    He doesn't even have to sweat the afternoon games. 20 games in and it is over instead of having to negotiate at the final four.

    Jay Bilas was saying the NCAA was pretty upset with the whole Warren Buffett thing, and it was a genius marketing ploy for Quicken loans....but the chances of a bracket being perfect was so low....you had a better chance of hitting the Powerball twice in the same week

    It's the equivalent of a pickem being up 35-0 after the first quarter. No sweat.

    When will people realize that Warren Buffett had a better chance of getting of getting impregnated by a unicorn than paying out the billion dollars. Cmon people.

    Buffett was laughing at all the fools who entered the billion dollar contest.

    Everyone lost right when the opening game was tipped.

    There's actually 15 perfect brackets left. I think 8 of them have Florida as the National Champion.

    Even if they don't get a perfect bracket, Buffett is still giving away $100,000 to each of the top 20 brackets.

    Brilliant!

    He offers a $1 billion bracket
    Buys an insurance policy from Lloyd's of London
    Expenses the premium to his companies
    And gets a nice tax deduction
    Still pays less taxes than his secretary
    Gets free advertising

    Brilliant!

    nah, they're giving out 2 million in prizes

    it was worth it to enter even though everyone knows a perfect bracket is basically impossible

    There were still perfect brackets left after Duke lost, but they all were eliminated by the end of Friday.

    I said before the tournament that no one would be perfect through the opening weekend. No one ever gets that far.
