Do you know how many kids you have? Don't laugh, my man Antonio Cromartie of the New York "Pets", doesn't. (My man, FOUR THREE YEAR OLDS? 2006 must have been a very busy year for you.) Seriously....
Let me move on: Who knew that eye glasses would be the new Air Jordans in post racial A-merry-ca.
"DETROIT - He was an accomplished athlete with a promising future, but a gunshot ended it all. A young man was killed while leaving a club in Detroit; gunned down over a pair of glasses.
"Detroit Police say whether they are real or just knock-offs, you can loose your life over Cartier shades.
That was my only son. My baby," said Rose Ford, the victim's mother.
Ford loved her son more than life itself. 20-year-old Darryle Miller, Junior was a Northwestern High School basketball standout turned college star.
Miller was leaving a Detroit nightclub early Sunday morning. That is when Ford says her son was shot in the back. It was over a $2,400 pair of sunglasses that he refused to give up.
Miller had worked to pay for the Cartier shades and the killer took them after pulling the trigger.
"I never thought in a million years... that my brother would be the one to get killed over some glasses," said Latoreya Till, the victim's sister.
"My son worked for whatever he had whether it was his car, glasses, shoes, whatever. He worked for that and I feel you should do it, too. You don't go out and take (somebody's) life for a pair of glasses," Ford said.
"Somebody out there knows this individual who did it," said Detroit Police Deputy Chief James Tolbert.
The murder at Fort and Cass now tops their priority list. They are confident it will not be long before the gunman slips up.
"(He) told somebody or now he's wearing a pair of Cartier glasses or he just recently sold or pawned a pair of Cartier glasses, so he didn't just take them and put them in his pocket," Tolbert said.
While justice may help bring closure, one thing is certain, it will not bring Miller back.
"He has a baby. She adores him, and she can't see her daddy (any) more," said Ford.
Detroit Police also shared a disturbing statistic with us. They say there have been 15 to 20 of these murders over glasses in just the last year.
There are no suspects yet in this case. Call Detroit Police if you have any information. "

Quick, tell me five f*&^%d up things about this story. OK OK, the $2,400 sunglasses is easy. But can you find four more? I know I can.
1. My man is 20 with a child.
2. Why does any murder take priority over another one?
3. WTF was he doing in a club? He is 20 years old.
Finally, I think I found someone even more twisted than my man James. Bernard Keith Howell, you need Jesus.
