Ask London Fletcher a Question

I was contacted by the Sporting News for assistance in putting together a quality Q&A with London Fletcher, which I am happy to help with given the quality of this community: 

We have a feature in every issue of Sporting News magazine called 5 Questions, where we have readers submit questions for the athletes, then we take the questions to the athletes and publish their responses. We¹re always looking for more creative/insightful/provocative questions because they prompt the best answers, and those types of questions come from die-hard fans.

What types of questions are we looking for? They can ask about anything they want, on or off the field. The more nuanced, the better. Knowledgeable questions that will lead to smart, funny answers are the goal.

Comment below with your question, and if chosen, your Hogs Haven will even get mentioned in the publication. Let 'er rip.

I'll go first....

If you had to share a studio apartment with any Redskin past or present for the rest of your life, who would it be and why?

It's 2 questions, yes. But I have to know.

Since your time with the Redskins, you have been there through a lot of the changes both good and bad. Has it been hard seeing some of the guys you worked with go on to other teams/things and because of the most recents changes (for the better?) did you ever wonder that you could be next?

My turn...

London when you retire will you start a second career impersonating Cee Lo Green?

Could you ask London if he can get me the name of Laron Landry’s PED supplier?

Younger Players Attitudes

Do you feel that the younger players have a committed work ethic today? Many younger players and younger people in general have a feeling of “Entitlement”. Are the players you see today working hard on/off season and field, or have that entitlement attitude?

Fan for over 30 years,
J

Fitness

Id just like to know what type of special treatment, players give their bodys?

ex. nutrition experts, chirpractor. (core strength excerciises) I believe some of this has to be God given, but aside from bench press’s and powdered mass formulas, whats the real deal to be NFL’s best!

2nd part of question, can you almost eat lunch w a Rookie and know if hes on a 3 yr plan or investing in a NFL Carrer

3rd part of question, How does anything change after a Sundays game (know its not a marathon, but its like seven days until next 60 mins of full out exertion) Ive read that SF in its heyday didnt even do pads between games. Id like to know if cardio or strength training is still practiced as in the off-Season

p.s. Ive heard of things like a runner’s high so its quite possible that the thruth could be stranger then fiction in some of the answers(imo) ie. Id almost believe the morning of a game, there may be a strong urge to hit the weight room, but in fact a lengthy stretching routine is all thats recommended (dunno really)

btw Thank you for at least reading my Q.

Questions...

How old do you feel, and how much longer do you want to play?

As the roster is today, who do you see taking over your leadership role on the defense?

Do you like being a 3-4 or a 4-3 linebacker better?

You seem pretty humble, but all millionaires have something they go all out on. What do you spare no expense on? (food, travel, clothes, cars, etc..)

Tackling

Who is the hardest player you’ve ever had to tackle and why?

by beltwaybanter on Sep 15, 2011 10:56 AM EDT reply actions  

Also, does he wear his Rams Super Bowl ring around Redskins park?

On the one hand I would think- yes, because a SB ring is way legit.

On the other- no, because Fletcher is all about the Redskins and the here and now.

by preppiejack on Sep 15, 2011 10:57 AM EDT reply actions  

Is there anyone on the team you feel comfortable passing the reigns over too?

Not that it matters since you’ll be playing here another 5 years, right? RIGHT?

London, at this point in your career what do you find most satisfying about playing with this group of Redskins?

Question for London Fletcher

Players from Rams, Bills and Redskins often speak highly of you as a person and a team leader. What do you think makes you such a great team leader and why do you garner such respect from your teammates? Hail!

Question #2 for London Fletcher

What is it about football that makes you so passionate about the game?

by sonnyandsam on Sep 15, 2011 11:51 AM EDT reply actions  

Question for London:

1. Do you see any simularities between this year’s Redskins and your Superbowl winning Rams team?
2. Why are you so awesome?
3. Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife. You gotta f*** one, kill one, and marry one, GO!

Your i-Pod

I think the songs in one’s playlist say a lot about them:
1) What is the most played song on your i-Pod.
2) What is your guilty pleasure song on your i-Pod that your teammates would give you the hardest time about?

Question for London:

Coming out of the lockout, the Redskins did not have a second starting middle linebacker. They offered a contract to Nick Barnett but he took Buffalo’s offer. It wasn’t until Rocky McIntosh was resigned that your opposite starting MLB was settled. Was that situation unsettling for you ?

by jmpalomo on Sep 15, 2011 12:17 PM EDT reply actions  

Question for London:

How long did it take to sink in that you are a superbowl champion after Mike Jones made that incredible tackle at the one yard line?

by jmpalomo on Sep 15, 2011 12:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Question(s) for Fletch:

Do you still think about not being drafted, and draw more motivation every year seeing the Cam Newtons and Ndamakong Suh’s come in with all this attention, without proving 1/100th as much as you have?

Also, how long after you retire before you start in on coaching? ( and will you coach the redskins first?)

by CJHutch on Sep 15, 2011 1:39 PM EDT reply actions  

London,

1 What do you think about the new NFL drug testing program?
2 What would you like to do after retirement? Would you consider working as a coach?

Chris Hanburger is an HOFer

and you are better than he was. Would you be disappointed if you are not nominated?

Fletcher you have been

Alright therapy I'm done I can't finish a post!

Hopefully this works, Fletcher you have been my favorite redskin to watch over your redskin career. I love your work ethic and how you play the game. So my question is did you have a football player you wanted to be growing up, if so who was it?

Serious question:

What are the similarities of being a college point guard and a NFL middle linebacker? In terms of responsibilities, leadership, play calling, etc… And how has that experience help you flourish as a linebacker and NFL player?

Here's mine

Every Redskins fan (and anyone else that knows the first thing about football) understands that you have been one of the most underrated players in NFL history. Do you think your team first attitude and old school workmanlike approach are partly the reason you have not received greater recognition? How many Pro Bowls would you have made if you had DeAngelo Hall’s mouth?
