First Round Picks. The first block of every championship team. Don’t believe me? Of the league’s 26 champions, only four teams won it all without a first-round pick in their starting lineup. Matt twice won it all without his first round pick, because he traded that player for another team’s first rounder, so we won’t…
The season is over, but there is still plenty of math to be done. First up, where did your 2024 season rank among the best? 306 seasons have been played in this league. If you cracked the top-75, you enjoyed greatness; either with a superior regular season, a title game run or a championship (although…
The 7-seed. What about it makes it such a winning seed in our playoffs. For most leagues, there is no 7-seed, as six teams only make it to the postseason, rewarding the top two seeds a quarterfinals bye-week. No such luck or love in this league. We’ve been a 8-team playoff since the beginning. Every…
#4 FOOTBALL (Jeff) vs #7 Dudelove (Michael) RECORD Jeff: 10-6 Michael: 9-7 POINTS Jeff: 1,469 Michael: 1,410 BREAKDOWN Jeff: 106-70 (11-5 vs Michael) Michael: 104-72 GAME SPREAD Michael is favorite by 163 HISTORY Jeff leads the all-time series, 5-3. He won their first meeting back in 2019, 1,268-1,078. The following season, Michael took their only…
Let’s be honest, does anyone want to read this and see that I picked them to win? I mean, I went 1-3 in the quarterfinals. If I had a dollar for every time I was wrong, I would have earned just $1 last week. #4 FOOTBALL (Jeff) vs #8 MAGIC NUMBERS (Colby) RECORD Jeff: 9-6…
The 26th addition of the Robioland Football Playoffs is upon us. We have our eight, but in reality, Calderon and myself have been dominating. We are both 1st and 2nd in the standings, going a combined 23-5. We are both first and second in breakdown and first and second in scoring, as the only two…
It’s time for our annual All-Robio list. Looking back at my preseason All-Robio award winner predictions, to say I was off would be a massive understatement. None of my first-team predictions earned an award. Only Saquon Barkley, who I predicted would win a second-team award and Lamar Jackson, who I said would produce a third-team…
The final week of the season. For some, it’s just one more week to finetune their rosters before they begin their hunt for the mug. For others, is so much more. It’s not just a regular season, it’s a playoff game, because that game…could be their last. Here is the ultimate document that documents the…
Technically the halfway point of the season is after this weekend’s games, but fuck it, let’s get started on some midseason thoughts. For example, who are the busts who are busting our chances of winning it all? Here are the All-Bust First, Second and Third Team players. QUARTERBACKS FIRST-TEAM: ANTHONY RICHARDSON (DON) After missing nearly…
While there are always plenty of storylines heading into a season, this year, the 26th of this league’s existence, one story will dominate all others. Will Colby win back-to-back-to-back championships? It’s never been done before, but none of the other back-to-back title holders had the keepers he had entering the season. With the draft done…
BOB CASTRONE Est. 2003 LAST SEASON This was simple…there is no way this was going to happen again. There isn’t a world where Bob could miss the playoffs for a second straight year, right? The season began with a win. A low scoring victory over Griff. Yet, the points never came. Bob would lose his…
ROBIO MURRAY Est. 1999 LAST SEASON Thanks to injuries, suspensions and a poor draft, for the fifth time in my career, I began the year 0-4. This included three straight games under a grand; two of which proved to be weekly low score. In week five, I finally put it together with a 1,888-point win…
RICH CALDERON Est. 2003 LAST SEASON Heading into 2023, if Calderon could reach the playoffs, while Bob failed, he could tie him as the best at reaching the playoffs. This looked great early on, as Rich won his first three contests, which included a 2,096-point weekly high score win over Colby in week three. Of…
MATT NEATOCK Est. 2003 LAST SEASON 2023 did not prove to be one of Neatock’s finest seasons, despite making a third straight trip to the playoffs. He dropped his first two games and through six weeks he was just 2-4, topping 1,400 only twice. In week seven, he came across a cold Vozzola and defeated…
COLBY HALL Est. 2004 LAST SEASON Greatest title defense ever? There’s no other way to describe Colby’s 2023 campaign. We had three previous teams win back-to-back titles. I did it in 1999-2000, with a squad that won ten games, averaged 1,423 per game, finishing second in the standings and scoring. Bob did back-to-back in 2010-2011.…
GRIFF COOMER Est. 1999 LAST SEASON Finally, after a brutal five-year stretch where Griff, Griff, voted most likely to have truck nuts on his Toyota Corolla, failed to qualify for a playoff spot, he managed to finally secure a postseason invite. Of course, things didn’t look good in week one. Not only did Griff lose,…
MICHAEL EVANGELIST Est. 2019 LAST SEASON No one comes out of the gate like Evangelist. He began his career with back-to-back 4-0 starts. In 2022, he was 5-2 through seven. In 2023, he rolled to a third 4-0 start that turned into a 5-0 beginning to the season. The question is, would he struggle down…
ROB MASTERSON Est. 2002 LAST SEASON 2023 proved to not be Rob’s season. His team struggled out of the gate, going 2-3, averaging only 1,116 per contest. A pair of wins over Bob and Griff in week six and seven, which included a 1,866-point effort, put him at 4-3 and kept his playoff hopes alive.…
JEFF GREENBLATT Est. 2003 & 2009 LAST SEASON After a tough 2022, Jeff rebounded in 2023. Working the wire unlike any time in the past, Jeff won his first two games and five of his first seven, topping 1,600 twice and never dipping below 1,400 in any of those seven games. However, between weeks 8-11,…
ERIC VOZZOLA Est. 2001 LAST SEASON After a fluky 2022 where Eric was a dominate regular season god, who produced 12 wins and averaged 1,606 per game, the second most ever scored in the regular season, Eric returned to doing what he does best, barely getting into the postseason. Stuck with an inconsistent team all…
RICHARD BURRIER Est. 2003 LAST SEASON Burrier began his 2023 campaign with a week one defeat where he scored only 657 points. It his second lowest point total in his 22-year career. He would go on to lose six of his first seven games. Over the next five weeks, he would win four contests, topping…
UNCLE DON VOZZOLA Est. 2001 LAST SEASON Started the year winning his first three games, but a week four defeat to Griff was the beginning of a brutal nine-week losing streak, that featured two weekly low scores and four total games under 1,000. He did manage to keep Bob out of the playoffs in week thirteen,…
Technically, this is the one great team each of you had that failed to win it all. RICH CALDERON – 2019 RECAP This team became just the second team in league history to win 12 out of 13 games in the regular season. Rich began the year winning his first nine games, which included scoring…
25 Years has produced 25 champions. I lead the way with five titles, with both Bob and Matt one championship behind. The only two not on this list are Masterson and Michael. Colby has obviously gone back-to-back. Yet, which one of these 25 titles is the most impressive? Let’s find out using logic and math.…

The old days, mock drafts were easy. 90% of the first round picks were running backs, but those days are gone. Last year, only six backs were kept or drafted in round one. This season, if a trio of receivers went one-two-three, no one would be that surprised. Add in the fact that some of…
In total, a tight end has been taken in the first round eight times. They are Travis Kelce, who leads the pack with four times. Gronkowski was taken in round one twice and Jimmy Graham and Mark Andrews were each selected once. Six of the eight teams that used a first round pick on a…
When the Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up their 25-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last night, the official end of a quarter century of Robioland Fantasy Football was upon us. When all was said and all was done, Colby Hall sat alone atop a mountain of success…again. Thanks to a 1,508-1,408 victory over Micheal Evangelist,…
All season long, Bukaya Saka, led by Colby Hall, has been on track to become the fourth team in this league’s history to earn back-to-back titles. The others were me in 1999-2000, Bob in 2010-2011 and Matt 2017-2018. After a sluggish 3-3 start it might have seemed like an impossible task, but then Colby’s boys…
The 25th addition of the Robioland Football Playoffs is upon us. We have our eight, but in reality, all the talk is on Colby Hall. The defending champ is looking to become the fourth person in league history to go back-to-back mugs. On top of that, he’s coming off a regular season where he won…
With the regular season done, it’s time to hand out some awards. It’s the annual All-Robio first-team, second-team and third-team awards, brought to you by Preparation H: a little relief is better than nothing. This year’s big winner in the All-Robio is Colby Hall. His squad delivered five All-Robio players, including a pair of first-team…
With my busy schedule in August, it’s impossible for me to write up long, thought out predictions prior to the season (although I’m going to have more free time next year). But, I had some rankings. Let’s see how bad I did. #1 MOLLIPOP (BOB) WHAT I SAID THEN Pollard me, while I Diggs Bob’s…
Championships aren’t won with a first-round pick, but they do matter. And in the era of the keeper, it’s no guarantee you’re walking out of the first with a stud. So, how did everyone do? Overall, the numbers coming out the first round are good. Chubb is the only first rounder to get knocked out…
Let’s have some fun with numbers today. Let’s look at who the highest point scorer is for each position (QB, RB, WR, TE) and see which active player is nearest from catching that leader and who has a realistic shot to catch the top dog. These stats do not include this season’s stats. QUARTERBACK LEADER……
Everyone has a favorite foe. Who is yours? Entire history is HERE. ROBIO’S FAVORITE FOE: Griff Coomer | 21-12 (.636) My 21 victories over the true Florida man is the most one person has over another, as our 33 career matchups also lead the pack, which makes since we’re the last two of the original…
Hope. Not just a word they cram into every Star Wars film. Hope is what fantasy seasons are built upon. The last three seasons have proven that all anyone needs is a little hope and a perfectly timed winning streak. The last three seasons we have seen three straight teams earn long awaited titles. In…
#4 BEMORTARBOARDED NEATOCK vs #7 THE GENIUS Colby enters the title game with more wins, but Neatock has more points. Colby, the 4-seed entering the playoffs has won four straight and now sits at 11-5 on the year. It’s the most wins he’s ever had in one season. Meanwhile, Matt has won three straight and…
Welcome to the annual All-Robio awards. It’s like the Golden Globes, but with less cocaine. Surprisingly, Eric does not need the league with All-Robio players. He has just two, while Bob, Matt, Michael and I each have three. However, both of his are first-team skill players. Burrier can lay claim to the same honor: only…
Last year, Eric shocked the world to become the first and only 8-seed to win a championship, proving what I always say, “just make the playoffs and win three games.” Does anyone have a miracle run in them this time around? The top headline all season has been wrapped around Bob Castrone. He began the…
