Former NFL coach Tony Dungy said Thursday that Michael Vick may still face repercussions from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell despite police in Virginia clearing him of criminal wrongdoing in a June 25 shooting at his birthday party.  Speaking to the Dan Patrick radio show, Dungy said Vick, on probation for his 2007 dogfighting conviction, was wrong to put himself in a dangerous situation at the birthday party that was open to the public for an admission fee. "You can't do anything that's going to put a bad face on the NFL," Dungy said, "...he probably didn't live up to that."  While Vick has avoided criminal liability at the party, Dungy noted that the event "could have been disastrous and may still be" if the NFL or federal probation officials decide Vick overstepped boundaries.  Goodell is investigating whether Vick broke the terms of his 2009 reinstatement. Dungy said he spoke to Vick the day after the incident, in which the AP reported that his former codefendant, Quanis Phillips, was shot. Police have identified the shooter but said they can't prosecute now because of a lack of cooperation from the victim and witnesses.  Dungy said Vick is held to a higher standard than other NFL players because of his past legal problems. And he said Goodell -- who told Vick last year he had little margin for error -- may be skeptical of what Vick says because he lied to him in 2007 about his involvement in dogfighting.  "If it were me, with what I know and I don't know everything that the commissioner probably knows, I probably would just move on with this," Dungy said. "But there may be more to it."  NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Tuesday that the league's review into Vick's case is continuing.  Dungy, who served as Vick's mentor after he finished a 20-month federal sentence last year, said he counseled Vick after the birthday party that he cannot put himself in such dangerous situations where other people and events are out of his control.  "He's made some mistakes that probably he won't make again, hopefully," Dungy said. "Just really not very good judgment and putting himself in a position where you're inviting the public to pay money and come to a birthday party."  The unknown people, alcohol and potential for weapons at such a party are a "recipe for failure," Dungy said.  To report corrections and clarifications, contact Standards Editor  .
