Episodes

  1. S8 E7 - Week 8

    I'm just now noticing that the episode number doesn't match the week number because we missed a week. I may not recover. Anyhow, Diesel is joined on this Halloween week by a very Sgary guest host. They cover the general league business before diving into Mascot Mayhem. You can't ask for much more.

  2. S8 E6 - Week 7

    Stoat and the Commish are joined at last by Owen, who now has the honor of being the only to have more children born during the season then wins. Go Guards, bunch of suck jobs.

    A former/present, and former commissioner are present for a recap of the former week of action in the NFL, and preview the present week. Meanwhile, the usually former and sometimes present director of STDs makes an appearance to present a situation that formerly took place.

  4. S8 E4 - Week 5

    So we missed a week. Where was the bootleg? Guess you all have lives too. There's a hooker in these hills and he has a bone to pick with the Commish. Vieni in fretta, cagata rumorosa

  5. S8 E3 - Week 3

    I don't know what this pod is about. I know the Commish is on it and I know Alocke is the special guest host. I can only assume there is a lot of yelling about the Browns and socially inept answers to simple questions. Enjoy. - Stoat

  6. S8 E2 - Week 2

    If you ever wanted to listen to two guys whine about how bad their fantasy football teams are, boy do I have a surprise for you. Diesel and the Commish also check some overreactions, talk investment strategies, and make picks for next week's games. In solidarity with Mackelmore, this podcast will...

  7. S8 E1 - Week 1

    With football back in our lives once again, it was only a matter of time until Don't Fear the Keeper had something to say about it. With a full compliment of hosts, the guys give draft grades, provide an injury report, and predict the results of this week's matchups.

  8. S8 E0 - Predraft

    The triumvirate is back in session. This pod really comes down to whether you think keeping James Cook in the 3rd round is good value.

  9. S7 Offseason 1 - Wedding Recap

    Celebrating the newest member of the league to tie the knot, Diesel and Alocke sit down to recount the stories of the weekend, hand out some trophies, and pass along some marital advice. FYI - I only used transitions that I knew wouldn't be flagged.

  10. S7 Episode 18 - Postseason Recap

    The league winner and loser were decided, and it totally doesn't matter how much either game was decided by.

  15. S7 Episode 13 - Week 13 (Rivalry Week)

    The pod is back, and this time it's personal. This week your hosts will swim into yet another rivalry week in the way only they can. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll zone out in the middle of something Chuck says and have to rewind. Buckle up buttercups.

  16. S7 Episode 12 - Week 12

  17. S7 Episode 11 - Week 11

    Stoat and the Commish get together for a good old-fashioned guestless episode. We recap an exciting week of games, place banners atop several local and national promontories, and look ahead as the playoff picture comes into full view. This pod tastes like Pepsi Cola.

  18. S7 Episode 10 - Week 10

  22. S7 Episode 5 - Week 5

    The Commish and Commissioner are back again, basking in the glorious refractory period between a Guardians playoff win and a yet unknown Guardians playoff exit.

  24. S7 Episode 3 - Week 3

  33. S6 Episode 8 - Week 8

    It's a stoat-free episode, but we make up for it with plenty of 'squatch. Coming in as a spot-starter, Brian helps Diesel recap the week, travel the world, and even debut a new stat. Please enjoy the end of the episode where I discover live that Mike Evans pulled his hamstring.

  34. S6 Episode 7 - Week 7
