Kellen Winslow, Jr., Antonio Cromartie Engage In Twitter Scuffle

Kellen Winslow, Jr. hasn’t played football since playing with the Jets in 2013. Winslow may want to find a job soon.

The Washington Times is reporting that Winslow and Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie are engaging in a Twitter war. The situation began during the Jets’ organized team activities when Cromartie grabbed a dead microphone and began interviewing cornerback Dee Milliner, asking Milliner how he felt “being on the bubble,” or in fear of being cut from the team. Milliner, who did not play last year due to a torn Achilles, is in line to back up Cromartie and Darrelle Revis.

Milliner was a good sport about the whole thing. However, Winslow took to Twitter when he read of the situation. Winslow called Cromartie “one of the biggest posers I have ever seen and played against” and probably “the last guy I would take down an alley with me.”

Winslow then told Cromartie to worry about himself and stop talking. “Your (sic) not even close to the best,” Winslow wrote. “You got bad feet and are scared to jam.” Winslow finished with “speaking my mind” and adding, “Anybody who talks to their teammates like that … Can’t respect em.”

According to Pro Football Talk, Cromartie decided to take the “discussion” a step further. “You wish you were as good as your dad,” Cromartie wrote, referring to Hall Of Famer Kellen Winslow, Sr. “Have you been to Target lately?”

Cromartie’s Target reference was a rather harsh prod to Winslow. Back in 2013, Winslow was arrested for being in possession of synthetic marijuana. Police were responding to a call from a woman who discovered Winslow in his car with his pants around his ankles masturbating. The police found the undisclosed amount of synthetic marijuana and two jars of Vaseline in the passenger seat next to Winslow.

A report filed by the East Hanover police department gives a bit more insight into Winslow’s arrest.

“As she exited her vehicle, she commented to the male regarding how cold it was. As she stood near the open driver side window of the Escalade, she observed the males [sic] erect penis. She stated that she believed he was masturbating. [The woman] provided a written statement regarding her account.” Winslow later told police that he was lost and looking for a Boston Market.

Winslow seems to have ended this round of the argument with an invitation to Cromartie to get in to a boxing ring so Winslow can “whoop that ass.” Stay tuned to see the next chapter in this discussion.
