4th and Short

It’s a Divisional Round Recap for some of us. For others, it’s time to eat a little crow. And for others, its time for witness protection… We talk about all the trash from this weekend of games: the G-men not showing up in Philly, Josh Allen losing his edge, and whatever happened in the last two minutes of that Dallas/San Fran game. Only 4 teams remain and we make our picks for Championship week,...

Wildcard Weekend delivered some epic moments and then some and we’re just spitting straight “fax” about all of it including: how far can the Jags and Giants go, how worried do Buffalo and Cincy need to be, and is San Fran the team to beat in the NFC right now? Plus, we’re making our cases for Daniel Jones, is “Chargering” a thing, and what exactly some coaches were thinking this weekend. And of co...

The clock has hit 0:00. The final game of the regular season has ended. That only means one thing… PLAYOFFS!!!! And since there’s only one of us with a team in the playoffs, that means we had to get the Crimson Cowboy back on the show! We’re talking through all the playoff matchups and make our picks for Super Wildcard Weekend. And as Matt prepares his face for its fate, we think back on the seaso...

It’s a brand new year but you’re still getting the same old crazy from the 4th and Short in Week 17! We get into all the playoff scenarios as it stands before the final weekend of regular season of football. With so many teams still playing for so few spots, we lay out every single possibility for the playoffs. Plus, we’re getting in on Christmas returns this week with what we’d like to get rid of...

Week 16 finds the guys on the road for the holidays, but still with enough time to give out some awards and let teams know where they stand for the New Year. The Packers are giving Matt hope again, but is it false? And how bad is this Denver Broncos season really? Plus, we’re giving picks for the Touchdown Draft and Pick ‘em Challenge in this short but important episode! Get your rapid NFL reactio...

It’s the Christmas Special with the 4th and Short Podcast! We’ve got everything short of some clay-mation figures and a snowman narrator! But we do have all the crazy action from week 15 in the NFL. In fact, we had to give out a brand new award just to cover it all. Plus, we’re still trying to figure out all the in’s and out’s in this year’s playoff picture. And our gift to you: a draft of the wor...

Baby, it may be cold outside…but the playoff push is heating up! We’re talking about who’s in, who’s out, who might get in, and who will just miss out!

Don’t miss out on another educational episode with The Steeler Fan and the Cheese… or should we say: DR. C...

Its History Week on the 4th and Short, brought to you by Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. We’re feeling retro this week as we discuss what players need to come back to help out our teams and what activities we want to bring back into our own lives. Plus, whose playoff hopes were hurt and whose were helped this week by wins, losses, and the injury bug. And yes, in case you forgot, the Bears still suc...

The power of the hashtag strikes again: #firetheWilsons works as Zach Wilson is out in New York. Now we’re just waiting to see if the Broncos do the right thing. We’re debating how many East teams make the playoffs, if Tom Brady and the Bucs are through, and when the Pack needs to show the Love. Plus, can we get some clarity on how a skunk made it into the Brown’s stadium? And what’s a Brown anywa...

Happy Turkey Week everyone!

Its been a while but the stink has caught up to us. And it finally caught up to the Eagles as we discuss their first L of the season!

We thought we could outrun them. We thought we could hide them. But today, its time to get all those terrible picks and hot takes out in the open. Its the Midseason Review Episode and we’re talking who is the cream of the crop, who’s the biggest surprise, and who’s the biggest disappointment. Plus a little vindication and a little verbal revenge for both the guys. And it’s almost time for a eulogy...

Tales of horror. Sleepless nights. The undead. Its Halloween on the 4th and Short Podcast! We’re spook-ifying Week 8 of the NFL season the only way we know how: hating on the boogie man himself, Tom Brady, while in costume. Bemoaning the issues of our own teams, the walking dead of the Steelers and Packers, while giving props to others who have added to the horror that is this years NFL (Eagles, V...

ARE YOU A CONTENDER, BROTHER? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? WOOOOO!!!! You’d think we’d be able to have some things figured out by now, but we’re still trying to decide who’s real and who’s fake. Who’s back after a slow start and who’s slowing down. What does CMC do for SF and did anyone win the offseason QB trades? And in a very important therapy session, the Cheesehead accepts the state of the Pack...

The NFL is turning upside down… We’re applauding kickers, awarding Dem Boyz, and avoiding the Pack… and the 4th and Short podcast is here to help it make sense. We’re making sure you know what to think of New York football, who the Eagles and Cowboys think they are in the new NFC Beast, and who the Packers wish they were instead of the Swiss cheese they are. Plus, are favorite Stranger Things comp...

And Matt decides to move up the timeline...

The NFL is the gift that keeps on giving. Week 3 gives us the Butt Punt, the division leading Jags, and the boring boxing match of Brady and Rodgers. BTW… what NFL players would you like to see match up in the ring? We’re talking about what concerns the Bills, Chiefs, and Chargers should have, plus if the Eagles and Fins are for real. And to wet your appetite, we set the lineup of perfect football...
