This is it: You Have Just 3 Hours Left to Sign Up for the $1,000 Fantasy Contest

money flying bills airThis is it, friends. Today’s the day of the big $1,000 fantasy football contest, and you still have a few hours to sign up. The contest will be based on Sunday’s (and Monday’s) NFL games, and it has cash prizes totaling $1,000. Plus, signing up helps support Bleacher Nation – so, I’d appreciate your participation (and you’ll appreciate it, too, because it’s fun).

The full contest details are here. The gist is this: you go to Draftstreet, you sign up, you pick a roster of players using a budget, and you watch your guys rack up points for you. The top scoring teams will win some cash (a share of $1,000), and everyone will have some fun.

It’s truly a lot of fun, it’s free, and it’s easy. Sign up now.
