Recently, Antonio Cromartie told Sirius XM NFL Radio that he didn't believe Richard Sherman was worthy of being considered the NFL's best cornerback. Sherman responded back saying that Cromartie should be thankful he got a Pro Bowl bid, because Sherman was too busy getting ready for the Super Bowl.
Cue Cromartie's former Jets teammate, Kellen Winslow Jr., who did not appreciate his comments:
Cromartie is one of the biggest posers i have ever seen and played against. Prolly the last guy I would take down an alley with me. #NFL

Worry about yourself cro. Stop talkin. Your not even close to the best. You got bad feet and are scared to jam. #NFL

Just speaking my mind this morning. Anybody who talks to their teammates like that... Can't respect em.

Of course, with this being Twitter, where anyone can look up their name, Cromartie noticed:
@KellenWinslowJr you wish you were as good as your dad. Have you been to TARGET lately?
— ANTONIO CROMARTIE (@CRO31) June 10, 2015
DAMN. (In case you forgot why that Target line is significant.)
Winslow, Jr. is ready for a fight:
@CRO31 we should get in the ring.
— Kellen Winslow Jr. (@KellenWinslowJr) June 10, 2015
@CRO31 let me know. I'll whoop that ass.
— Kellen Winslow Jr. (@KellenWinslowJr) June 10, 2015
@CRO31 just know I'm ready for you. #Poser

Well, someone should get some popcorn. Preferably a bag from the Target food court.
UPDATE: 24 hours later, we have a comeback from Winslow:
@CRO31 U wish you were a Dad. Learn your kids names.

And Cromartie taps into his inner Marshawn Lynch:
Jets CB Antonio Cromartie declines to elaborate on his Twitter spat with Kellen Winslow. Jokes: "I'm only here so I don't get fined." #nyj
