No one ever has and, statistically, it's impossible ... or at least as impossible as getting hit by lightning, bursting your appendix, and winning the lottery at the very same moment. It's like a one in 128 billion chance.

I could offer you a billion dollars for a perfect bracket, and I don't have a pot to pee in.

I laughed when I asked my husband if he'd filled out a bracket. He said yes, and that he'd sent it to a paper in Oregon offering $10,000. I asked why he didn't just send it for the billion-dollar one, and he dryly responded: too much pressure.
