Very interesting. Seems like a whole lot of story to make an exceptional athlete seem like a great person. I'm a little surprised that the writer was able to write about his five kids under the age of 3 with no judgment. Then, that whole part about not making any decisions without is mom? How is that a good quality?
From the article: He doesn't want his children, who live with their mothers in Texas, Georgia and Florida, to have to overcome a tough childhood. He doesn't want them to be escape artists. He wants them to have nothing to escape from. Here's what a profile about him has to say: "I want to teach them not to make the decisions I did." Do those bad decisions include having 5 kids by three moms in 3 years? Cromartie sounds like a good guy who has suffered through some tough times to get where he is. But after having been raised by a single mom who also went through all those tough times, one would hope that he would understand the value of having a father living at home as well.
On the cover of sporting news Cromartie looks jacked.. at first I thought it was a UFC fighter or something.. and cjets, I really doubt he'll realize how important that is. Or if he does, I would bet he never acts upon it. But great story nonetheless.
