Former Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher retired after the 2013 season.

Since he will no longer face Tony Romo on the field, Fletcher couldn't resist taking one more shot at the Dallas Cowboys quarterback Thursday morning on Twitter.

In honor of the opening day at The Masters, NFL AM tweeted a photo of Romo sizing up a shot while golfing with Tiger Woods. NFL AM was looking for captions for the picture, so Fletcher provided one.

@NFL_AM @TigerWoods @dallascowboys "why is he taking all this time just to choke?"

Perhaps Fletcher is still angry that his 16-year career came to an end with a 3-13 season, which included a pair of losses to Romo and the Cowboys.

Little man syndrome...

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Or that he was never invited to participate in a Pro-Am tournament.

 

[Midswat]

Well he asks a valid question.

They should compare bank accounts.

I'm guessing Fletcher would come up short.

I'll be here all week.

 

[Jon88]

Oh I get it because he's short!

 

[Texas Ace]

Well, Romo is a choker.

 

[Jon88]

He chokes at the worst times possible too.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Yes Jon that is the definition of a choker. Good job, buddy.

 

[Midswat]

Well.... How'd the choker do?

 

[Jon88]

Yes Jon that is the definition of a choker. Good job, buddy.

Some guys choke in the playoffs like Manning has for his entire career. Romo will throw an interception or even worse pick 6 at the worst time possible. That's what I meant.

Does anyone have London's twitter handle?

Well until he does something to change that, he is unfortunately.

At this point in his career I doubt he does anything to change it. He just can't stop himself.

I think Quincy Carter put a curse on him and is able to control what he does 2-3 plays a game. That's where those "what the fuck was that shit?" plays come in.

That's my thought too but since he is here and we are stuck with him, I still hold out hope.

If I were running things at VR I would have traded him for all I could get last yr before signing that big contract.

The 3 stooges have no confidence in themselves in finding our next good QB. It really was a "muracle" that they found Romo.
