Darren Rovell gets trolled on Twitter with ‘deez nuts’ joke
By Mike Dyce
People don’t like ESPN’s Darren Rovell. Why? Who knows? But he is consistently a target on social media and on Tuesday he was lured into one of the most beautiful ‘deez nuts’ joke traps ever.
It started out with a simple report about Dick’s Sporting Goods terminating their PGA Golf Pros. Nothing wrong with reporting that.
How much is the golf biz struggling? Dick’s Sporting Goods just terminated all their PGA pros in their golf sections

Of course this opened up the opportunity for Twitter trolls to work their magic, and one who goes by the name of Bear Bryant responded.
@darrenrovell NOT TRUE. I am a PGA Pro working for Dicks and everyone in my region is still employed!!!!

And Rovell bit.
@TR0LLTIDE what region is that?

This is where you’d insert the Street Fighter “FINISH HIM” soundbite.
@darrenrovell DEEZ NUTS

Of course we’re assuming Rovell didn’t notice that his Twitter handle has “troll” in it.
@TR0LLTIDE Troll, Tide, Troll!!
