Is autistic teen's perfect NCAA bracket for real?
Have you read about the 17-year-old autistic boy in Chicago who picked the first two rounds perfectly in the topsy-turvy NCAA tournament?
March Madness this year has been filled with upsets, but Alex Hermann picked every game correctly so far, NBCchicago.com reports. (Here's video of a Today report on his picks.) The bracket was entered in a CBSsports.com contest, NBCchicago.com says. But CBSsports.com can't confirm the entry.
Here's the bracket, according to NBCchicago.com.
Some are questioning whether the teenager or his family can prove he really picked the bracket. Deadspin says a perfect score can easily be faked on the CBS bracket manager. This blogger on Guyism has gone so far as to insinuate that this might be the next "balloon boy" hoax.
For the record, Alex picks Purdue to win.
