Do Not Let Facts Get in the Way of a Good Story
In recent days we have been hearing that Antonio Cromartie was able to get his wife pregnant even after having a vasectomy. However, there is a chance that Cromartie did not get a vasectomy. The idea that Cromartie had a vasectomy originally appeared in a book about a reporter's season with the New York Jets. Author Nicolas Dawidoff wrote that Cromartie told him he had gotten a vasectomy. However, Cromartie later appeared on Jay Mohr's sports show and claimed that he had not gotten a vasectomy. Cromartie supposedly responded to Mohr's question about whether he had gotten a vasectomy by saying, “Nah, nah, nah. Definitely not. Nah.”
I assume the story of a man getting is wife pregnant after a vasectomy even though that man would have a less than one percent chance of getting his wife pregnant is better than the story of a man not getting a vasectomy and then getting his wife pregnant. According to Wikipedia, a 2005 review found that there were only 183 failures out of 43, 642 vasectomies (0.4%) and only sixty pregnancies out of 92,184 vasectomies (0.07%). There is nothing superior about a man's penis/sperm when he gets his wife pregnant after not getting a vasectomy. You get to write headlines saying Cromartie's penis/sperm is unstoppable if he gets his wife pregnant after having a vasectomy.
