Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
It took three months, but for the first time this offseason, the NFL has been put on the back-burner of the national sports scene. Between the PGA Championship, the NBA postseason, the Stanley Cup playoffs and Nick Saban/Jimbo Fisher both trying to turn college football upside down, the NFL isn’t exactly a major headline right now, except here in your friendly neighborhood newsletter.
