From CNN.com:
RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) -- Michael Vick, once one of the highest paid players in theFootball League, was sentenced to 23 months in prison for financing a dogfighting ring and helping to kill pit bulls that did not fight aggressively.
Vick's stunning downfall from NFL superstar to disgraced dogfighting defendant culminated Monday in a 90-minute sentencing hearing in federal court in Richmond, Virginia.
Vick was dressed in a black-and-white striped prison suit and apologized to the court and his family, The Associated Press reported.
"You need to apologize to the millions of young people who looked up to you," responded U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, according to the AP.
Seems a little light, and I'd bet this dog would agree. Vick is a heinous asshole who should be barred from the NFL.
