    Can he have dogs with him?

    But I've heard minimum security prisons are no picnic.

    I'll guess he gets 24 months and gets out in 12 with good behavior.

    I was talking with someone about this last week (hi! you know who you are!) and this person made the comment, "how could Marcus be involved in so much stuff and Michael not?"

    FWIW, another Falcons player was charged with animal abuse earlier this year (I can't for the life of me remember who) but it didn't have anything to do with dog fighting.

    Hammer the wwl you will, but the retrospective package they put together is pretty solid

    The way I understand it, yhere is no more parole in the federal system and he will have to serve a minimum of 85 percent of his sentence, so if he gets 24 months, he'll have to serve 21 of them.

    Maybe he'll be a rag doll for an over-sized prisoner named Bubba Jerome, and be someone else's play toy rather than the Carolina Panthers.

    Get ready for The Longest Yard II: Michael Vick chucking it to Chris Henry, with Pacman leading the defense.

    I really hope Ali and Gipp, the Baja Men, and Fat Joe are on the soundtrack.

    If your an NFL franchise, are you willing to risk the wrath of PETA and 85 percent of the population of the United States on an above average QB when it comes down to winning NFL games?

    He has two winning seasons in five played.

    Chateau Bow Wow

    NFL.com's Adam Schefter reporting that the plea deal calls for 10-12 month sentence. Sound pretty light.
