he can get out early because of good time, I would guess not. He's 27 now, so, he'll get out when he's 29, and theoretically could play again in the NFL by 2010 at the age of 30. Has the commissioner Goodall banned Vick for life? and if he hasn't, do you think he will or will have pressure to? Obviously Vick is a great QB/runner and many teams might want him, however, I would think that with PETA and other animal rights organizations out there, there might be too much negative press for a team that will hire Vick. What do you think?

Well, first off, he most definitely WILL be able to get out early for good behavior. However, remember he may be getting additional time because he is still facing STATE charges on the dogfighting as well. A few months back the state announced that it will pursue additional charges. So there's no telling when he will actually be done with his prison time. It could be a year from now or it could be 3+ years from now.
Secondly, Goodall has not banned him for life, nor will he. BUT any suspension he imposes (and he will impose a suspension- most likely of at least a year) will have to start AFTER he is completely done his prison time. So if everything goes perfectly the earliest he could play again would still be the 2010 season. But most likely would wind up being more like 2011 or so.
Thirdly, I disagree with your statement that Vick is a great QB/runner. Vick was a great runner but a very much below average QB. A below average QB who's only true skill is his speed and ability to run, who will then be in his 30's and out of the game of football for 4 years will have a VERY hard time catching on with a team. The best he will be able to hope for is an opportunity to make a team as a backup in camp at a league minimum salary. But my guess is that you've seen the last of Michael Vick as an overrated, over-hyped NFL QB.

If he was really goinig to serve 23 months it might be fair. Considering what he's lost, and will never get back, he's paying more than the law can legally charge him. The fact is some people just don't think this sort of thing is wrong. I don't know how they were brought up to feel this way, but the law says it's illegal. Vick knew the risk and he did it anyway. Maybe this can turn into a good thing. Look at how much this has brought it to the mainstream news. Now if only those Knoxville murders of humans could have made the evening news!

Watching the news right now his lawyer just mentioned 18 to 24 months so it sounds like he may get out earlier than 24 months.
I don't think that the commissioner will ban him from football and there fore leaving his fate up to the fans. Sports fans a notoriously forgiving and 18 or 24 months is a long time for memories to fade. It will depend on the quarterback situation at the time but I'm sure that there will be a team that will be willing to take a chance on him if he stays in shape while gone. They will be able to get a good quarterback cheap.
That being said I don't think that it will be a West coast team where people are more liberal and less tolerant to animal cruelty.
All bets are off if he gets more time for State offenses

I really doubt the Vick will play in the NFL again. He wasn't taht great of a QB anyway. He was never going to take a team to the Super Bowl. In all actuality, there will be too many younger, better QBs out there when he gets out of jail.

Vick can come back and play after serving his time, but what NFL team would want Vick to come and represent their team? In a couple of years it may blow over, to some extent, and some team in desperate need of a quarterback will bite but I don't believe he will ever be the same player he once was.

Goodall has not banned Vick but it will be the owners that will keep him out of the game. I can't imagine any owner picking him up after what has happened. Besides this sentence does not include the State hearing. He will probably get another 2-3 years in that case.

He is eligiable for release after 75% of his sentence is served.Goodall has not banned him for life.I think there will be pressure both ways on this issue there are going to be teams intrested in him.I don't see the NFL letting this magnet for bad publicity coming back. Even if you do I don't think he will be in playing shape.More then 2 years out of the NFL is a long time.

If Vick were remorseful, I think he could play in the NFL again. Until he asks for forgiveness and accepts responsibility, I doubt any team would take a chance on him.

I believe Michael Vick's greatest punishment is the loss of his sponsorships and that he will be a commodity that no team will dare touch. The time in prison for the Feds will be far less than what he will likely serve in state prison once VA gets their hands on him.

Vick will find the lord and see the error of his way in prison as most inmates seem to do. Then a god fearing owner desperate for a winner will sign him to play when his suspension is lifted.
