Virile Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie must be having a tough day: he is stuck at home watching the Steelers and Packers duke it out in the Super Bowl, and one of his baby mama's has written a book about him. His ex-fiancée, corporate lawyer and former Miss Black North Carolina Rhonda Patterson, has written "Love, Intercepted: A Tale of Football, Falling and Failing in Love" about their relationship. But she doesn't actually refer to Cromartie by name in the book—only in exclusive Post interviews! "It goes nameless because the story is bigger than him. This is not a book to bash him. It's meant to help women avoid making the same mistakes I did," she told the Post.
Doesn't it undermine that reasoning just a little by talking directly about Cromartie, whose name is written six times and whose picture is plastered on the article, to the Post? Patterson says their romance started on Facebook—and as any baller would tell you, that's the best way to start a relationship with a jock these days. While his conversational skills were lacking, Patterson does praise his skills in bed: "I will give it to the man -- he's talented, well endowed, and . . . it was truly the best sex I'd ever had." She later found out about the other women, the STDs, and the many other children, but she still agreed to marry him; their romance ended when she says he canceled their 2008 wedding in Atlanta, nine days before she was to walk the aisle with a performance by the singer Fantasia. Let us add here, the 26-year-old Cromartie has nine children, by eight different women, in six states.
