Darren Rovell

Darren Rovell (born June 30, 1978)[1] is a sports business analyst who works for The Action Network.

[4] On November 28, 2018, The Action Network announced that Rovell was joining the company as a senior executive producer reporting to Michael J.

[7] On November 17, 2011, Rovell sent a tweet to his followers on Twitter, asking them to come forward with stories about how their businesses were losing money during the 2011 NBA lockout.

A high school senior named "Tim," annoyed with Rovell's behavior at the time, created a fake name and email account, telling Rovell online that he owned an escort service in New York frequented by NBA players, which was losing 30% of its business.

"Tim" came forward with the story months later to the website Deadspin, because, he said, "he's just such a [expletive] on twitter all the time [I] just got fed up."
