"I'm definitely on my last chance. I know that," Vick said. "I know I'm on thin ice. I know this is it for me. I know I have to walk a fine line. Just the smallest thing will probably have me kicked out of this league or banned forever."
Reid didn't paint the situation as dire. Asked if Vick had any more chances, Reid said, "The law enforcement people didn't find anything there that he was guilty of, so I'm not sure about the chance part." According to Reid, Vick was simply guilty of not being "aware of the situation he put himself in."
On June 24, a party in honor of Vick was held at Guadalajara's, a Virginia Beach restaurant not far from his hometown of Newport News, where he and several others once ran a dogfighting operation. Dubbed "Michael Vick's All White 30th Birthday Bash," the party was open to the public for a $50 per-person fee.
Vick said the guests were mostly family and friends and that he "didn't expect to get a certain type of crowd.
"If I could recheck and do it all over again I would listen to my mom and have it private and let her and my fiancé orchestrate the party," Vick said. "I didn't do it and that goes to show that mama knows best. . . . You got to start listening to your mom at some point."
There were various reports that Vick was involved in an altercation at the party with Quanis Phillips, a codefendant in the dogfighting case and the man eventually shot. The Eagles have labeled this claim as a "mischaracterization." Vick did not answer when asked if he had any interaction with Phillips that night.
