“The rest, as they say, is well known.”
I just don’t understand this. Who says “the rest is well known?” Is that a saying? I have heard of the saying “the rest is history,” which would be apt in this context. I’m not familiar with “the rest is well known.”

One person with knowledge of McLaurin’s contract negotiations told @nickijhabvala.bsky.social the veteran receiver has asked for more than DK Metcalf. Which would mean he wants to be top 4 among WR in AAV, or top 10 in guaranteed money, or top 5 in % of team cap www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...
Why Terry McLaurin and the Commanders still can’t reach a deal
As the impasse continues, with McLaurin absent from the team's second preseason game on Monday, some large questions remain unanswered.

I'm immensely lucky to have had him as a colleague and to get to see up close how a legend gets it done. An incredible run.
