Kicker Jay Feely quips that he's waiting for Lions to call, then they do
On Monday, the Detroit Lions kicker turnstyle rolled again as the team cut former Eagle Alex Henery after he missed all three field goals he attempted in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Bills, including a potential game-winner with only 26 seconds remaining in the game.
Among the folks who watched Henery fail on attempts from 44, 47 and 50 yards was free-agent veteran kicker Jay Feely, who most recently played for the Arizona Cardinals in 2013. During the Lions-Bills contest Sunday, someone inquired about Feely's whereabouts.
Waiting for @Lions to call RT @mtaz23 My only question is.. What the hell is @jayfeely up to these days?

And then:
According to MLive, Lions head coach Jim Caldwell said on Monday that the team would value experience at the position, but wouldn't rule out any options in the search for a replacement.
I can't help but wonder if every free-agent kicker sits around on Sunday with voodoo dolls and a six-pack muttering "NOONAN!"
