Kellen Winslow Jr. Challenges Antonio Cromartie to Fight
Twitter beef tends to get real...real quick.
When NFL tight end Kellen Winslow threw some Twitter shots at New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie on Wednesday, he got response that touched a nerve. The epic rebuttal prompted Winslow to challenge Cromartie to a fight.
"Cromartie is one of the biggest posers I have ever seen and played against. Prolly the last guy I would take down an alley with me," Winslow began tweeting Wednesday, responding to Cro's comments about Richard Sherman not being the best cornerback in the NFL. "Worry about yourself Cro. Stop talkin. Your not even close to the best. You got bad feet and are scared to jam."
Winslow's persistence paid off, as his comments caught the attention of Cromartie, who offered some return fire in the worst way.
"@KellenWinslowJr you wish you were as good as your dad. Have you been to TARGET lately?" tweeted Cromartie. The low blow was a reference to a 2014 incident, in which Winslow was accused of masturbating in a Target parking lot in New Jersey.
That triggered a quick fight challenge from Winslow.
Not willing to take the loss, Winslow kept the Twitter trash talk going on Thursday, tweeting him, "@CRO31 U wish you were a Dad. Learn your kids names." That was in reference to reports that Cromartie has multiple children by several different women.
Cromartie declined to comment, when asked about Winslow by reporters Thursday.
