This article is being written on December 26, 2023. It will be edited for publication on January 5th, after I have received all of the entries for this year’s contest Everyone’s A Genius In Hindsight – 2024. I hope that you participated.
This post contains my answers. 20 brave souls entered this year. Brave in that they won’t be able to pretend that they always knew who would win the presidency in November or just how good, or bad, the 2024 Browns really were. I truly appreciate each and every participant. A year from now, in early January 2025, we’ll see how well they did. Now is the time to go on the record with my predictions.
First, I really hope that most of my predictions are wrong. I’ve been sitting on this article for over a month. I don’t wish to be negative, but I had these predictions in my head as I was drafting the quiz.
