Antonio Cromartie says Hard Knocks segment now earning him ridicule reshot by producer reshot

"It seems the New York Jets’ star turn on reality TV might not be entirely real," Bart Hubbuch writes, adding, "Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie turned the tables on HBO’s 'Hard Knocks' documentary series yesterday, telling The Post that his much-discussed interview scene in Wednesday’s episode was restaged by the segment’s director. Cromartie found himself being roasted on blogs and in print for appearing to struggle mightily with the names of his eight children and their ages in what was portrayed as a casual, post-practice chat on some football padding. But Cromartie pulled back the curtains on the Emmy-winning series yesterday by telling The Post the scene that has earned him so much ridicule was a second take ordered by the director."
