Michael Vick Seen Drinking in Philadelphia Airport Bar, Philadelphia Eagles' Spokesman Says He is not Barred from Drinking

Former Atlanta Falcon quarterback Michael Vick has found himself in another storm, albeit a ridiculous one. He was seen in a recent photograph, published in the New York Post, drinking vodka and pineapple juice at a Philadelphia airport bar. Tony Dungy, who has served as a mentor to Vick, told SI.com that he confronted him with the incident and told him, "Michael, you can't do that."It is unclear when the photograph was published whether Vick violated conditions mandated by the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

In a letter to Vick upon his reinstatement July 27, Goodell wrote that "prohibitions regarding drug and alcohol use" were included; however a spokesman for the Eagles, in an email to The Philadelphia Inquirer, confirmed it was OK for Vick to drink alcohol, that it was "not in conflict with terms of his probation or reinstatement with the NFL."

The New York Post and others are hellbent on making this man's life miserable by scrutinizing every move he makes, but if memory serves me correctly, he was imprisoned for dog fighting, not a drinking problem. It is amazing that Rupert Murdoch's rags seem to focus on the wrong things while there are serious economic issues confronting New Yorkers and dare I say the entire U.S. The last time I checked the unemployment rate for New York was 9.6% and climbing. Shouldn't the NY Post be focused on issues of that nature? Leave Michael Vick alone. He paid his debt to society.

Steve Coffman, the owner of Sandpoint, Idaho, bar Slates Prime Time Grill and Sports Bar, has also jumped on the "crucify" Michael Vick bandwagon. He said that fans of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles and their new quarterback Michael Vick will have to go elsewhere to watch Eagles games. He said that the boycott also extends to Eagles' corporate sponsors Molson Coors, brewers of Coors beer products. Ooooh, I am sure the Eagles are afraid, very afraid of this boycott!
