My headline…it’s sort of a loaded question. How does one define greatest? Is it purely most points wins? Or is it all All-Robio awards? We have to take into account that the league scoring system has changed, but so has the NFL. There was a time in the league when 10-12 backs would get 300…
We’ve talked about busts and we’ve hit on the All-Robio, but now it’s time to spend some time with those who left us too early. These are the stars who were meant to lead us to glory, but instead will watch us from the IR, as our teams (except Bob) crumble. This is… THE 2017…
Below are my preseason rankings. How did I do? How do you even judge? Can’t use wins and loses; those are the butterfaces of fantasy football. Bob is 6-1, but would be 3-4 with Don’s schedule. By the way, love that “butterfaces” is an actual word. Points are a good metric, but they can be…
We are nearly halfway through the 2017 season and it’s time to take a look at some of the great players, who have warmed our hearts with many fantasy points. Masterson and Bob lead the league in first teamers with two each. However, Matt has four total if you count all three All-Robio teams. Don…
Four weeks of football and we’re starting to see who the stars are and who will are the busts. Below is the list of best picks per round. I am not including keepers; only draft picks. I think what’s telling is how few sleepers we’ve been drafting. It’s hard to find any players drafted in…
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. 31 teams have started…
Technically, these aren’t predictions. A lot will happen over the next sixteen weeks, but these are how I see the teams coming out of the gate and by the way, I’m never, ever wrong. #1 OH IT’S HAPPENING SWEETHEART | MATT Yep, right out of the gate, I’m handing the top spot to Neatock. It…
For years, it seems like the NFL has tried to kill off the feature running back, much like how myself and my fellow Floridians killed off jorts in the late 80’s. Yet, both could be making a strong comeback and be relevant again, right? Think about it, when was the last time four rookie running…
The first overall pick…you have to earn it by really sucking worse than everyone else the year before. You should be embarrassed to earn it, but luckily for those that do, there is typically a big pay off. In fact, the success rate of the teams who have the first pick is one of the…

You keep ’em, I rank ’em. That’s how this works. 1. THE DICK-TATERS (RICH CALDERON) DeMarco Murray, RB | TEN – Round 3 Jordan Reed, TE | WAS – Round 9 Matt Ryan, QB | ATL – Round 11 DEEP THOUGHTS When you’re serving up keepers, you really want to nail down three legit starters…
Wins, top seeds, scoring crowns and championships…things we should all be thriving for. These are the tools we use to judge one another. That’s it. You’re a big time Hollywood director? Who gives a fuck! Average over 1,500 per game in a season and then count me as impressed. Are you married to a beautiful…
Here are your 2017 KEEPER OPTIONS. First, you’re welcome…for putting these all on one document. Just one of the many brave and wonderful things I do. Just to remind you, each team can keep three players; one player from one of the three categories. A player can be on your roster a total of three…
Before we get to those who have yet to win a championship, let’s be sure to honor those who have. That list includes… CHAMPIONS Bob Castrone – 2004, 2010, 2011, 2014 Robio Murray – 1999, 2000, 2002, 2012 Rich Calderon – 2013, 2016 Griff Coomer – 2005, 2015 Matt Neatock – 2007, 2009 Don Vozzola – 2006, 2008…
Okay kids, let’s take a look back at those stats that made their way onto the record books. We had three 2,000-point efforts in 2016. They were… Calderon beat Neatock, 2,079 – 1,474 in week four. The 2,079 were the 29th most points scored in a game. Griff scored 2,052 in a 2,052 – 1,071…
Matt Neatock, husband, friend, anti-immigrant zealot and the guy who once tried drafting the league’s #2 wide receiver in the eleventh round during the infamous Harlem draft. Of course, he’s the same Matt Neatock who has won two championships and drafted some of the best late-round picks in league history. My point…he’s a paradox, wrapped…
The 2016 season is over and it’s time to take a walk back into history and see how we all did in the draft Round 1 1 DON – Ezekiel Elliott RB DAL | Position Rank: #1 So yeah, this worked out for Don, especially when you see how bad some things went for other…
Here is the updated season’s rankings…all 212 of them. Yep, we’ve officially played 212 seasons in this league. If you finished among the top-53, congratulations, you either won a championship or delivered an elite season that failed to deliver a mug. If your season is ranked between 54-106, be proud. You made the playoffs. You are…
The Dick-Taters (Calderon) and No Respect (Jeff) were neck and neck all season long, but in the season’s final game, it wasn’t even close. THE GAME Rich Calderon won the 2016 Robioland Football Championship, easily dispatching Jeff Greenblatt, 1,849 – 1,180. While Le’Veon Bell continued to dominate like he did all season, scoring 394 points…
Let’s be honest, did you ever expect to see Jeff’s name in any kind of championship game preview in football? It’s weird, right? It has the feel of a high school team letting the kid with down syndrome score the game’s final, unchallenged, touchdown. Yet, he earned it. He earned it bigly. As did Rich…
WEEK ONE ROB M (W) ERIC (L) 1454 – 1120 MATT (L) ROBIO (W) 1413 – 1461 MOLLY (W) COLBY (L) 1687 – 1534 DON (L) BOB (W) 1352 – 1395 RICH B (L) RICH C (W) 1008 – 2030 JEFF (W) GRIFF (L) 1902 – 1253 TUESDAY THOUGHT Happy Tuesday everyone and what a…
So what, do I not get any props for being 4-0 in my quarterfinal picks? Fuck yeah, all four teams I projected to advanced, did. Now I know you’re just dying to hear what I have to say about the semifinals #1 NO RESPECT VS #6 WARE DID YOU HYDE THE SALAMI 2016 RECORD – Jeff:…
Le’Veon Bell is God’s gift to fantasy…or at least he was Bob’s gift to Calderon in 2015. So far, that present has paid off huge. Despite missing three games, the Steelers running back earned a third-team All-Robio award this year. Yet, who would have guessed that the regular season was just the warm-up act, as…
David Johnson proved to be one of the best keepers this league has seen, leading not only all running backs in points, but all players in points. [table id=560 /]
Rich Calderon dominated in points this season, only falling short of the record in the season’s final week. Meanwhile, Jeff won 11 games and came up just 0.6 points shy of averaging 1,500 points per game. Yet, would anyone really be shocked if either of these two teams lost to Eric Vozzola (v Calderon) or…
Team names…the only thing Masterson can dominate in fantasy football. Yet, do you know what the best part about it all? Bob’s dominate this league more than 50 Shades of Grey if it was directed by Tom Six, yet the bastard still gets pissed when his cleverly named teams don’t win “Best Team Name” award. I…
With the regular season over, it’s time to talk about the elites of the elite. Here are your first, second and third All-Robio teams. Jeff ends the year with the most (4), although Calderon is right behind him (3). Oddly enough, neither had a first-team player. Masterson also had four, although one was a kicker,…
At its base, of course, football is entertainment, not a search for truth. If we really cared about the best team walking away with a mug, we would just play a 16-game season, have no head-to-head and whoever had the most points…wins. Boring! Instead, we have weekly battles, we put eight teams into the playoffs…
In the grand scheme of the 2016 season, this week’s results may have no impact on the eventual results, who knows really, but what happened week nine’s Monday night is something this league has never seen before and probably won’t see again. Heading into the Bills/Seahawks game in Seattle, four teams had leads (Neatock technically…
In case you missed it, the Kansas City Chiefs place Jamaal Charles on injured reserve, as he continued to struggle to comeback from a 2015 week five ACL tear. A current owner of Spencer Ware, I couldn’t have been more happier, but even as I celebrate with a bottle of Zima and a bucket of Cheesy…
Why am I already doing a “if the playoffs started today,” post? It’s only week nine. I’m insane, right? Yes. However, even though we’ve only played eight weeks of fantasy football, I’m pretty confident one person (Jeff) has already locked up a playoff spot. While I’m not willing to do the math, for him to…
Okay, let’s take a walk back and checkout those completely wrong preseason rankings and ask the one question that matters for each team moving forward? MY PRESEASON PREDICTIONS TRUCK NUTZ (GRIFF) I thought stud All-Robio players like Newton, Peterson, Johnson and Beckham would crush all of our souls. Right now, only David Johnson is living…
No one (except 2009 Matt Neatock) wins a championship with just a draft. To take home the wire, one needs to know how to work the wire. BEST MID-SEASON CUT-BUT-ADDED PLAYERS PLAYER: Jimmy Graham CUT BY WHOM: Robio – week one PICK UP BY: Rob M – week one ($4) With Greg Olsen, I didn’t need a backup…
Injuries…they’re part of the game. At my age, I know all about them. I strained my wrist the other day after going to the bathroom. What can I say, heavy lifting. Here are the league’s biggest injuries this season and the players meant to replace them. ALL-INJURY TEAM QUARTERBACK – Russell Wilson, SEA | Rich…
Officially, we play 13 games in the regular season, so if you want to be honest, the real mid-season is around mid-afternoon on Sunday during week six. Since I can’t pump out a bunch of writings in the middle of the day, I decided that seven weeks in seems like a good time for mid-season…
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…
It’s the matchup that no one has dreamt about, because let’s face it, prior to the start of the season, if there was going to be a battle of unbeaten teams, it was going to be Griff vs Bob. Yet, here we are. It’s Rob v Rob. It’s 4-0 vs 4-0. It’s a matchup that…
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,…
Congratulations to Griff Coomer for winning the 2016 Fantasy Football Championship. It was a stunning season, as Coomer became the third person to earn back-t0-back championships, earning both the top seed and the scoring crown. Without a doubt, we’re witnessing the beginning of a dynasty and…wait…I know this was a lot of people have been…
Heading into the draft, this is where the nerves kick in. This is when you come to realize that if you fuck this up, if you fail yourself and your team by drafting a God-awful squad, you just ruined four months of your life. We’ve all been there, so let’s take a walk down tragedy…
Is there any one perfect draft spot? Maybe it’s picking first overall? I’ve pointed out in the past that it has produced great results? Yet, what about picking seventh or even last? Is there one spot in the draft everyone wished they could pick at? This post will try to answer this question and probably…

Keepers are in. The season has officially begun and it’s never too early to starting thinking about what photo you want to use on your championship mug and it’s certainly not too soon to begin panicking and questioning why you constantly put yourself through this, imagining how much better your life would be without fantasy…
In 2015, 25 total players were kept, barely over two per team. It’s the lowest amount of keepers the league has kept since 2007. Yet, we still went into panic mode, declaring all the stars were gone before the draft even begun. However, that’s why we play the game. Yes, one keeper earned first-team All-Robio,…
Here are you complete 2016 Team Rankings…all on one convenient page. You’re welcome, America. 1. BOB CASTRONE He recently just learned that you can’t get a girl pregnant through a blowjob, he believes the film Fletch is overrated and he dominates this league so thoroughly, he makes 50 Shades of Gray feel like a Disney film, he’s…
He recently just learned that you can’t get a girl pregnant through a blowjob, he believes the film Fletch is overrated and he dominates this league so thoroughly, he makes 50 Shades of Gray feel like a Disney film, he’s Bob Castrone. With the recent fall of your commissioner, Bob has become the undisputed king of Robioland. He’s…
He needs a gun to make up for his impotence, small children cower when he’s near and he’s your defending champ, so go fuck yourself…he’s Griff Coomer. Yep, he’s now #2 in the league and there is no question he belongs one spot ahead of me. Sure I got more championships and I still lead…
I’m the commissioner, I masturbate like it’s profitable and lately I’m more likely to earn a free lap dance with my boyish charm than win an actual fantasy football game…I am Robio Murray. Man, this game use to be easy. Winning seasons and playoff appearances were foregone conclusions. Scoring titles were my thing and I…
He’s tall, he’s bald and he was voted most likely to overbid on every item on The Price is Right…he’s Matt Neatock. Unable to live down an attempt to draft Torry Holt (a top-5 wide receiver at the time) in the 12th round, Matt’s reputation has suffered for years, yet this is a guy who has…
He’s a part-time vegan, sometimes nudist and most likely danced to Donna Summers during his high school prom…he’s Rich “don’t call me Burrier” Calderon. Okay, you get the “best team to never win a title” monkey off your back, so what do you do for an encore? If you’re Rich Calderon…not much. For a long…
