AS they have been known to do in the past, Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch and ESPN’s Darren Rovell engaged in a dumb Twitter battle on Tuesday morning. The whole thing started when Rovell tweeted a picture of a lot of empty seats in Sochi, and things escalated (and got very personal) from there.
Take a look:

@darrenrovell You might want to check today's weather conditions, Sam Champion.

@darrenrovell Your coverage of the Sochi Games from New Jersey, as always, is impressive.

@richarddeitsch right, because your TV guide is so much better when it’s written from Russia.

@darrenrovell I'll let Tim Layden, who covered today's Giant Slalom for SI, know that you thought the weather was nice for crowds.

@darrenrovell You talking about reporting is Darren Rovell talking about reporting.

@darrenrovell I talked to your old boss Mark Lazarus. He said he misses the 15,000 people who watched your CNBC show.

@richarddeitsch you mean the show that I hosted for a year and that they committed to continuing had I not left?
