Dungy Warns Vick Over Drinking Photo

PHILADELPHIA - Tony Dungy, the former NFL coach who has served as a mentor to Michael Vick of late, addressed a photo this weekend that showed the quarterback drinking in a Philadelphia airport bar.

"Michael, you can't do that," Dungy was reported as saying on Sports Illustrated's Web site, SI.com.

Vick was seen in the recent New York Post photo drinking grey goose and pineapple juice. It wasn't immediately clear when the photo was published whether Vick was violating conditions mandated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

In a letter to Vick upon his reinstatement July 27, after a two-year prison sentence for his participation in a dog fighting ring, Goodell wrote that "prohibitions regarding drug and alcohol use" were included.

But an Eagles spokesman, in an e-mail to the Philadelphia Inquirer, confirmed it was OK for Vick to drink alcohol and that it was "not in conflict with terms of his probation or reinstatement with the NFL.
