I will create a league soon and send out invites.

As Smas said only sign up if you are seriously interested. It is all just about having fun but its ruins it for everyone when someone decides to be a deadbeat owner... your not much better than a deadbeat dad at that point in my eyes.

Browns Locker Room Flooded by Sewage
CLEVELAND — The Browns plan to have their locker room rebuilt and their stadium ready for Cleveland's first preseason game after a waterfall containing thousands of gallons of water and some sewage flooded the eight-year-old structure recently.
Old pipes in Cleveland's water system are largely to blame, city and stadium officials said Wednesday. Iron deposits flaked off the inside of the pipes and clogged toilet valves, causing a 160,000-gallon holding tank - necessary for when thousands of fans go to the restrooms at halftime - to overflow."Picture a waterfall," said Carl Meyer, Browns vice president of security and logistics.
That water was combined with some sewage from the plumbing system, Meyer said. The Browns have hired a lab to take air samples to make sure the areas are safe before the stadium is reopened.
The overflow left 6 inches of water in the locker rooms and lower service level of the stadium, including food service areas.
Browns spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz, speaking over the roar of an enormous machine removing humidity from the locker room area, reiterated that the stadium will be ready for the Browns' first preseason game Aug. 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Officials initially believed an 8-inch water pipe located under the team shop - the main supply of water to the 72,000-seat stadium - caused the problem.
To fix the problem, Cleveland director of utilities Julius Ciaccia said the city will flush the pipes, scrape out the iron deposits and line the inside of the pipes with cement, as has been done with other pipes in the city that date to before the 1950s. The city also will give the stadium a second connection into the water system.
Those repairs and improvements will cost the city about $120,000 and be done during a three-week span in late October when the Browns have an off week and play an away game.
"I'm real happy we don't have to tear up any internal parts of the stadium," Ciaccia said.
No dollar estimate was given on removing the standing water and replacing plumbing and interior fixtures. In the Browns' spacious locker room, the carpet, wood lockers and ceiling all had to be replaced. The only thing left in the barren room were televisions mounted on the walls.
Browns chief administrative officer Lew Merletti said it was too soon to determine how much would be covered by insurance.

wuta is the Mike Flurry guy. He may be interested, but a little disappointed that Michael's going to be demoted to #3 WR this year, so choosing him with the first pick may not be in his best interests.
Atleast its better than choosing Santonio Holmes as your first.
Man, lets go Browns....tank your season to get Darren McFadden....YEAH!!!!
I was playing NCAA 08 and can McFadden jump to the NFL next year?
Gonna move fantasy discussion over to the fantasy thread..
Digi should be our 8th. If Danzeke and others wanna come we can definitely make more room.
Whose talking?
I havnt heared anything. The Cowboys website has been saying that TO has been working hard and his legs got tired, so they gave him one practice off. I really havnt heared anything.
It's kinda of funny that people would be saying shit about him considering they can a field day with all the Vick stuff.
Really...nah, I didnt.
Vince Young has been overrated for two years now. He wasnt anything special last year and the reason he won the ROY was because people thought he won them 8 games when in fact it was his run game that majorly helped him out and a defense that played pretty well. It also helps when you have an easy schedule.
