Last week, the Dolphins released kicker Jay Feely, presumably, because he wasn't very good at his job. Feely told the Miami Herald that he had prepared his family for such an eventuality, saying that "I had a feeling from the day Parcells got hired that this was going to be the case.'' John Beck feels your pain, sir.
But it wasn't enough for Feely to get cut and get on with his life. Nope, he had to take a few parting shots on his way out the door. You know, because that's how kickers roll. Or something.
Some players weren't happy with former Dolphins kicker Jay Feely's comment that ''you can see the lack of talent that still exists'' here. ''He was part of the lack of talent we got rid of!'' [Channing] Crowder said. Vonnie Holliday called Feely's comment ``kind of Tiki Barber-ish . . . Now that you're no longer [here], you downgrade us? I would expect a little more from that guy.''Crowder makes a good point. It's not like Feely was exactly kicking game-winning field goals on a weekly basis last season. I know, it helps to have an offense that can actually get past midfield when trying to best utilize the kicker, but it seems like an odd remark for a kicker, a position most players don't even consider part of the team.
Whatever, Holliday busting out the "you sound just like Tiki Barber" should be enough to shame Feely into silence.
