Since no one with actual baseball knowledge is willing to give a prediction, this leaves me to do it. Since I’ve never actually seen any of these players play, there is little chance I have any idea of what I’m talking about. Yet, here we are. Now baseball is a long season. There are too…
The Dynasty
Bob earns a third championship, becoming the league’s greatest team Let’s face facts, Bob Castrone probably deserves multiple historical posts. It’s been that incredible of a six-year run, that was just topped off with back-to-back titles. When he beat Burrier in the 2011 title game, it had become official…Bob passed Robio as the greatest team…
The Greatest Weekend
Bob, Rob M, Rich B, Matt, Colby, Griff, Molly and Don produce the greatest weekend ever in the 2011 Quarterfinals You know, we all should have seen it coming. Heading into the first weekend of playoff football, any smart fantasy football fan would have smelled the greatness coming from a mile away. There were just…
The Dynamic Duo
Griff and Molly get higher than anyone ever has, breaking the combine scoring record in week 13, 2011 Heading into week thirteen, no one really cared too much about the match up that featured Griff and Molly. The fact is, this game didn’t have much of a purpose. Both teams already had their invites into…
The Streak, Part II
Matt Neatock scores at least 1,250 points in 12 straight games from 2010-2011 Nine weeks into the 2011 season, Matt’s season looked like a bust. Yes, he was in first place in his division, but it was the weakest division by far. He had recently lost four of six, including a 1,632-1,376 defeat to Colby,…
League Trades
Here is a long list of all trades in this league through the years. But just to wet your appetite, here are some facts. I lead the league with most trades with 32 total swaps. However, if you calculate trades per season, Matt was the leader with 2.55 prior to 2012, but after he performed…
Keeper History
Here you will find a list of all the keepers kept by all current teams. First though, let me remind you the brief history of our keeper system. 2004 – First year of keepers. In this season you could keep up to three players. The first two had to come from rounds 1-10. The first…
2012 Keeper Options
Here is how it works. You’ll see a letter and a number next to each player. The letter is how many years of eligibility they have left. “A” means two years left, “B” means one more year. If they were a “C” it means they are headed back to the draft pool. Don Vozzola CATEGORY…
2011 Player Stats
2011 Season Rankings
To see all 153 seasons, go here. #9 Molly Coomer (281.9 points) – This is the first time Molly has entered the top-10. Her points put her there, but first-round exits are killers in these rankings. Her 2011 was officially the third greatest by a non-championship team, behind 2000 Rick and 2010 Robio. #18 Rob…

Record Are Meant To Be Broken, 2011
It was a record breaking year in Robioland, thanks to some monster scoring. In fact, four records have fallen this year. LEAGUE RECORDS: 209,130 total points were scored this season by ALL TEAMS, an average of 1,342 PPG. It is the most points scored in one season by all 12 teams. Congratulations to all. 17…
2011 Draft Rewind
ROUND ONE 1. ERIC – Chris Johnson (RB HOU) – Position Rank: #13 Don’t be fooled by the #13 ranking. Johnson was a huge disappointment. He was suppose to be the guy who began a new era of fantasy football for Eric, yet he sat in the low 20’s among all backs for most of the…
Updated Playoff History
Big news in 2011. As Bob became just the second person to ever repeat in Robioland, he also managed to pass me in playoff winning percentage. He’s won 75-percent of his games, improving to 6-1 in the first-round. Meanwhile, Griff, the former king of round one, has dropped two straight in the quarters, falling to…

Bob: Three-Time Champ
It’s official, Bob is the 2011 Robioland Football Champ. Thanks to his most impressive finals game to date, Bob has taken down Burrier, 1,590-1,283. Mr. Castrone becomes the league’s first back-to-back champion since 2000. He also becomes the first person to win at least nine games in six straight seasons. How impressive is that? Put…
2011 Playoffs: Thoughts & Predictions
Let’s look at the 2011 playoffs in a different way. Instead of a typical (yawn) team-by-team breakdown, let’s instead look at some of the big story lines we should be focusing on in this post-season. Here are 50 things you need to know about the 2011 post-season. 1. It’s all about the arms It’s a…
2011 All-Robio Awards
Before we get started, I just want to point out that this will be the first time in league history that I didn’t produce a first or second team All-Robio player. I promise not to weep in public. However, I also failed to deliver a third-team All-Robio player. This means NO All-Robio players at all.…
2011 Mid-Season All-Dud Team
First-Team Dud QB – Sam Bradford (Matt) While no one was predicting him to be an elite quarterback along side Brees, Rodgers and Brady, he was certainly expected to be able to start for your fantasy team. However, not only has Bradford not improved this season, he’s taken a huge step back. He’s currently ranked…
Keepers, The Ones You Regret
The other day, Calderon was getting sick and tired of all the props I’ve been giving Matt for keeping McCoy over Vick. Of course this might have had something to do with the fact that Rich got “stuck” with Vick. Anyhow, he wanted some props for keeping Calvin Johnson in round two over Antonio Gates…
Superman, Where You At?
Everyone has his or her kryptonite…that one opponent you just can’t seem to beat. For me, it used to be Don. He beat me seven straight times, until last year when I finally got that monkey off my back by beating him twice, including the post-season. Now I have a new monkey (i.e. kryptonite). Here…

First Ain’t Always Best: Running Backs
The question of the day wasn’t if the Carolina Panthers would draft Cam Newton (they did), but rather, how early will Burrier take him in our 2011 draft? Considering Burrier drafted both Matt Leinert and Mark Sanchez as rookies over the last five years, keeping them both the following year (the one exception was when…

The Nickel Bag
Burrier becomes the first five-win team to earn a playoff birth, 2010 It had been a rough few years for Richard Burrier. He was once a great champion in this league, but he had fallen on hard times in the post-L.T. era. In fact, he had failed to quality for the post-season two years running.…
The Forgettable Four
Eric, Molly, Jeff and Masterson hit rock bottom together, 2010 While someone always has to win a championship every year, another team has to be the worst. One team really has to stand below and beyond everyone else in the basement. Well, in 2010, the four teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs went…
The Dirty Dozen
Robio puts up the most wins in a regular season ever, 2010 Winning in head-to-head football isn’t always about greatness. It also involves some luck. However, to win nearly all of your games, it involves both greatness and luck, as I learned in 2010. 2009 was a rough one for dear old Robio. I suffered…

2010 Champion: Bob Castrone, Part II
For the second straight year, the preseason favorite was able to win it all. However, Bob earned his title a bit differently than Matt (who basically rode the same starters to the title). At the beginning of the season, Bob had a ton of talent with Tom Brady, Andre Johnson, the Packers D, and of…
2010 Draft Rewind
ROUND ONE 1. ROBIO – Adrian Peterson (RB MIN) – Position Rank: #2 Sometimes it’s just lucky to be bad. Or rather, it’s good to be bad at the right time. Thanks to my last place finish in 2009, I was rewardd with Adrian Peterson’s first dip into free agency (after being kept by Matt…
2010’s All-Robio Teams
LEAGUE MVP: Arian Foster (Griff) Quarterbacks always score the most points, so I use different factors when deciding the league MVP. Foster dominated the rest of the running backs. In fact, only five running backs have scored more in one season in 11 years of Robioland Football. FIRST TEAM “ALL-ROBIO” QB – Aaron Rodgers (Rich C)…

For many obvious reasons, you should probably ignore everything I actually say (good example: I picked Matt to lose in the first-roundl last year), but I know you guys are pretty bored with your lives, so you’ll have nothing better to do.Last year was a nutty season. The teams…

Here are my predictions for the 2010 keepers for your team and everyone else’s. BOB CASTRONE 5th ROUND : Beanie Wells, RB (ARI) – Mr 9 wins per season has a handful of big names littered throughout category one. Johnson in 1, Rivers in 2 and Wells in 3. In reality, it has to come…
Calderon’s Streak
Rich Calderon goes 81 straight games without a weekly low score | Week Nine, 2009 2003 was an amazing time in Robioland football. Four new league members came on board (the last great expansion). Of course, one of the newbies was Richard Calderon. However, five weeks into the season, amazing was not the word anyone…

ROUND ONE 1. MATT – Frank Gore (RB SF) – Position Rank: #10 He always seems to be on the verge of greatness, but injuries and a lackluster 49ers offense always seems to knock him out of the conversation. However, every year we think he’s struggled, yet he again finished the season as a low…
2009 Champion: Neatock Again
And your 2009 Champion is Robio Murray as he defeated….oh wait, wrong league. Your 2009 Champion is Matt Neatock. Of course this comes as a shock to not a single person in this league. It became official at 10:26 tonight, as Adrian Peterson scored a one-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. For Matt, his…

2009 Mid-Season Report
Welcome to the 2009 Fantasy Football Mid-Season Predictions. I’ll be honest, last year was tough. I had no idea who the pick. This year, ah this year…this year was a lot easier on my brain. While there are a couple teams I’m unsure about (Colby, Burrier, and Bob could all surprise me), but I’m confident…
