Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie says Michael Vick’s mistake was going to birthday party

Lurie says Vick guilty of mistake in judgment

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie says Michael Vick’s mistake in judgment shouldn’t be confused with any wrongdoing.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told Vick on Tuesday he will not face disciplinary action following a shooting at the quarterback’s birthday party in late June.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday for the first time since that incident, Lurie says Vick should not have attended the party but that Vick is a “great teammate” and praises his community service.

The NFL and the Eagles looked into a shooting at a nightclub in Virginia Beach, Va., where Vick held his 30th birthday party on June 25. Police said no charges will be filed because of a lack of cooperation by witnesses and the victim, who Vick’s attorney Larry Woodward identified as Quanis Phillips — a co-defendant in Vick’s federal dogfighting case.
