Bob beats Griff in the closes title game in league history – Championship Game, 2005 Luckily for me, I basically blogged this game and posted it right after it was over (thankfully, the site saves every post from August, 2000) and we can relive this game over and over and over again. Here’s the set up,championship game:…
Three-Wide
With only one running back, Bob dominates the league – Week Ten, 2004 Before week ten, one thing was for certain in Robioland Fantasy football…you needed two running backs to win (in fact, you weren’t allowed to play three-wide until 2001). By week fourteen, Bob took that ‘unwritten’ rule and shoved it up all our…

2004 Draft Rewind
ROUND ONE 1. DON – Marhshall Faulk (RB STL) KEEPER – Position Rank: #27 Looks like the end of the line for Faulk. Injuries forced Don to screw around with his lineup all season long, so starting in 2005, Faulk is going to be a glorified backup, right? 2. ERIC – Rudi Johnson (RB CIN) – Position Rank: #9…

2004 Mid-Season Report
We’re halfway home folks, so it’s time for me to produce the annual mid-season report. Before we get started though, let’s look at some history. How were our former champs doing at the halfway point. 1999 – Robio Hurricanes 4-3…after an average beginning, Robio finish the season 7-0 2000 – Robio Hurricanes 6-1…greatest start in…
The Trade That Shook The Fantasy World
Colby lands Tiki Barber for the Quarter Pounders and the rest is history – Week Three, 2004 It will always been known as ‘The Trade’ and although it never directly resulted in anyone winning a title from it, we can only sit back and imagine what if. In 2004, Jeff/Colby, Matt and I all got off…
The Title
Richard Burrier scores a record 2,011 points in a title game – Championship, 2003 Rich was a bit of a disappointment entering the 2003 season. The previous year, Burrier failed to make the playoffs, simple because he lost a game in week one where he forgot to play a kicker who was on an actual NFL team. He…
The Game
Rob Masterson scores a league record 2,501 points in a single game – Quarter-Finals, 2003 Heading into the 2003 playoffs, Masterson was considered a solid team. In two regular seasons, he managed to twice go 7-7, winning a playoff game in 2002. He had recorded three career ‘weekly high’ scores to only one low score. He also manage…
The Comeback
Rich Calderon rallies from a 1-6 start to make the playoffs – Week Fourteen, 2003 Great things were expected from Rich Calderon in his expansion season of 2003. He had been waiting patiently for over a year for a spot to open up in Robioland. Who knew he would suck so bad out of the…
The Collapse
Bob starts the season 5-1 and misses the playoffs – Week Fourteen, 2003 The 2003 season was Bob’s first and he wasted little time putting up some wins. He rolled out winning three of his first four, but little was impressive about it. He only averaged 1,127ppg. However, in the next two weeks, Bob nailed down back-to-back 1,600+…
The Forgettable Three
Don has the worst three-game stretch in league history, week’s 1-3, 2003 Coming off a solid 8-6 season in 2002, Don was expected to take another step further in2003, especially with big names like McNabb, Dunn and Faulk, but it only took three weeks for all of us to realize, ’03 was going to be…
The Keeper
Richard Burrier drafts L. Tomlinson with the first pick – Draft – First Pick, 2003 In early 2003, after a few years of discussion, the league officially became a keeper league. In that year’s draft, everyone could keep any two players, plus one player they drafted after round eight. They would have to use their first,…
The Modern Era
Four new guys join the league and the lineup hasn’t changed since – Week One, 2003 In week one in 2003, nothing too amazing happened during the games. David beat me, Bob handled Matt, Griff crushed his wife, Eric beat a bad Don team, Burrier took down Calderon in the week’s highest scoring game, and Masterson beat his roommate…
The High (2003 Flashback)
Rob Masterson scores 2,501, a league record, in the 2003 Quarterfinals Heading into the 2003 playoffs, I’m not sure anyone could have predicted greatness from Masterson’s band of merry men. Forget the fact that after two seasons, he was just 15-15 (8-8 in 2002 and 7-7 after the 2003 regular season), the problem was the…

The Woman
Molly becomes the first chick to win a playoff game in Robioland – Semi-Finals, 2002 Robioland has always been about diversity and Robio loves the Jews (Jeff), the retarded (Matt) and of course the ladies. The first woman was Stephanie. She was a cutie who knew a thing or two about football, but in2000, her…
The Rally
Robio wins the title after a 2-5 start to the season, Playoffs, 2002 2002, the season that gives all bad teams hope, proving that even the worst starts can be overcome. Out of the gate, I got lucky as Burrier failed to start a kicker who actually played on a team (I won by 28 points). In…
Griff’s Six’s
Griff loses six in a row and wins six in a row (all in one season) – Quarter-Finals, 2002 A two-game losing streak, nothing. A three-game losing streak, worry, but no big deal. A four-game losing streak, you have problems, but you could survive. A five-game losing streak, trouble. A six-game losing streak, season over…or…

David Over Goliath
Robio scores 1,823 and still loses to David – Week Eight, 2000 Dave hands Robio his 1st playoff defeat – Semi-Finals, 2001 MATCH UP #1 – By week eight in 2000, I was clearly the cream of the crop. I entered the game winning 17 out of my last 18 games (20-4 overall). Dave was crawling along at 10-12 over the…

Robio becomes the first back-to-back champion – Title Game, 2000 After a stunning run the previous season, I entered the 21st Century as the early favorite, and out of the gate I looked unstoppable. After losing my first game in week two (my first defeat in 13 games), I rolled through the league. I was 6-1, first in…
The Knockout
Griff takes down the top seed, scoring champ, i.e. the clear favorite in the semis-finals (2000) Domination, that’s what the league was about in the first year of Robioland, as I swept the league in 1999 by earning the top seed, taking the scoring title and winning the championship all in one year. The following…
