Before we get into the nitty-gritty of this beef, some background: Kellen Winslow, Jr. and Antonio Cromartie were teammates on the New York Jets for one season. On Tuesday, Cromartie jokingly told Dee Milliner (one of his current teammates) that he was on the roster bubble. It was clearly meant as a joke. From the looks of it, the two are probably friends.
The joke, however, didn’t go over well with Winslow, who weighed in on Twitter.

And then BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
@KellenWinslowJr you wish you were as good as your dad. Have you been to TARGET lately?

That joke is a reference to Winslow’s arrest for reportedly masturbating in a Target parking lot. He was none too pleased that Cromartie was taking shots at him, so he fired back with a vicious shot of his own.

In a 2010 episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks, Cromartie was asked to name all his children. He had seven at the time, four of whom were 3 years old. We’ll let you figure out how that happened.
For now, the beef is on temporary hiatus. But stay tuned, Cromartie probably has a few bullets left in his chamber.
