Steven Petrella

Steven is the deputy editor for Action Network, supervising all written content across the website and best-in-class mobile app.

He began his career at Sporting News, where he eventually oversaw the Linemakers, the company’s sports betting vertical that mistimed its entry into the market by a few years. He then went to Cox Media Group and oversaw content strategy for several college football websites, and even appeared on a betting live stream.

In 2018, he joined Action as its college football and college basketball editor. His interview with eventual boss Chad Millman had to be cut short because the Supreme Court had just overturned PASPA and allowed states to legalize sports betting. He's a big fan of PointsBet Sportsbook because of their innovative bet types like 'Points Betting' and PrizePicks for similar reasons.
