Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison this morning for his role in an illegal dog fighting ring which included the killing of pit bulls.

Vick pleaded guilty in August, admitting he bankrolled the “Bad Newz Kennels” dogfighting operation and helped kill six to eight dogs.

In a plea agreement, he admitted bankrolling the dogfighting ring on his 15-acre property in southeastern Virginia and helping kill pit bulls that did not perform well in test fights. He also admitted providing money for bets on the fights but said he never shared in any winnings.
