DeSmetBilliken Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 3 hours ago, Old guy said: If he is joking about Jett's name plus an uncorrected error in his SLU record reports, he is putting Jett down for his own internal reasons. This is plainly a pile of garbage, what could Jett have possibly done to get this slap on the face coming out of nowhere? First, I don't think he is putting down Jordair's name. Here's some background: During our NCAA tournament game against NC State in 2014, Rovell tweeted a screenshot of Jett's bio on the SLU athletics website. SLU's SID office had failed to update his major to Communications from "Deciding". So, the tone of the tweet was "Hey everyone, look at the dumb senior who doesn't have a major." Brian Kunderman, the SLU SID, replied to Rovell's tweet and informed him of such error, and also fixed the bio. Rovell was unapologetic, but did acknowledge that Jett was getting a degree. Fast forward to yesterday, when Rovell tweets about the bio again, with no mention that the whole thing was a failure to update the bio. Finally, for reasons that go beyond this, Rovell is a pile of garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Those with twitter accounts need to just blast this guy all day. Hell, it's a snowy Saturday, what else do you have to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken did you read the whole tweet from Rovell that you posted: Darren Rovell ✔@darrenrovell Best athlete bio in NCAA history. First, amazing name for a basketball player. Second, status of major... 9:14 AM - 10 Mar 2017 Amazing name for a basketball player is what he says. Maybe I am a bit sensitive but this sounds to me like another dig for no purpose except to dump on him. 1,619 likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 One of the all time great d-bags in and around sports. Does anyone actually enjoy his input, or has he made a career purely off hate-reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good drinking game--take a shot every time Rovell tweets or says the word "brand." The best description of him I've read is "the most annoying, pompous from your undergrad marketing class."

Now we know why he's such a slimeball. He was the kid who got picked last for anything remotely athletic and grew up with a chip on his shoulder. Now he can 'get even' with all of those meanies. Poor Darren Rovell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Rovell moves like he has arthritis. I saw better dribbling at my son's kindergarten YMCA game last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
