If you dig deep enough, it seems that Vick might completely avoid jail time. I will post first then give commentary....

The plea agreement is 11 pages long, the summary of facts another 10. But the endgame for Michael Vick can be reduced to one simple goal: Stay out of prison, no matter what the cost.

According to federal documents, Vick will cooperate in full with federal prosecutors to tell them everything he knows. To save his hide, he becomes an informant.

He may be called a snitch, but aiding federal authorities is the most honorable thing for this disgraced man to do at this late date. It could even be the beginning of his redemption.

I actually have no problem with him skipping jail if what he does is for the greater good. You have to realize the government was not after Vick per se... they were after the sport of dog fighting. Vick just offered them a very high profile case to do it in. One thing is for certain, I guarantee no other sport stars and celebrities that were involved before will be any more.

The thing is though, Vick's career is shot as it is. He lost his $130 million contract. No going back to get that. The only thing he can hope for in the future is a veteran minimum deal on a team with no hope that desperately needs a quarterback.
