    Bahahahahaha! When he said 'a daughter which is three' I thought he was going to add 'it has arms and legs and hair.'

    HAHA!

    I assumed Antonio Jr was the "my junior" and I must have missed that "daughter who is three" since he appeared to have several who were three.

    Like I said, I only saw the clip once and now can't wait to get home to watch again.

    The thing is, and which most people don't even understand, he probably hasn't even seen most of these kids in months or even years. He probably has to stay away and just send checks.

    This is really a stupid thing to argue about. I dont think HBO wants to make anyone look badly, I mean has an issue like this ever emerged before, not that I can remember. I dont want to think that Cro cant remember his kids but I've had like 11 pets in my life, and it takes me a while to remember all their names. I dont mean to say that the bond between pet and man is the same as man to child (although for some its similar)

    It's the same reason why the ESPN MNF crew in 2003 allowed a drunk Joe Namath to be interviewed by Suzy Kolber on the sidelines during a game.
    A sports figure acting and talking like a moron is good for TV.

    You guys have totally nailed it.

    Or let me take it a step further. Do you remember in high school health class when they made you carry around an egg during Sex Ed? Do you remember what you named that egg? I don't. In fact, I think I had 3 or 4 eggs. Don't remember what I named a damn one of them. Who cares about that stuff anyway?

    Hell, even some people that will find rocks and put little googly eyes and paint hair and clothes on them and stuff. After a while, do you think they can name every googly eyed rock?

    I did once name a huge turd I made in the Army hospital at Landstuhl, Germany. January 2nd, 2001.

    Giganto-Loaf.

    I'm sure that has something to do with knowing the names of your kids.

    If they didn't manufacture the clip and tell him to say them more slowly for dramatic effect, then there should be no problem using the clip. It's a TV show. You look for compelling stories. A lot of football fans know about Cromartie's kids and thought that would be interesting. Him saying like 4 3 year old kids in a row, that's TV gold, I'm sorry.

    ^^^^^^^^^
    pretty much thinking the same thing. "Hard Knocks" is a NOW show.

    Come February, 2011, should the Jets win the SB, who'd waste time wondering who the hell won a "who cares?" early pre-season game? If so, it would only be because of the fact that it was the NYJ-vs-NYG and because of Eli's "bloody hat" flying courtesy of Mr. Pace....well, outside of Fatcessa..

    But by then, the WFAN-clown-prince's Jet-bashing would've long sailed in the national media spotlight...

    Meaning, Fatcessa=irrelevant.

    no surprise there are so many sticking up for him. he barely knows his kids names. he looked like an idiot because he IS an idiot. someone should have a birds and a bees talk with cromo and let him know that he will still have to support these kids after football when he isnt making good money.

    its a shame how completely irresponsible this guy is.

    a year from now everyone will be calling him a scumbag and say he is worse than kerry rhodes if he whiffs on a tackle the way he did on shonn.
