Joe Lunardi on the start of bracketology and working for ESPN

In Episode 5 of “In The Front Row with Mike Vaccaro” we sit down with the original Bracketologist, Joe Lunardi from ESPN.  Growing up in Philadelphia, Joe’s love for basketball started while following his favorite player Wilt Chamberlain.  That love would grow with time spent at the historic Palestra watching Big 5 Basketball games and working with Hall of Fame coaches.  Previewing college teams for the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook would eventually turn into predicting the brackets for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and a movement that would become known as Bracketology.  Hear about the fan bases and the coaches who follow Joe and await his updated brackets.  Joe also tells us about his kryptonite school that he’ll never get correct.  Plus, we talk about his book, his bobblehead and what he has in common with Kate Upton.
