I found this quote humorous. But he has a point.

Haha my favourite part was his theory that maybe it's because he doesn't celebrate after a play 10 yards downfield. You mean that's a bad thing?

He plays for the Skins, so I'm sure he won the fan vote. Should be telling when your peers and coaches don't deem you worthy of voting you in.
Willis and Beason were both deserving this year. Maybe he got snubbed in prior years, but not this year IMO.

He definitely needs to crash his car, go to jail or do drugs. Hitting women is a plus. That way, he can headline his way into the pro bowl balloting. And oh yeah, be a team cancer and say stupid things on talk shows. Finally, he must have 13 children with 15 different women. Better still if half of them are related. :clown:

I'm with him on everything accept the HOF. He's been a really good player for a really long time. And he plays hard every week. He's a real leader out there. He's been that way where ever he's gone, and he's been a leader on some really good defenses. And I love his line about no celebrating a 10 yard tackle.
I put more stock into making the All-Pro team. He never made it.
I applaud him, hope he has some more good seasons left, and gets his due respect, but not the HOF.

I looked up the stats, and he probably DID get snubbed in 2006 and 2007, when he had a combined 7 interceptions. This year, he has no case. He has no interceptions and only credited with half a sack. Willis had one interception go for a touchdown and Beason had 3 interceptions this year. Willis and Beason were definitely the correct choices for THIS year...

He would have looked good in a Broncos uniform.

It's because London Fletcher is such a sissy name. He doesn't get any respect.
Now if his first name was Rasheed or even Turk, this would be his sixth straight pro bowl.

You might be onto something here:
His name is actually London Fletcher-Baker. Prior to the 2006 season, he adopted the "Baker" to his last name to honor his late grandmother.
What a sissy!

He got my vote for the Pro-Bowl this year, along with Willis. He is a consummate professional and deserves the recognition. Oh well.

HE was snubbed last year for sure. this year, he was probably a close 3rd to 2 as worthy or more worthy guys.

Who judges linebacker play on interceptions?

Let me go ask Nate and Winborn. This might take away because I believe they currently celebrating a tackle in the Raiders game.

No celebration = no ESPN face time = no noteriority amongst 16 - 25 yr olds.
If he did a Merriman type dance, teenage boys all over the land wouldn't be saying "London who?"
