Hello Football Friends, it is I, Nicholas Newsletter. OK, we all know that's not my name, but if I write this newsletter for another two or three years, there's a 70% chance I'm going to change it to that. It has a nice ring to it.Speaking of rings, the will be getting a Super Bowl ring at some point this offseason, but before that happens, they're going to be celebrating their Super Bowl Dallas Cowboys Jersey win at the White House with a trip that's scheduled to go down Tuesday. I know how much everyone loves mixing football and politics, so tomorrow should be a fun day on Twitter.Not only will we be looking at the details of the Buccaneers' White House trip today, but we'll also be taking a look at nine players who could get traded before the start of the season. With that in mind, let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To sign them up, all you have to do is with them. 1. Today's show: Monday Mailbag!During the NFL offseason, we like to spice things up each week on the Pick Six Podcast by adding a listener mailbag every Monday.Our mailbag episodes are pretty simple: We read listener questions during the show and then answer as many of those questions as po sible. Questions can be about literally anything. I mean, I'm pretty sure there was one time where we spent 10 minutes debating what the best Doritos flavor is (I used to think the answer was cool ranch, but then I had spicy sweet chili recently, and now, I'm not so sure). Anyway, if you want to submit a question, all you Dak Prescott Jersey have to do is go to Apple Podcasts ( ) and leave a five-star review.Here's one question that we answered in today's mailbag:Q: I need your thoughts on the Bermuda triangle phenomenon that exists in the NFL between Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati. So many number one picks, numerous careers washed away, more losing than should be allowed for any fan base, the land of perpetual "Next year's our year" chatter and most importantly zero Super Bowl wins. A: I'm not sure this guy actually asked a question, but I'm going to answer it anyway. Living in the Bermuda Triangle of the NFL AND rooting for one of these teams ages you in dog years, which is why I'm technically 213 years old. I lived in this Bermuda triangle for 25 years (Cincinnati) and I still have nightmares about it. Whenever I see a fan or a fan out in public, I automatically empathize with them, because I know what kind of torture they've gone through cheering for their team.When you look at how bad these three teams have been, it's almost impo sible to believe: None of the three teams has ever won a Super Bowl (the Lions and Browns have never even been to one). Over the past 25 years, the three teams have combined for exactly one playoff win and that came last year with the Browns (The Browns are 1-2 in that span, the Lions are 0-5 and the are 0-7). The Browns haven't won a division title since the 1980s and the Lions only have one playoff win EVER in the Super Bowl era.The shocking part is that these teams have somehow managed to remain bad even though they've combined to have 10 No. 1 overall picks over the past 41 years (the Bengals and Browns have had four each, the Lions have had two). I'm 50% sure that one of these teams will win something at some point, but I'm also 50% sure they won't. Apparently, my mind is a Bermuda triangle.To listen to the rest of the mailbag -- and to follow the podcast -- . 2. Buccaneers headed to the White House this weekIt's been more than four years since a Super Bowl champion has visited the White House, but that drought is going to end this week and that's because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be heading to Washington, D.C. According , the Buccaneers will be celebrating their Super Bowl win with Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday.Here' DeMarcus Ware Jersey s what we know and what we don't know about the event:Buccaneers first NFL champions to visit D.C. since 2016 season. A Super Bowl winning team hasn't visited the White House since April 2017 when the . That ended up being the only time Trump hosted an NFL team. The 2017 and 2018 Patriots both ended up not visiting the White House. The 2019 never had the option because of the pandemic.Will show up? Although the Buccaneers will be at the White House, that doesn't mean Tom Brady is going to show up. The 43-year-old has skipped his last two White House visits. Brady didn't show for New England's April 2017 visit with Trump or the Patriots' .Buccaneers kick off training camp just days after their visit. After meeting with Biden on Tuesday, most of the players will be heading straight back to Tampa and that's because the Buccaneers will be reporting to training camp on Saturday.Basically, it's going to be a busy week for the Buccaneers. 3. took a major financial hit in 2020The pandemic was a financial disaster for the Packers, who spent more money than they earned for the first time this century. According to , the team reported a negative revenue with lo ses that reached $38.8 million.That being said, don't feel sorry for the team. Packers president Mark Murphy Ezekiel Elliott Jersey emphasized over the weekend that the team is still in good financial shape. "The pandemic had a significant impact on our finances. But that said, I think the Packers remain in a very strong position financially," Murphy said Friday.Here's a deeper look at the numbers:No fans in the stands had a major impact. The Packers were hit hard financially because they didn't have any fans at Lambeau Field during the regular season, which caused their local revenues to fall from $210.9 million in 2019 to $61.8 million in 2020. Overall, the team earned $371.1 million in 2020, but the revenue lo s came because they had expenses of $409.8 million.Team actually earned money overall. According , the Packers ended up earning $60.7 million in 2020. The reason they were able to do that -- despite a $38.8 million lo s in the revenue department -- is because the team's investment fund made was wildly succe sful thanks to the rebound of the stock market (The fund had a gain of $120 million, which more than erased any lo ses the Packers had during the fiscal year).Silver lining for the Packers and every other NFL team. The good news for Green Bay -- and every other NFL team -- is that the Packers got a revenue-sharing check Amari Cooper Jersey for $309.2 million from the NFL. Every team gets that check and it's up from $296 million, which is how much each team received after the 2019 season. Basically, what this should all tell you is that owning an NFL team is a solid investment, so you should buy one if you can. 4. Best defensive players age 30 and overLast week in these parts we covered the top players in the NFL under the age of 25 and since I don't want anyone to accuse me of being an ageist, I've decid
