the dogfighting operation. Vick, who has been apologetic from the time he pleaded guilty, was not believed by Judge Henry E. Hudson. Hudson said that Vick doesn't seem to have accepted full responsibility. Marcus Vick, a former quarterback for Virginia Tech and Michael's brother, was there with their mother at the sentencing. Vick's mother was very emotional and Marcus was trying to provide her comfort during the process. Vick, who received a huge contract just three years ago, will now have to serve time in prison and there are many questions about his NFL career once he gets out of prison. Will Vick be given another chance by another NFL team once he gets out? Has Vick accepted full responsibility for his role in the dogfighting operation? With the Atlanta Falcons, Vick's former team, at 3-9, has this case affected the team's performance this year?
