In Week 17 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ..., from this point forward, whenever workers plan to stage a walkout, they'll refer to it as AB Day.
- ..., when the season's over, Baker Mayfield will undoubtedly get a part in a "Monty Python" stage play, where he'll be decked out in a full-body cast and repeatedly say, "Tis but a scratch."
