The Twitter spat between former New York Jets teammates Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Cromartie has been pretty ugly. It all started with Winslow going on an unfortunate rant about how bad of a teammate Cromartie was and the fact that he believes the Jets corner isn’t among the best in the league.
Once Cromartie recognized that his former teammate was throwing some shade his way, he responded:
@KellenWinslowJr you wish you were as good as your dad. Have you been to TARGET lately?

Ouch.
That was in reference to an incident in 2013 that saw the former NFL tight end arrested in a Target parking lot for possession of synthetic marijuana after a woman alerted police that he was pleasuring himself in public. Police found a couple cars as Vaseline in the car.
Not to be outdone by the tremendous amount of shade being thrown his way, Winslow responded:

Oh man. Now that’s just getting personal.
It is reported that Cromartie has fathered 12 children with eight different women.
In any event, this has to be one of the ugliest athlete-on-athlete spats in social media history.
