TheAthletic Subscribers Free NFBC Contest

[joncarlos]

I signed up to theathletic as a first time subscriber about a week ago. Their draft day user guide and cheat sheets are very disappointing.

Their day-to-day articles are pretty good. So are the podcasts, though those are now free for everyone. I like looking at their rankings on the site but they haven't really made anything that it's easy to make your own draft sheet from.

How did everyone end up doing in this thing? I finished 3rd overall, which was pretty cool. Never got any prizes for it, but still happy that I did so well. Just my luck that the the best I ever did in anything was a free league

Going back and looking at my roster now is just silly. I had FTJ and Acuna and Corey Seager and Voit on offense, and Darvish and Woodruff and Marco Gonzalez and Plesac as pitchers

That's awesome dude! I thought you were supposed to get a free subscription or something for doing that well at least?

I reached out to them a couple times and never heard back. :Shrug: If it was a thousand bucks or something I'd be more concerned.
