Barkely was my favorite non-Knick growing up, and I love him on TNT, but I think 5 days is fair. I usually think jail sentances are too long for most crimes, or underserving if drug related, and I usually feel athletes get the short end of the stick, but DWI is not cool and 5 days isn't too long, more DWI's should get that kinda punishment if you ask me. This is coming from 22 year old college student who drinks every weekend.. and sometimes during the week. Take precautions, call a cab, no need to put peoples lives at risk.

The dogs who were tortured and killed got a raw deal, Vick didn't.

I don't think there are many people that hunt and kill domesticated animals

let's just hope he isn't in prison on a thursday so we don't have to sit through Gary Payton on Inside the NBA. It is bad enough he is on NBAtv. Just checked...March 21st is a saturday, looks like he will be out by thursday...what a coincidence.

Chuck manned up on TNT last Thursday, took it on the chin and said "I was wrong."
That was all I needed to hear. 5 days hopefully embarrasses him into never, ever driving drunk again.
That said, thank god TNT brought him back because the sans-Barkley panel is hurting.

Mike Vick got a raw deal? Uh huh.

Hanging dogs and drowning thier half-dead bodies in water filled rubbermaid containers?

Mike Vick can go f'ck himself and I would love for him to remain in jail forever.
