Welcome to the 2019 All-Robio Report, where we have collected three teams worth of All-Robio players. Of the 18 QB-RB-WR-TEs on these lists, 12 are showing up for the first time ever. Heck, seven of the nine 1st-team players are not only earning their first 1st-team, but earning their first All-Robio anything. Calderon leads the…
As we head into week twelve, I think we can finally look back and see if these preseason keeper rankings were worth the paper they were not written on. It’s also a good time to see if there were any better keeper options for each team to keep. For some, the answer is yes. For…
Busts…they’re beautiful on women, but terrible for a fantasy team. Of course, perhaps they’re not such a tragedy since two teams that are currently a combined 13-1 have four players on the 1st-team All-Bust squad. FIRST TEAM ALL-BUST QB – Baker Mayfield (Rich B) He was expected to be the centerpiece of a resurgent Browns/Burrier’s…
Through seven weeks, it shouldn’t shock many that Calderon has three All-Robio players, while I have four. It makes sense, since he and I are first and second in scoring. However, we do not lead the league in All-Robio players. That would be Masterson, who has five total. He has two in the 1st, two…
Unfortunately, simply going back in time and see who scored the most is not how we figure out which running back had the greatest seasons ever. Fact is, we’ve made changes over the year. Until 2005, we played 14 regular season games. In 2014, we adjusted our scoring system to bring down quarterback and DST…
It’s time to recap what I had to say to you subjects week to week. WEEK ONE COLBY (L) ROBIO (W) 1275.0 – 1656.0 MATT (W) BOB (L) 1708.0 – 1229.0 ERIC (L) RICH C (W) 1202.0 – 1609.0 JEFF (L) ROB M (W) 1695.0 – 1897.0 MICHAEL (W) GRIFF (L) 1724.0 – 1074.0 DON…
We talked about the best starts in league history, so now let’s go with the league’s worst starts in league history. Oddly enough, despite being the team in the league with the most wins, my name appears often on this list, along with Eric. Griff and I have been to over half the title games,…
As my wife will tell you, I’m a little rough out of the gate, but a strong finisher. Others are just the opposite. Here is a list of those opposites, the best starters in league history and how they finished up. As you will see, starting hot has been pretty meaningless if mugs are what…
ALL-ROBIO TEAM Lamar has knocked McCaffrey off the top spot for League MVP, right? He’s been the top quarterback in half the games he played this year. Both Fournette and Henry show up for a second time, but Henry’s now done it twice in the last three weeks. Bob lands two first-team players this week,…
This post isn’t really a prediction. I can’t foresee injuries, adds and drops. I have no clue who Bob will get to give-up his best player for an injured running back. I can’t say for certain which superstar I’ll sent to Colby for a bucket of peanuts and a signed head shot of Tucker. Instead,…
Here are you first, second and third team preseason All-Robio selections. I tried not to pick all the obvious favors, although you’ll see plenty of familiar names. I have a three-way tie for most. Myself, Michael and Matt each have four on this list, although only the latter has a first-team player. Calderon and Matt…
The first round pick…for some, it’s the start of something beautiful. For others, it’s the beginning of the end. That first round pick sets the tone for the season and if you fuck it up, you, like a long actress hoping to land a part in Bob’s movie, could be fucked. The reality is, when…
Twenty seasons of Robioland Fantasy Football are in the books. 277 quarterbacks have produced a fantasy point in that time. Based solely on stats produced, both Drew Brees and Tom Brady will pass Peyton Manning and his 64,387 total fantasy points scored. They are the three kings of fantasy football at the quarterback position. Yet, like…
The championship game…where greatness goes to die. Or so it seems. Oddly enough, our title games have not always turned into the battles between two great squads. More often than not, it’s been a blow out. In total, 12 of the 40 teams that have competed in the finals has broken 1,500 points in the…
Below is a chart. That chart tells us all the important accomplishments by pick. What did we learn? We learned that it’s good to pick first. Of course, we knew that already. The top pick in the draft has made it to the postseason in 18 of the 20 seasons. The first overall pick has…
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them…this is the story of Bob Castrone. The year 2005 was a troubling time. Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana and flooded 80% of the city of New Orleans and their only hope was a former horse trainer named, Brownie. George W. Bush would…
While the top spot is as clear as crystal, the top two spots really came down to three folks: Griff, Calderon and Matt. Each has a good argument to be one spot behind Bob, but in the end, the tiebreaker will always been a larger collection of mugs. Through 11 seasons in this league, Neatock…
There was a more innocent time in this league. A time when Calderon was this cute little team that never managed to win any championships. A squad that made losing as a 2-seed in the quarterfinals their own thing (2008, 2010 and 2012). Yet, that team is no more. Instead, Calderon has become one of…
One of the weirdest stats to come out of the first two decades of Robioland football has been the one that says, if you dominate the semifinals, you’ll more than likely loss the title game. However, this has been proven less true lately. After I won it all in 1999, scoring the most in both…
It’s been a strange three years for Griff, who for the first time in his 20-year career in Robioland, has produced three straight losing seasons; two of which kept him from the postseason party. Perhaps he can’t win without Molly. Anyhow, while it’s not a Robio-style fall from grace, it’s certainly been a drop for one…
My career in this league can be summed up in three acts. In act one, I dominated the beginning. In the league’s first four seasons, I produced 48 wins, won four straight division titles, brought home a top seed, a scoring crown and a stunning 10-1 record in the postseason, which included three championships. Then…
Colby Hall is basically Rob Masterson, but with a least some accomplishments. With no more Molly, these two continue to battle for the “best team to never win a championship” title. Masterson has been a more consistent winner lately (with his eight straight winning seasons), while Colby has missed the playoffs twice in the last…
Rob’s career in Robioland consists of two halves. The first nine years in this league were pretty awful. He missed the playoffs in four of those first nine seasons, finishing above .500 just once. It was brutal, as Rob battled with Eric for king of the basement. However, things finally took a turn in the…
After placing Bob in first, there is no easier team to figure out their ranking than Burrier. The dude has earned the 8-seed six of the last eight trips to the playoffs (dating back to 2007). It’s like his second home. He belongs in the 8-spot. Rich has had himself a strange career in Robioland.…
Don, Don, Don…what to do with Don? After a shaky start in this league, where he produced just two winning seasons in his first five years and zero playoff wins, he actually had one of the most productive runs over an eight-year period. He attended the postseason party eight straight years (2004-2011), becoming the first…
Honestly, it remains too early to find a proper spot for the Pattini. He had such a brutal first season (3 wins and just 14,135 points), that featured six games below 1,000 and four weekly low scores. Yet, he followed that up with a stunning 10-win season, that delivered a top-seed, averaging 1,511 points per…
After a brutal first eight years as a solo artist in this league, where Jeff failed to qualify for a playoff spot six times, he’s actually shown some signs of life since 2015. He actually made it to the playoffs three straight seasons, which included one 11-win regular season and top seed, his first ever…
Let’s start off with the positive…Eric has been much better in this league lately. If I was rating just the last half-dozen years, he wouldn’t sniff the bottom. In fact, the younger Vozzola has made it to the postseason four straight years and reached the semifinals in 2017. Over the last dozen seasons, he’s crashed…
Using my flawless mathamatical equation, I have for years determined where each individual season ranks. I’ll probably be making changes to the math at some point in the future, but for now, this is how we do it. You can find the complete list HERE. Well, after twenty years of Robioland Fantasy Football, here…
Twenty years of Robioland Fantasy Football and we have some intense rivalries. This list, is not that. This list is about those foes you love to face. These are the top-20 most lopsided rivalries in league history (and two bonus ones). #20 JEFF OVER ERIC Mr. Greenblatt, to the surprise of no one, will only…
While Colby Hall was celebrating his record breaking 2018 regular season scoring crown (20,588); a record that stood peacefully since 2001, Rich Calderon was out there throwing some shade. He simply pointed out that, more than anything, Colby, like everyone else, benefitted from a season that saw record breaking scoring outputs. Rich was not wrong.…
The 2018 season gave us another Neatock championship. His fourth career title. Add in my four and Bob’s four and 12 of the 20 championships fell into the laps of three people. Only one former team has won a title, so that gives us four others who occupy the remaining seven championships. This leaves us…
Back in 2001, Robioland’s first season in New York, a man named Jason Carpenter, liked by none, produced one of the greatest teams ever. He easily earned the top seed after suffering just three losses during the regular season and three games later, was the first league champ not named Robio. That squad would go…
After nine seasons, Rob Gronkowski is hanging up his cleats for the last time (maybe) and now the debate begins…is he the greatest tight end of all time? His NFL numbers are telling…the second round pick out of Arizona, who clearly majored in “69ing,” earned five trips to the Pro Bowl. He was a First-team…
Ray Finkle…I understand where you’re coming from. The way “laces out” haunted the Dolphins fictional place kicker, Patrick Mahomes will stab at my soul for years to come. Updating Robioland Football this offseason was one of the most painful experiences of my life, as I couldn’t escape the simple fact that I traded away what…
ROUND 1 #1 MARC – Todd Gurley RB-LAR | POSITION RANK: #1I don’t want to go too far out on a limb, but I think this picked worked out pretty well. He averaged 372 points per game, the most for a running back since LaDainian Tomlinson rumbled for 389 points per game back in 2006. …
First up, as always, let’s give a shoutout to the runner-up. Another brilliant year for Calderon, who has really established himself as one of the greats of Robioland. He’s made the playoffs in ten of the last 12 seasons, taking four trips to the finals (three in the last six), winning two championships. This season…
This week is a lot like it was back in 2007. That year, we had one team who appeared to stand above the rest, yet struggled to just make it to the playoffs. In fact, that team needed to shake off a 1-4 start just to qualify as a middle seed (4th place). That team…
Welcome to another exclusive Robio Murray list, that will surely provide five to ten minutes of entertainment, depending on your reading skills. Today, I offer you a history of the first overall pick. Let’s get the ball rolling with a few fun facts. In the league’s first year, I picked my name out of a…
Upsets make things fun, but asking teams to keep it up round after round is asking for a lot. Thus, we end up getting a couple of semifinals matchups that look like potential blowouts. At least that’s what CBS is projecting. What do I say? #1 ALTERED BOYZ (MATT) vs #7 BELL’S PALSY (MATT)…
Eight teams. Seven Games. One Champion…and the only true way to get my dick hard anymore. Last year, I wrote in my headline for my predictions: Can anyone prevent Bob vs Matt? Well, the answer was no. The fact was, those two dominated the regular season like Black Panther dominated black actor casting calls and it…
With the regular season over, it’s time to start dropping some awards, as in All-Robio awards. Although, let’s be honest, based on all that players that are on this list, who use to be on my team this season, but aren’t now, I should consider renaming the award. Two things…whichever team ends the season with…
2000 – Robio Murray Entering the 2000 season, I was riding a 11-game winning streak, after earning the triple crown (top seed, scoring crown, league champ) in Robioland Football’s inaugural season. However, this year we introduced four new league members, so things should be tougher. The season got off to a slow start. I escape…
WEEK ONE ROBIO (L) MARC (W) 1186.0 – 1324.0 ERIC (L) RICH B (W) 1505.0 – 1506.0 COLBY(L) MATT (W) 1095.0 – 1695.0 DON (W) RICH C (L) 1895.0 – 1427.0 GRIFF (W) BOB (L) 1744.0 – 761.0 JEFF (W) ROB M (L) 1434.0 – 1116.0 TUESDAY THOUGHTS Holy hell fuck, the world has been…
We are a little past the halfway point, so it’s time to talk about those great players who have made some your teams great. So far this season, Calderon is the king of All-Robio, as he has four players earning a award at this point. Everyone has at least one, even Griff with a kicker,…
Rivalries…they’re not born. They’re made, slowly, over time. Of course, a few battles when it the matters the most (the playoffs) can speed things way up. Think Cowboys and 49ers. Those two teams never thought twice about each other, but after the battles in the early 80’s and again the early 90’s, these two teams…
Welcome to the 2018 preseason rankings and predictions. Before you determine these words to be worthless, let’s not forget, I predicted last year’s champion. Everything before that should be ignored. Why? Well, let’s look at the track record. Fact is, last year was the first time my preseason favorite actually won it all…ever. Here is…
Predictions, they are the cornerstone of a great commissioner. Sadly, predictions are sort of like a turd flavored, penis shaped lollipop…a good idea, but oh so wrong. My point…well, just see below. You will find all my preseason championship predictions, how they fared, plus who was the actual champion and where did I have them…
Keepers are in and it is time to rank ’em. Enjoy. #1 BOB CASTRONE Rd 1 – Ezekiel Elliot Rd 7 – Marquise Goodwin Rd 14 – Deshaun Watson Sick and tired of Bob owning this league like Ted Bundy at a Sorority House? Well, tough shit, as he enters the 20th season of Robioland…
