THE SIX KINGS Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 SUSSEX, Va. (Map, News) - Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty Tuesday to a state dogfighting charge, a move that could make him eligible to leave prison early and potentially speed up a return to pro football. Vick, 28, arrived wearing wrist and ankle shackles with his gray suit, but the restraints were removed by the time he entered his plea. The one-time Atlanta Falcons star also pleaded not guilty to a count of cruelty to animals, but that charge was dropped under his plea deal. He received a three-year suspended sentence - far less than the maximum of 10 years he could have faced. "I want to apologize to the court, my family, and to all the kids who looked up to me as a role model," Vick told the judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 What you all said. But really, is anyone even mildly surprised? Just a shame he didn't have Ray Lewis around to cover things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
