Tomorrow's gonna be a blast so stay tuned and have your Sneak Peek Demos ready! Insert more mysterious secretive language... You get it. Mwahahaha!
The entire MFL team also wants to thank some of our community members who continue to go above and beyond to promote our game, campaign, and embody the brutal sarcastic spirit of all us:

NAME THE A TEAM CONTEST
Asif Khan purchased a team and he would like the MFL Community to help name it. As a fan of the Cleveland Browns, he would like to create a Cleveland parody team. Now before everyone starts yelling and throwing tomatoes at us, I would just like to remind everyone of a few factoids about the majestic Cleveland Browns who are embedded in Football greatness.
Cleveland Browns Factoids:
The Browns aren't an original NFL team, but started as a member of the AAFC, the All-American Football Conference. They dominated the AAFC for the four years of it's existence, winning the championship every year and finishing with a record of 47-4-3. They were only one of three teams merged into the NFL when the AAFC dissolved, joining the Baltimore Colts and San Francisco 49ers.
Paul Brown, who coach Bill Walsh once called the "father of modern football",was the team's namesake and first coach.
From the beginning of play in 1946 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, the Browns were a great success. Cleveland won each of the AAFC's four championship games before the league dissolved in 1949. The team then moved to the more established National Football League (NFL), where it continued to dominate. Between 1950 and 1955, Cleveland reached the NFL championship game every year, winning three times.
The NFL didn't actually adopt the two point conversion until 1994, and early during that season, the Cleveland Browns had the honor of scoring the first ever one in NFL history. They converted it when punter Tom Tupa ran in a fake extra point against the Cincinnati Bengals in week one of the season. Tupa would go on to score three during the season and earn the nickname "two-point Tupa."
This may be hard to believe, but the Browns actually have more championships than every other Cleveland team combined. Back in the 1950s, the Browns were the class of the NFL, winning four NFL titles. They even won one in 1950, their first ever year in the NFL. If you add in the four AAFC titles, they have 8 championships to their names, 6 more than the Indians and Cavs put together.
The Cleveland Browns Ring of Honor includes Jim Brown, Paul Brown, Joe DeLamielleure, Len Ford, Frank Gatski, Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Gene Hickerson, Leroy Kelly, Dante Lavelli, Mike McCormack, Bobby Mitchell, Marion Motley, Ozzie Newsome, Paul Warfield, and Bill Willis.
That should cement the all-time legacy of the Browns and maybe even feed those fiendish Mutant Football League minds of yours as you try and suggest a contorted, gene-spliced parody name for Asif's team.
