TRADING E-MAIL WITH...
Bills middle linebacker London Fletcher

SI: How'd you get the nickname dot.com?

Fletcher: During the '99 season with the Rams, I was making a ton of big plays. Guys were saying I was totally connected with what the offense was doing, like I was linked online with it.

SI: When's the last time you lied about your height?

Fletcher: My senior year in college, at John Carroll [in University Heights, Ohio]. I asked to have my height listed as 6 feet. I figured it would be tough enough to get an NFL team interested in a Division III linebacker, let alone a 5'10" Division III linebacker.

SI: Which linebacker would you pay to watch?

Fletcher: Ray Lewis. He plays with a ton of intensity and does exactly what a middle linebacker should do, creating chaos and getting his guys to rally around him.

SI: Your feelings when the Rams wouldn't re-sign you?

Fletcher: I was mad as hell. I felt like I did everything I could for the organization. You look at it from a business standpoint, but you're still pissed off.

SI: What do you hate about the game?
