After a 16-year NFL career and now four months into retirement, former Redskins linebacker London Fletcher has a lot of time on his hands. He's filling some of it by clowning the Cowboys on Twitter.
It started innocently enough Thursday, with this tweet from NFL AM:
In honor of the Masters, help us #CaptionThis photo of @TigerWoods & @dallascowboys Tony Romo hitting the green! pic.twitter.com/hKAhBUPdXk
— NFL AM (@NFL_AM) April 10, 2014Fletcher, apparently fond of "caption this!" contests, tweeted his submission:
@NFL_AM @TigerWoods @dallascowboys "why is he taking all this time just to choke?"
— London Fletcher (@LFletcher59) April 10, 2014Fred Smoot would be proud.
In related news, the Cowboys swept the Redskins last season, and in those two games Romo was 35-of-57 for 396 yards, with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
Fletcher's response:
@TonyTime9 @NFL_AM last time I checked I was the @dallascowboys Tony Romo killer! #CheckMyStats vs them, they're very happy I'm retiring!
— London Fletcher (@LFletcher59) April 10, 2014As Sports Bog notes, as a member of the Redskins, Fletcher had three picks and three sacks in 13 games against Romo.
NFL Hot News
49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, other players being investigated by police
I know that's an incredibly vague headline, but there isn't much more to go on at this point. What was originally reported this morning by TMZ.com was that Kaepernick is a suspect in a sexual assault investigation. The alleged assault took place in Miami on April 1. 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton and Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette are also named as suspects.But what they are suspected of doing isn't actually specified in the official incident report, and the Miami Police Department is currently calling the situation a "suspicious incident."The incident report states that an unidentified woman and the three men had drinks and did shots at Lockette's apartment. The woman claims that the men "told her that in order to drink the shots, she had to 'hit' the bong which contained marijuana."As the woman began to feel lightheaded and went to a bedroom to lie down. Kaepernick, with whom the woman said she has had a sexual relationship, entered the room and began kissing and undressing her. He then left the room as she waited in the bed. At this time, Patton and Lockette "peeked" into the room. The woman told them to leave, and they did.The woman said she does not remember anything after that. She awoke in a hospital bed, unsure of how she got there. The report doesn't state if evidence of intercourse was detected at the hospital.
No fantasy take here. This story seems to be changing rapidly, and I will continue to post updates as they warrant. Hopefully, the true matter of the investigation will become known soon. At the very least, the NFL will want to look into the players' possible use of marijuana. But that might end up being low on Kaepernick's list of concerns.
