Via Rant Sports  |  December 30, 2011
You know what? I’m going to be mad for London Fletcher. He may be over it, but the fact that he will not be at the Pro Bowl has got to be an indicator of the league’s love for making ratings rather than giving credit to where it’s due. Fletcher represents how we should all take being looked over: Professional, encouraging to others, and positive. His recent tweet about the...
