Heading into week 12, Bob was sitting on top of the world. He was first in points and first in the standings. Yet, like a typical Hollywood celebrity, being the king in the league just wasn’t good enough. So he went off and pulled a pair of trading deadline swaps that made him appear to…
Mid-Season Report: Best Free Agent Pick Ups
Since the 2001 season, 208 players have played in a Robioland title game. 35% of those players (74 in total) were free agent pick ups. No team has ever reached that final game without at least one free agent pick up. The draft matters, but championships can be won on the wire. Here are my…
Mid-Season Report: Best Picks By Round
The draft…does it really mean much? Who knows. My name appears three times on this list, which goes to show that the draft might be overrated? Or I’m really bad at keeping my category three sleepers? I cut them early and then trade for them later…a winning strategy since never. But this isn’t about me.…
2014 Mid-Season All-Robio Awards
It’s sort of the halfway point in the season and it’s time to look back at what we’ve seen. Let’s start off with something simple, the first-half All-Robio awards. Colby has the league MVP, Calderon has the most and I’m the only one to have nothing. In fact, there has never been a season in…
Worst Starts in League History
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 winningest team in the league, my name appears often on this list, along with Eric. Griff and I have been to over half the title games, yet he and…
Best Starts in League History
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, things have not ended well for teams that start hot,…
2014 POST-DRAFT PREDICTIONS THAT COULD NEVER, EVER BE WRONG
Welcome to the 2014 preseason predictions. It’s time to checkout every team and tell you honestly how bad your squad really is. Yet, being that we are entering year sixteen of Robioland football, everyone has to be pretty damn bored of what I have to say. I fucking am. So this year, I got someone…
2014 Mock Draft | Post-Draft
I actually miss doing the mock drafts in the offseason and just prior to the draft. They’re my favorite write ups to do. However, it’s probably not a coincidence that when I stopped doing them, I started winning again every year. So like I’ve done the past couple seasons, I’m posting it as we are…
It’s Good To Be First
Last year Richard Burrier managed to win just two games all season long. That’s the bad news. However, the good news is, that means Mr. Burrier gets the first pick in the 2014 draft!!! How good of news is this? Very, because teams that have had the first pick have been solid-to-great the year they…
2014 Keepers | Robio’s Deep Thoughts
Keepers are in and it’s time for me to tell you how great you are or how stupid you are. I’ve also ranked you based on who has the best keepers. 1. MATT NEATOCK Rd 4 – Eddie Lacy, RB GB As a rookie, who didn’t play much during his first two games, Lacy managed…
Greatest Keepers Per Team
Keepers are due this Sunday. 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,…
How Bad Can You Be?
Guess what folks, Robioland football is finally old enough to drive. Yep, we’re heading into year sixteen, which means everyone has been involved in this league for over a decade. That means it’s a perfect time to show how bad everyone has been. Below is every current owners worst season ever. RANKING THE WORST OF…

The Name of the Game is Trades
Performing a trade does not guarantee a championship. In fact, only seven of the league’s 15 title holders performed a trade during that championship run. However, trades are fun. There were seven trades made in 2013. It wasn’t the most ever for a season, not even close, but it wasn’t the worst either. The usual…
Greatest Team to Never Win a Title
For years, Rich Calderon hung the “greatest team to never win a title” label proudly around his neck, but no more. Sadly, it’s time to pass the mantle. Yet, who deserves it? Let’s look at our options. We have, in no particular order, Rob Masterson, Eric Vozzola, Jeff Greenblatt, Molly Coomer and Colby Hall. THINGS…
Calderon’s Encore
It’s a tricky situation. You’ve spent more than a decade chasing a dream. You’ve watch others take home mug after championship mug and it just leaves you thirsting for more. Then it happens. You finally end the misery and win that elusive championship. The mug is yours; life is complete…but now what? That’s the question…
2014 Keeper Options
Keepers win championships. Actually, that’s not true. Just asked 2006 Griff. However, a couple good ones doesn’t hurt. Here are every team’s keeper options for the upcoming season. When you’re ready to pick your keepers, you go to your team page on CBS and select the ones you want. [table id=394 /]
2013 Draft Rewind

2014 Scoring Changes
IF YOU READ ONE THING I POST THIS YEAR…LET IT BE THIS. If you recall, I told you two seasons ago, that there will be changes made to the scoring system. Well, I’ve dug in deep, did my homework, calculated the math and I’ve come up with the new scoring system. NOTE: These changes don’t…
2013 Records: The Year of the Opponent
With the season over, it’s time to look back and see who joined the record book in 2013. Obviously, all records can be found on the RECORD BOOK page. POINTS FOR Matt Neatock scored 2,207 points in a week nine victory over Griff. That was the 7th most points ever scored in a game. Matt now…
Rich Calderon: Champion…Finally!
Of course, before we talk about the champion, we like to give one last shout out to the loser. Despite yet another title game defeat (this is Griff’s sixth in 15 years), it’s hard not to marvel at what Mr. Coomer has accomplished lately. Back in 2007-2008, he was getting fucked like a black kid…
It’s Dicks vs Assholes…the winner gets a mug.
It’s Robiobowl XV. It’s The Dick-Taters vs. Welcome 2 Fla, Assholes. I think this video sums up this contest. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get serious. Rich and Griff, these two have been pretty good in Robioland. Griff is second all-time in points per game. Rich is third in the…
2013 Draft Rewind
Round 1 1. Jeff – Charles, Jamaal RB KC | Position Rank: 1st First time since 2003 that the top picked finished first at their respective position. 2. Don – Johnson, Calvin WR DET | Position Rank: 1st First time in league history the top two picks both finished first in their position. 3. Colby…
2013 Semifinals Predictions
Okay kids, it’s prediction time. As I wrote earlier this week, I love these match ups. I love the idea of one side of the bracket featuring the two teams with the most title game appearances (Robio/Griff) going against two teams that have both struggled to turn regular season success into a mug-worthy season. Let’s…

2013 Playoffs
The 2013 playoffs are here. If you’re one of the lucky eight, then this article is for you. #1 BUTT FUMBLES, 10-3 (ROBIO) JUST THE PLAYOFF FACTS, MA’AM I’m 20-6 in the post-season. My 20 wins are a league high and my .769 winning percentage is also the league best. I’m the only person to…
2013 All-Robio Awards
Like the NFL, we award our All-Robio awards when the regular season ends. Guess what just ended? So it’s time for the 2013 All-Robio First, Second and third team awards. Below you will see me reference “All-Robio points.” What this means is, I give 3 points for a first-team award, 2 for second team and…
First Rounds Picks, Not What You Always Want It To Be
First-round picks…they don’t need to be great, but you’ll certainly feel it if they aren’t any good. We’ve all had our share of bad, season-wrecking first round picks. Here is a list of every team’s worst first-round pick. Now how did I come up with this list. Well, I ignored keepers and kept the focus…
2013 Preseason All-Robio Predictions
Note to league members, of the eight players I predicted to be first-team All-Robio in 2012, only one actually finished the season as a first-team All-Robio player. So yeah, grain of salt. Of the 24 players on the first, second and third teams, 1/3 did finish on one of those teams. That’s not bad. First-team…
2013 Preseason Rankings
NOW…it’s official. The draft, that was the appetizer. The season doesn’t really begin until I make my preseason predictions. Last season three of the four teams I said would miss the playoffs did and the one I missed (Matt) I said would finish 8th, so I was oh so close. As for the champ, I…
2013 Mock Draft
ROUND ONE 1. Jeff – Arian Foster, RB HOU It comes down to three guys, Foster, Charles or Calvin Johnson. Starting next year, thanks to the scoring changes, running backs are going to be more valuable. If I’m picking, I’m taking the guy who has been an All-Robio player three straight years as oppose to…
First-Round History
The first-round doesn’t decide a championship, but it sure will help you become on. Let’s take a look back at everyone’s first round picks and see who nailed it and who blew the pooch. Note: The asterisk means keeper. ROBIO Overall, not too bad. No major busts. Since 2001, I’ve taken or kept nine running…
2013 Keepers, Who Got It Right?
The 2013 keepers are in and what’s the point of having me in the league if I don’t sit here and judge each and every one of you. ROBIO Matt Ryan, QB ATL (Round 3) | Marshawn Lynch, RB SEA (Round 7) I had one big decision to make and that was in category two.…
2012 Keepers Redos
The 2013 keepers are due in roughly two weeks, so let’s take a moment and look back to last year’s decisions. Let’s see if you made the right ones. DON CATEGORY ONE: He kept no one, but he should have kept quarterback Matt Ryan in the fourth, who not only finished sixth among all arms, he…

2013 Robioland Football…It Begins
Fucking 15 years old. Robioland Football is still jailbait, but damn we’re getting old. Can you believe it? Fifteen years of Robioland football. It seems like just yesterday I sat in my living room with Griff and six other guys, with our shirts off, rubbing each others’ nipples…no wait, that was something else. Actually, the…
The Rally
ROB BECOMES THE FIRST PERSON IN THE 13-GAME ERA TO RALLY FROM A 1-5 START TO PRODUCE A WINNING RECORD When do you throw in the towel? It’s a question we never want to face in a fantasy football season, but we’ve all been there. For those who start the season 1-5, the answer is…

2012 Players
2012 was a year unlike any other. A rookie quarterback (RGIII) finished first among all quarterbacks, while a second rookie, running back Doug Martin delivered a first-team All-Robio performance. Some stars shined as expected (Ray Rice, Arian Foster and Calvin Johnson are just a few), while others (Maurice Jones-Drew, DeMarco Murray and Michael Vick) faltered.…
2012 Draft Rewind
ROUND ONE 1. ERIC – Ray Rice, RB-BAL | Position Rank: #4 | 2,548 points Finally, Eric gets a first-round pick right. The ghost of Chris Johnson, Brian Westbrook, Shaun Alexander, LaMont Jordan, Julius Jones and Eddie George lingered in the air draft day, but Ray Rice exercised all those demons, leading Eric to his…

Game of the Century
ROBIO OVER ERIC, 1,973 – 1,871 | CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Heading into the 2012 title game, one thing was clear…Eric (Tebow’s Before Hoes) was the favorite. The CBS Guru certainly thought Eric was the better of the two teams, making me (Romolicious) a 384-point underdog. Even I jumped on the bandwagon. In my predictions, I gave…
Ranked Seasons, 2012
Here is the updated season’s rankings…all 164 of them. I’ve tweaked the math this year (you can see how I figure all this at the very bottom of this page). I’ve also added a new feature, you can now see just your seasons (because really, do you care about anyone else?) Anyhow, the get some…
2012 TITLE GAME – THE PREDICTION
It’s cousin vs. cousin the 13th title game in Robioland history. While the top two teams (Griff and Calderon) failed to escape the first-round, this is the third time in four years that the championship game featured two high seeds (1-4). This is a bit surprising considering how many upsets we have in this league.…
2012 ALL-ROBIO TEAMS
Here are the 2012 All-Robio awards. Just like the NFL, we only count what happened in the regular season. Below you will see me reference “All-Robio points.” What I’m talking about is, on the All-Robio Players Page, I award three points for First-Team All-Robio, two for second-team and one for third-team, to see who is…
2012 Playoff – The Big Picture
It’s on. We got two Rich’s, two Rob’s (for the first time since 2006), two Coomers and a Bob. The league has two Vozzola’s, but only one made it to the playoffs. Only three teams have won titles over the last six years, but two of them (Don, Matt) are sitting outside, looking in. Speaking…
History of the Final Week Spoiler
The spoiler…the man (or woman) who goes out in the final week and takes someone else’s playoff hopes, their playoff dreams, and crushes them like like Tim Burton crushes all my favorite child movies with awful remakes. Over the 13 year history of this league, it’s happen seven times. Seven times a team had a…
2012 Mid-Season Report
Technically with a 13-game schedule, the midway point of the season is actually midway through the week six games, but since 67-percent of the league gets to play ball in the quarterfinals, I’m deciding that the halfway point is after seven weeks of football. So how’s your season going? If you’re in this league and…
