Is Michael Vick's 23-month jail term appropriate for his crime?
- You've gotta be kidding -- it's way too severe.
- That's just about right --13.4 in dog years.
- For what he did, it should have been harsher.
- I'd spring him free now if he'd play for the 49ers.

Here's what the Associated Press' Larry O'Dell wrote about Vick:
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) _ Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls.
U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson could have sentenced the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback to up to five years. Vick pleaded guilty in August, admitting he bankrolled the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting operation and helped kill six to eight dogs.

I think Vick playing for the 49ers would be very appropriate, since they are going to the DOGS.
