Autistic Kid Has “Perfect Bracket” So He Says
NBCChicago – An autistic teenager from the Chicago area has done something almost impossible. Nearly 48 games into an upset-filled NCAA tournament, 17-year-old Alex Herrmann is perfect. “It’s amazing,” he says. Truly. The odds of anybody of anybody doing that? One in 13,460,000, according to BookofOdds.com. It’s easier to win the lottery. Twice. “I’m good at math,” Alex, a Glenbrook South High School student, said. “I’m kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game.” Alex entered the bracket on CBSsports.com’s bracket challenge. CBS did not return several phone calls to confirm entries into its game. Alex doesn’t get anything for perfection. He entered one of three bracket games offered by CBS — the only one without a prize attached.
Let’s not all rush to suck this autistic kid’s dick quite yet. I mean I find it pretty weird that CBS Sportsline wouldn’t verify his bracket. Hey just because he’s autistic doesn’t mean he’s honest. But let’s say he’s telling the truth. There is still lots of basketball left to be played. Plus anybody can win when they are playing for free. Put some fucking money down on it Rainman and then get back to me. Math. Pfft. Trust me bro if all you needed to do was a little fucking geometry and watch lots of hoop I’d be fucking rich man by now. Bottomline is filling out brackets in magical pools with no prizes and no entry fee doesn’t even count as real picks in my book.
PS – You know what kind of bracket pools have no prizes? The kind you can change as you go. Just sayin….
yeah who does this little shit think he is??? way to bring him back down to earth from his ivory tower of autistic bliss
I love the NY smokeshows rack. Just saying.
jack, that was a fucking great comment.
the software does allow changes after the tournament begins. But the Hermann’s insisted that they filled out their brackets as a family before the tournament started, and haven’t touched the picks since.
So in other words the fucker is lying
the kid is basically quentin tarantino.
@ Slampig
Yeah…what are we talking about again and where am I? I blacked out from boobage
I don’t believe that it is easier to win the lottery twice. 1 in 13+ million doesn’t seem right for that
If this kid were so smart he would have picked a bracket with a prize in it.
the parents changed it so the kid feels better about being a rubber head…..just let the kid live and be retarded already
I call shennanegans on this as well. More of a hoax than the Erin Andrews thing. 5 minutes till Wapner.
NY smokeshow has a good rack, but i’ve seen better. El Pres maybe you could have a Boston vs. NY Rack-et contest. Set up just like brackets with 2 Divisions. We’ll seed our best smokeshows and pair them up, then we can vote on their racks to advance. The Final will be a Boston Vs NY Championship Rack-off.
Half the games right? If this kid was so good with math and numbers he would know that when it came time for the “super sweet 16″ that over 3/4ths of the games have been played. Sounds like this kid is a complete fake and spends too much time watching rich 16 year old girls throw birthday parties on MTV.
The shitty lotteries with 6 digit prizes that the lowlifes play will give you 2 in 13 million odds (usually better), but not the “real” lotteries. The odds of winning Powerball are 1 in 195 million.
Kind of pathetic you guys have nothing better to do than make fun of a kid whos autistic… I mean its all well and good, but just some stuff crosses the line with these comments… I am hoping that whoever is writing these comments is literally 10 years old, because if your older than 16 and still writing stuff like this…. Kind of pathetic
@ barstoolspokesmena
One person made fun of him for being autistic, thats not everyone. Everyone is just making fun of how full of shit he is, autism aside. Get your facts straight
hey barstoolspokesmena…STFU and take your phony outrage someplace else
Pres stop drinking hatorade.
“I’d be fucking rich man by now”
EP- You’d fuck “SELLHI”?
What “stats” is he most interested in on the TV – the final scores?
This story is retarded
