In this week's episode Ben Parker is back to talk all things NFC East. We continue the typical format of this Playoff Preview/Super Bowl Contender Series by digging deep on the Eagles and Cowboys. But discussing the Giants making the playoffs and the Commanders' collapse were too good to pass up. 

If you want to hear JUST about the contenders, skip to the 34 min mark of the podcast. 

At the top of the show, I do discuss the scary situation involving Damar Hamlin. I understand this podcast at this time might not be right for everyone. Ben and I saw this as 90 minutes to bring some joy to both our days, and anyone that is able to listen. Damar and his family are at the tops of our minds and thoughts, and we hope the same goes for all of you. 

Wishing you all the best, Damar. 

Enjoy the podcast. 

Here I have a 20 minute conversation with Ben about the Ravens 2022 draft class and some of their draft history. This didn't fit in the context of the series we have been in leading up to the playoffs, but I HAD to talk draft with Ben considering the Ravens were one of my highest grades classes in the league this year. Therefore, it's a BONUS EPISODE!

Enjoy! 

Welcome back to The Simon Shortt Podcast! This week I am joined by my buddy Ben to discuss the Baltimore Ravens - from Lamar Jackson's play and looming contract talks, to the on-field product and playoff chances. 

At the top I give some clarification on the episode as we will not be talking about the Dolphins considering the looming investigation into the Tua Tagovailoa concussion from Sunday, but I did mention the Dolphins while speaking to Ben. 

Instead I start the show with some talk on the Bengals and how they look down the final stretch.

Also check your feed for a special BONUS episode of the pod where Ben and I discuss the Ravens 2022 draft class, and some draft history. 

Enjoy! 

It's the 50th episode of The Simon Shortt Podcast!!! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to listen to ANY of the episodes. It really means a lot. 

In honor of that, I have on the owner of Fantom Sports, Shane Davis, to talk about his favorite team the Seattle Seahawks, and the division rival San Francisco 49ers. We start with Seattle to enjoy the fun year they've had, talk about what they need to do to end the season, and a little offseason planning. Then move down the coast to discuss the 49ers real chances at a Super Bowl. 

Again, thank you all for listening. Enjoy! 

It's Week 2 of our NFL Playoff/Super Bowl Contender preview series! This week I talk with Danny Siragusa of Fantom Sports about the Buffalo Bills. We go deep on the state of the team and what playoff matchups could look like for them in their quest for a Super Bowl. At the top of the pod I talk about the Kansas City Chiefs, and how they've done this season with their new look offense and young defensive pieces. 

Be sure to subscribe to the pod and stay tuned each week as we lead up to the NFL Playoffs!

What's up everyone! We have a new "series" starting this week as we near the NFL Playoffs. Each week we'll deep dive one or two teams that are in playoff/Super Bowl contention. We'll have a team expert on to discuss one team in full, while I spend some time at the top doing 5-10 minutes solo on another. 

This week I give a shout-out to the always competitive Tennessee Titans before having our friend Josh Limesand on to talk Minnesota Vikings! Josh is a beat writer for Stadium Rant and you can find a link to his work and Twitter account below.

Welcome back to The Simon Shortt Podcast! We have a big one for you here 2/3 of the way through the season. It's the perfect time to check in on the quarterbacks, and no better way to do that than looking back on the preseason episode/rankings done by Robertson Viar of Fantom Sports Industries. You can check below for the article Robertson put together compiling lists from multiple Fantom writers, and the podcast we did at the time. 

This week we wanted to both look back at the preseason rankings and talk about how the QBs are performing, as well as give our own updated lists. 

This is a longer episode, so the 52 minute mark divides the two segments. 1-52 is looking back and discussing some of the biggest risers and fallers from the preseason, and 53-1:46 are our current rankings. 

Enjoy!
