Is This Brother Starting To Bark Up The Right Tree?
Former Atlanta Falcons quarter back, Michael Vick has just completed what must be considered the execution of the best "end round" or "option" play ever executed by a football player. Yesterday Michael Vick contacted the Virginia Sheriffs department and showed up three weeks prior to his sentencing by a federal judge on gambling and animal cruelty charges.
December 10th was and still is the day of his official sentencing. But in a bold move that is an obvious attempt at a lighter sentencing from the judge. Will it work? Many in the legal profession believe it will. They say it shows contrition and an apologetic stance for what he has done. The African-American superstar is expected by some to get between 12 and 18 months for his guilty plea to conspiracy charges relating to gambling and dog fighting. The maximum can be five years, and he has waived his ability to appeal the final decision of Judge Henry Hudson.
All I say is hallelujah. Vick is finally getting sound advice from those around him and he is actually taking that advice.
