Get used to it Mike Vick...
The New York Post's Brian Costello reported that the quarterback, on the evening after his return to the practice field, sat in a corner booth of the Riverbend Bar & Grill, sipping on a Grey Goose and pineapple juice with two friends.
No big deal right?
Well, Vick's conditional reinstatement to the NFL contains an express prohibition against the use of drugs and alcohol.
In the July 27 letter communicating to Vick his conditional reinstatement, Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote that "you are required to abide by the terms of the supervised release that were imposed on you by the court, which include not committing any further crime, limits on who you may associate with, prohibitions regarding drug and alcohol use, possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon, and forbidding you to own, possess or be involved with the sale of any dog."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello was clandestine when quizzed by Pro Football Talk.
"Our press release referred to conditions imposed by the court," Aiello said via e-mail. "Anything to do with the league's program is confidential. We are not going to be any more specific on the conditions than what was in the press release. I am not aware of any violations to the terms of his reinstatement."
Meanwhile, the Eagles say Vick is OK for now.
"We are aware of the report and it is not in conflict with terms of his probation or reinstatement with the NFL," Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko told Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The loophole? Vick can drink but can't partake in "excessive" amounts of alcohol.
The countdown to disaster is ticking...Stay tuned.
