Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

Silly question


Does anybody know who the auditor on the NBA Draft Lottery is? I was on Jeopardy once and there were auditors all over the place looking over your shoulder and making sure shit was on the up and up. I thought of this because my day job is tracking references to PricewaterhouseCoopers in the press. They've done the Oscars forever. Surely there must be a third party at the lottery to make sure its not fixed (not that that's going to convince many people its not, but still ...)

I believe it’s Ernst & Young.

Have friends

that have worked at Ernst & Young. Not there anymore and of course that was E&Y in Toronto. But thanks.

It was a Kick.

When it came time to talk to Alex I talked about basketball (naturellement). People backstage were really cool and nice. But don’t misspell anything in Polish. Costs you big time.

Lottery balls

I hate it that I’m thinking lottery balls and it’s only January (plus the season didn’t start till Christmas). But I reiterate my rock bottom philosophy, lottery balls will just disappoint. Hopefully the depth of next year’s group will help.

Well, we’re pretty much guaranteed a top 6 pick, barring a miracle trade which makes us better, and we should be able to pick up a solid big man at that spot.

With next year’s top-6 pick, I envision JOD choosing Prince’s eventual replacement at SF.

I agree

There’s gotta be someone who stands 6’7’’, shoots 37% from the floor, and is thinking to himself…“I’m one good stomach flu away from being a 1st rounder…” in the Sun Belt conference, or possible Mozambique.

Who am I?

I’m just a theology student living in Toronto. I also used to watch the Pistons at Cobo. My brother lives one exit away from the Palace so I really must get there sometime. And I spend way way too much time lurking here.

What type of theology?

Reformed

Working on MDiv for ministry as a fourth career. Thesis is on the philosophy of Wittgenstein and intersection (or lack thereof) of religious and secular language games.

My day job

I work part time tracking the accounting industry in Canada. There was a feature on David Kahn in which he questioned the integrity of Ernst and Young and their monitoring of the draft lottery. I marked it negative for Ernst and Young (who are not the ultimate client) on principal.

by gordbrown on Jan 22, 2012 9:36 PM EST reply actions  

Oops

Sent it back to the client. But will try to find.
