A lesson from Jay Feely…
![]()
Jay Feely missed three potentially game-winning field goals on Sunday. Despite this disgraceful debacle, his post game performance was refreshingly mature.
Before coach Coughlin could address the team, Feely stood and said,
“I'm sorry I let you down. People are going to say it's a team game and they're going to say the right things. But the fact of the matter is that you've got to come through when you have one opportunity -- much less two good opportunities."
He may not have a job for long, but he’ll have his integrity. Let this be a lesson for everybody. When you blow it, have the integrity to take responsibility. It’s ok. It won’t kill you to be humble. Truth is, it will most likely help you.
I may not want Jay Feely as a kicker on my fantasy football team, but I wouldn’t mind having someone like him as an employee, a business partner, or a friend. We all need this kind of integrity in our lives, and at one point or another we’ve all needed to be this humble.
