In a seemingly neverending quest to accommodate the tastes of all users, I have created new user roles for the site. If you are not happy with your current role, please let me know your preferences.
- Subscribers: by default, general subscribers (which is to say anyone who registers an account) have access to PUBLIC posts only and not PRIVATE posts. If you want to view private posts, you must “opt in” by sending an email to me at steelballs@thenetmail.com.
- Authors: by default, authors have access to both public and private posts. Note that this is the opposite default as for general subscribers. If you would prefer not to view private posts, you may “opt out” by sending an email to me.
I am not rendering value judgements here. I use my computer in full visibility of a bunch of other people and prefer not to have NSFW stuff on display, so I opt out of viewing the private material. I enjoy the site 10x more with that stuff turned off. But, to each his own and we can accommodate both.
And the winner is……..
Eight Ballers correctly predicted 11 wins for the Steelers: copanut, steelerfan58, chicosteelersfan, tompaulbillybob, malsor, writersrock, tuskegee_brown, and bgintn. Saneman also predicted 11 wins although the entry was late and lacked tiebreakers.
Of these eight, four also correctly predicted 10 wins for the Bengals: copanut, steelerfan58, writersrock, and bgintn.
Of these four, none correctly predicted either the Ravens or Browns. Steelerfan58 and bgintn were closest with 8 wins for the Ravens and 6 for the Browns. Mack was similarly close overall but missed on the Steelers which is the most important prediction.
Late breaking change: Because of the Bengals tie, tuskegee_brown is equally close on their record as he predicted 11 wins for them. He was also closer on the Browns pick than steelerfan58 or bgintn. Therefore….
So…. Baller honors this year go to steelerfan58, bgintin, and tuskegee_brown in a tie. Well done, gentlemen.
See the 2014 predictions below the line…
