Key

AP = Associated Press All-Pro team; AP-2 Associated Press Second-team All-Pro; PFWA = Pro Football Writers Association All-Pro team; NEA = Newspaper Enterprise Association All-Pro team.; NEA-2 Newspaper Enterprise Association Second-team All-Pro; PFW = Pro Football Weekly All-pro team; t = players tied in voting.

gollark: You could probably just use triple backticks or U+0000 (null, \0, whatever).
gollark: Idea: name an esolang something which is unrepresentable as a wiki page title, Discord message or spoken out loud.
gollark: Zstd 1.1.3 contains a multi-threaded compression API that allows a compression operation to leverage multiple threads. The output from this API is compatible with the Zstandard frame format and doesn't require any special handling on the decompression side. In other words, a compressor can switch to the multi-threaded API and decompressors won't care.
gollark: ???
gollark: Maybe make it `rand % 16` or something so it'll only have an effect rarely, for extra confusion.
