All I could think was, "He better hope the Judge isn't a dog lover"

Sure it wasn't Michael Vick ?

I think the monster Vick should be doing 23 yrs, not months. If he gets bk in the NFL, I will eschew the league forever or until I die, whichever comes first.

The Bengals reference was somewhat tongue in cheek. Vick did however serve the sentence imposed on him. That part is over- he will quite possibly be the most scrutinized player ever to set foot on the gridiron again in this day of ESPN- cell phone cameras- etc...

If he has changed as a person then I say give him a shot; if not then so be it.

Probably not. A drunk driver can cause negative impact on at most a handful of lives.

Wanton cruelty to animals (the hanging of 1000 dogs in your case) is considered to be some sort of psychopathic warning sign that a serial killer may be developing, and he would have negative impact on many more lives than your one time drunk driver.

Just sayin' is all....
