Free Fantasy Games
The Cleat Freak

Posted Aug 13, 2004

Two college football fantasy games are introduced with free plays for annual TheInsiders.com subscribers.

Annual Total Access Pass subscribers receive free plays in two college football fantasy games being offered by TheInsiders.com in conjunction with Fantasy Sports Man, Inc. The CleatFreak Pick'em Challenge allows users to compete against other users on their favorite team site for a free annual Total Access Pass. The CleatFreak Investment Challenge is a market game in which users on TheInsiders network compete against each other for a trip to Hawaii to watch the Hula Bowl.

All registered users of TheInsiders.com get one free play in the Pick'em Challenge, but annual Total Access Pass subscribers get extra benefits - free additional plays on the Pick'em Challenge and free entry in the Investment Challenge.

All users must have free TheInsiders accounts, as well as a username on TheInsiders message boards to play the CleatFreak games.

To make play either game, please visit the following link:

TheInsiders' new feature, My HotList™, is a perfect complement to both games as it allows users to receive email alerts any time new content is posted about players they designate, or teams designated for commitment alerts.

Here are more details about the games:
