WHAT DID MICHAEL VICK PLEAD GUILTY TO?

I have just reviewed the plea agreement entered into by Michael Vick, courtesy of Fox News. Here is what Paragraph one says Michael has agreed to as part of the plea agreement:
1. Offense and Maximum Penalties
The defendant agrees to plead guilty to Count 1 of the indictment charging the defendant with Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fighting Venture, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371. The maximum penalties for the violation of this offense are: a maximum term of 5 years of imprisonment, a fine of $250,000, full restitution, a special assessment, and 3 years of supervised release. The defendant understands that this supervised release term is in addition to any prison term the defendant may receive, and that a violation of a term of supervised release could result in the defendant being returned to prison for the full term of supervised release.

Wonder what the Judge will think of this sweetheart deal?
