The chief executive of the New Jersey Nets will have lunch with a fan who recently wore a brown bag over his head to protest the team’s woeful season. Nets CEO Brett Yormark and Chris Lisi of Middletown will sit down for lunch Tuesday at the Nets’ headquarters.
Lunch, of course, will be brown-bag style. Does this mean they will talk to each other while wearing brown bags on their head? I know thats probably too much to ask for, but would be awesome.
Yormark had a brief heated exchange with Lisi a week ago after seeing him with the brown bag on his head during a game. Yormark defended his actions the next day, saying he was standing up for his team, which is 9-64 and needs one win in its last nine games to avoid matching the NBA record for fewest wins.
I love the Nets organization for doing this. Here’s hoping Chris Lisi prepares a PowerPoint presentation. He should at least have flash cards.
The meeting will be streamed live at www.njnets.com. Yormark and Lisi will be joined by Nets radio broadcasters Chris Carrino and Tim Capstraw.
Someone should let the new owner Mikhail Prokhorov know that in the United States, if you don’t know how much money you have the IRS will help you count it. I’m sure the background check on Prokhorov was as tall as David Stern. Maybe one day lucky fans will get to go swimming in Prokhorov’s money bin.
