Once again the New York Jets faced some trash talk from inside their very own locker room. This time it came from tight ends coach Jimmie Johnson’s son after the Jets 24-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
He sent a shot at Geno Smith and another at Antonio Cromartie which was bad enough as it is until Cromartie himself responded.

Eventually, the account’s handle was changed to @JTre88, and he apologized to Cromartie.
“@CRO31 apologize for the tweet man, I really didn’t mean anything by it. Stupid tweet. I hope I get to apologize to you in person,” he tweeted.
“Those tweets were really stupid on my part. Will apologize to both of them if I get the chance,” he added in another tweet.
Both handles are now gone. He either changed it again or deleted his page completely.
Though Johnson later apologized, Cromartie is still pissed telling TMZ Sports, “I’m not going to apologize for what I said in regards to my kids. You don’t take a picture of my kids and talk trash.”
He continued, “People are constantly talking about me and I never say anything. I am a father, and I Love ALL my kids, and I will not allow anyone to disrespect them.”
“Again, you can talk about me all you want, but my kids are off limits. You just don’t play with people’s kids. His actions were unacceptable and hopeful he learned that.”
