LONDON FLETCHER WONDERS WHY HE’S NOT A PRO BOWLER

Many NFL players treat playing in the Pro Bowl as more of a chore than an honor. But if it’s a chore, it’s a chore that Redskins linebacker London Fletcher wishes he could have. Fletcher is angry that he has been a starter for 10 years, hasn’t missed a game and usually leads his team in tackles, and yet he still can’t get chosen for the Pro Bowl. “I don’t know if it was because I wasn’t a first-round draft pick, I don’t do some kind of dance when I make a 10-yard tackle, I don’t go out and get arrested,” Fletcher said, per the Washington Times. “I believe in playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played. You line up each and every week, each and every play and you go out and get the job done. You look at my body of work and I’ve done that for 11 years. But because I’m not going out causing a lot of controversy, holding a private meeting with the coordinator saying this, this and this, causing a lot of strife on my team, I don’t garner a lot of attention.” That last comment appears directed at the Dallas Cowboys, whose internal drama has garnered the kind of attention Fletcher can only dream of. Fletcher says he’s mostly just sick of thinking he’s done enough to make the Pro Bowl, only to find out he’s an alternate. “To have it happen, year after year after year after year, you can’t tell me ... an eight-time alternate, c’mon man,” Fletcher said. “That’s a trivia question. I’m the Susan Lucci of the NFL.”
