This article cuts out Feely’s prior and latter tweets where he thoroughly states his full sympathy for Chris Henry’s family and the Bengals organization. You can see exactly what he said if you go to http://twitter.com/jayFeely. I don’t think Jay Feely was at all trying to be negative. However, before posting such comments, Jay should have realized how hurtful his words could be to those who were close to Chris.

Personally, I think that it is blogs like this one that twist the views of certain celebrities by picking and choosing the words that come out of their mouths. People need to be less judgmental and look into things before commenting. That is a lesson that both we and Feely could learn.

I never said Henry’s death was anyone else’s fault (or that he made the best life choices or that he didn’t have his own karma to overcome) but that does not mean it isn’t a sad event or that it is alright to disrespect the dead…and Feely diverted the attention to HIMSELF by posting insensitive comments on the internet regarding the death of a fellow football player mere hours after it happened. People die from making poor choices all the time but that doesn’t mean we should shout “well, I told you so” from the rooftops before they are laid to rest.

I’d much rather miss fields goals as “karma’ than be dead from my own stupid choice.

Who has worse karma, do you think?

Jay’s comments are true. Mr. Henry dies because of one of many of his poor choices.

911 calls indicate he jumped in the back of the truck and was beating on the window. Another witness stated that he heard Chris say that if she didn’t stop, he would jump off of the truck and kill himself.

Either way, he’s dead and it’s not anyone’s fault but his own. I think people need to stop diverting the attention to Jay Freely.

Feely missed 2 field goals today (and another was a bad snap) to help the Jets lose and damage their playoff hopes…karma?

We all understand or consider that he may not have been actually on the right track, that he may have been chasing her to beat her, or he may have had completely ill intentions……. however, as others have said, it is the timing of the remarks.

First, that is all based on speculation: let some facts get resolved before you start judging the man.

Second, and most importantly, if you really want words of caution to be taken seriously and a lesson to be learned, those types of remarks will only be considered once the initial shock has worn off.

Let the poor man RIP and his family grieve for a bit first.

An argument that was apparently heated enough that he jumped into the back of a pickup truck (with one arm in a cast mind you) that she was driving, trying to get away from him for whatever reason. Maybe he wanted to give her her Christmas present? Ask her to pick up some milk while out for a drive? Maybe to make sure she was wearing her seat belt? Or maybe to pull her out of the car and beat the crap out of her?

Seriously, for what other reason would a man with one arm in a cast jump into the back of of a pick up truck that was likely already moving? Sorry but given his track record he doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt, at least not from me. And having had a number of friends and relatives who have been the victims of domestic violence, I stand by what I said about it being better that he died than actually catch her.

I’ve heard alot of people criticize her for leaving him lying in the road when he fell out of the truck. But if he was chasing her, trying to hurt her, I don’t blame her one bit.

If I’m mistaken about all of this, if she somehowlured him into the back of that truck and intentionally drove to make him fall for no reason, than I will be the first one to apologize for my seemingly harsh comments and assessment of the situation. But like I said, given his track record, he’s not entitled to my benefit of the doubt here.

A “domestic dispute” means to me there was an argument.
It does not mean he was going to hurt her. Actually, a witness reported that he threatened HIMSELF if she didn’t stop. That is not healthy, clearly, but there is nothing that suggests he would have physically hurt her if she did stop.

And if you don’t believe that witness for whatever reason, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the driver wanted him to fall off of the truck. There is a reason there were homicide detectives investigating this.

And I also disagree that it’s worse for one person to get hurt, even if he were an aggressor, than it is for another to be dead.

While it may have seemed as though he was turning his life around, the incident that caused his death seems to contradict that notion. The police are calling this a domestic dispute. He jumped into the back of a pickup truck that his fiancee was driving, presumably to get away from him. God only knows what tragedy may have befallen her had he been successful in catching her. It’s too bad he died, but it would have been a whole lot more tragic if he’d caught her and beaten her or even worse.

Some out there want to portray him as a completely reformed guy because why? He didn’t get arrested in the last two years? To paraphrase the Chris Rock bit about men wanting credit for taing care of their kids, you’re SUPPOSED to not get arrested.

Fate takes a hand here. Nothing to apologize for.
