"London Fletcher took to Twitter to try and make Sunday's Pro Bowl a little interesting for the fans at home, but the NFL apparently decided he was making it a little too interesting.

Within 20 minutes of hitting send, Fletcher's tweet apparently caught the eye of a league official, prompting him to pull a reverse."
