Antonio Cromartie rips his critics: 'My kids aren't numbers'
At this point in his career, Antonio Cromartie has become more known for his parenting habits than his play on the field.
The 10-year NFL veteran gained notoriety as a father when he was featured on HBO's Hard Knocks struggling to recall all eight of his kids' names following a practice session with the New York Jets in 2010. Since then, his family has continued to grow in number.
Despite the cornerback getting a vasectomy, Cromartie's family welcomed twins, Jynx and J'adore, over the past weekend, making the 32-year-old a father to 12 children in total. Many fans took the opportunity to criticize his family, which didn't sit well with Cromartie.
I would respond to the idiots on my page, but I'm not I'm on Cloud 9. I have a beautiful family, my mom graduated college. And I'm at peace

Cromartie is currently a free agent, which should give him plenty of time to spend with his newborns and the rest of his family.
