2024’s Never-too-Early Mock Draft

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…

First Round Tight Ends | A Brief History

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…

COLBY HALL | THE UNBEATABLE

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,…

2023 Championship Preview | #3 Dudelove vs #1 Bukaya Saka

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…

2023 Playoffs | Who Wants Colby?

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…

2023 All-ROBIO Awards

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…

2023 First Round Midseason Report

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…

Favorite Foes

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…

Colby “Hope” Hall…The Story of a Champion

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…

2022 All-Robio Teams

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…

2022 PLAYOFFS | IT’S ERIC AND EVERYONE ELSE

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…

THE FALL OF THE COOMER EMPIRE

History is littered with fallen Empires. The Aztez, the Egyptians, the Romans, as well as the band Journey, MTV’s television programming and Neatock’s hairline. The collapse of Griff is not equal to the collapses of any of these great dynasties. His fall from grace feels more like the fall of Jared Fogle (the Subway guy).…

THIS WAS THE YEAR | AN ERIC VOZZOLA STORY

While it’s not official yet, barring Diontae Johnson fumbling the ball 19 times tonight, Eric Vozzola will be your 2021 champion. He leads Jeff 1,800-1,226. With Johnson left to play, Eric has a shot at the all-time title game scoring record of 2,011 (held by Burrier). However, before we brag on Eric, let’s hit on…

2021 All-Robio Awards

FULL LIST HERE. FIRST-TEAM ALL-ROBIO QB – Josh Allen (Colby) – 363 PPG Colby went off-script this year, using his first two picks on a tight end and a quarterback. Both worked out well. Unfortunately, nothing else worked at all. Anyhow, with Allen, who beat out Tom Brady by 74 fantasy points, this is the…

2020 Semifinals Predictions

We couldn’t have two different beasts in our two semifinals matchups. On one side of the bracket, we have Calderon and Robio. Combined we have 42 career playoff wins, including 13 in the semifinals and seven overall titles. On the other side of the bracket, we have Jeff and Burrier, who don’t really fit into…

2020 Playoff Predictions | 8 Teams, One Champion

We began the year with a trio of unbeaten teams in Jeff, Michael and Griff. The latter faded fast and hard, joining both Masterson and Neatock as hopeless wonders without the wonder. Michael eventually lost, but stopped the bleeding rather quickly, while Jeff suddenly found winning tough to come by as we headed down the…

2020 Midseason Report

First Half Big Daddy The Dick-Taters (6-1): It’s a little scary how much Calderon has dominate the last couple of years. He’s coming off a 12-1 regular season. He’s on pace to repeat that, having won 20 of his last 22 and has appeared in the last two title games. This season, the fantasy gods…

2020 Midseason All-Pickup Team

Is it me or does it seem like there have not been any great free agent pick ups? No game-saving signees? Well, we haven’t had the season-changing free agents yet, there have been plenty of good gets. QB – Justin Herbert (Jeff)  Picked in up in week five for just $4, Herbert is chasing rookie…

2020’s Almost Mid-Season All-Robio Awards

Best Starts in League History | 2020 Edition

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…

Worst Starts in League History | 2020 Edition

We talked about the best starts in league history, so now let’s go with the league’s worst starts in league history. A total of 41 teams have began a season 0-3 or worse. The worst of the worst was me. My 2009 team was the only team to start a season with eight straight defeats.…

History of Preseason Predictions | Updated

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…

2020 Preseason Predictions | 2020 is Gonna 2020

2020, a year that will truly live in infamy. Thus, it’s only fitting that we have a title game that best represents the times were are liven’. Past preseason rankings have been hit-or-miss. Last year, I had Calderon at #1 and he did finish #1 in the regular season. So there’s that.   2020 PRESEASON…

2020 Player Salaries

The cap as always is $100. If you go over the cap during the draft, don’t sweat it. You just need to get under the cap by the first game. If you go over during the season, you’ll be given one waiver wire to get back under. Don’t forget, any first time pickup needs the…

Greatest Keeper By Team (2020 Update)

Keepers are due tomorrow night. Lots of tough decisions to be made. However, let’s take a look back at each person’s greatest keeper (in no particular order). ROBIO MURRAY MARSHAWN LYNCH, 2011-2013 Oddly, despite my success, I haven’t really produced a lot of great keepers. Maybe I’m bad at it. Maybe I draft so well,…

Your Greatest Fail

Not everyone has won a championship. But everyone has had a team that probably should have. I present to you, each person’s greatest team to NOT win a championship. And yes, I’ll rank those too. #1 Rich Calderon – 2019 Season  Based on career rankings, Rich’s 2019 is the 8th greatest season ever produced in…

2020 Schedule | Quick Peek Ahead

As always, CBS randomly selects who will play who during the upcoming season. As we all know, each team will face two foes twice, creating an unbalanced schedule. That is the life we live, because this isn’t communist Russia. So, what do we have… WEEK ONE & TWELVE ROBIO v ERIC Eric and I have…

2020’s Career Rankings

Welcome back, my fantasy football colleagues. Sadly, we decided to cancel the 2020 Robioland Fantasy Baseball season. However, as of now, there will be a 2020 NFL season, which means we will most likely be having a 2020 fantasy football season. We’ll save the draft talk for later, as I want to hold the draft as…

The Juggernaut

It’s official..without question, my 2019 is the greatest season this league has ever seen and ended in the only fitting way possible, a championship. Yet, before I heap a ton of praise upon myself, let’s recap the game and let’s not forget the final to fall. THE GAME In the end, the game wasn’t even…

2019 Championship Preview & Prediction

I began my postseason predictions with a simple question…could anyone prevent a Rich Calderon vs Robio Murray finals. That question has been answered…nope. This is a good thing, because what better way to end a season other than having the two best teams facing off for the title? Of course, we’ve had 1s vs 2s…

2019 Postseason: Robio/Rich C vs the Field

When the season began, Rich Calderon was going to be the champion. It was a forgone conclusion, thanks to a trio of great keepers and two of the top 13 picks in the draft. With a record tying 12-1 record in the regular season, he certainly had the look of a team that fulfilled his…
