FINAL THOUGHTS ON 2008, LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR’S DRAFT ORDER: #1 Matt Neatock Good news for Matt, there is a 90% chance I won’t be keeping Westbrook next year, which means Matt could be looking at a Peterson/Westbrook backfield. #2 Rob Masterson I’ll probably have to agree with Rob, he certainly hasn’t had any luck in Robioland. Decent keeper options and high pick should be a positive, but I feel like we’ve preached these lines before. For the record, Rob would be pissed if I didn’t mention that he won championships in his three other leagues and in baseball. Congratulations. #3 Griff Coomer Speaking of unlucky, the man’s opponents have scored the most points the past two years. #4 Richard Burrier Amazingly (due mostly to LT), Rich has had an All-Robio running back in five out of his last six seasons. Who did he have this year? I’ll be completing my All-Robio First and Second Teams tonight. #5 Eric Vozzola Eight years and ZERO playoff wins. While his Dad has started to own the league, Eric is still last in every major category. The good news is, he has made the playoffs two years running, he just needs to take the next step. #6 David Hightower A pathetic season by a once solid league member. He wil need to earn my trust to find a spot in Robioland next year. #7 Bob Castrone He’s a winner. Yeah he lost in the first round, but sometimes you’re just unlucky. I’ll never fault a guy for that. Bob’s won 8+ games for three straight years (Masterson has yet to win eight in a season). There’s little proof that the winning won’t stop, since Bob is stacked again with Chris Johnson for two more years. #8 Rich Calderon After missing the post-season two straight years, it looks like Stella has finally got his groove back. A runner-up season, followed up by his first division title. Most importantly, Calderon had his first ever ‘All-Robio’ player in Drew Brees. #9 Colby Hall All things considering; LT’s toe, busts like LT and Housh, Colby had a solid run. Let’s hope he’ll be drafting his own team again in 2009. #10 Molly Coomer I believe (and I’ll have to check) that Molly is the first person in Robioland to earn 10 wins in the regular season three times in a career. Reason #1 why she’s the winningest team in the league. #11 Robio Murray The title game defeat is starting to sink in. After Jennings did little Monday night, I can’t help but see the 1,300 points sitting on the bench. I decided to play ‘match up’ football and I failed. I had three ‘All-Robio’ players and two more second-team players. I should not have lost this game. #12 Don Vozzola He got lucky. I never want to diminish anyone’s title run – Don won it, he earned it, it’s his – but he got lucky. His 1,216 points is the lowest for a title game win – which says more about my pathetic effort though.
