According to Dnxpert, Mike Levy, the founder of Sportsline.com which is now CBS.Sportsline.com is preparing to announce the Open Sports Network.  Straight from the website “At OPEN Sports, we are creating the next generation social powered sports experience that combines social media and community tools with a fantasy sports gaming marketplace and traditional sports content.”

“Our goal is to create your ULTIMATE SPORTS DESTINATION… a place where you can compete against other passionate fans with next generation fantasy games, participate in a new kind of social experience around gameday, get the latest sports news and information from around the web, and become your own sports editor – organizing and seeing only the content that you care about.”

This should be real interesting to see what type of product Mike comes up with here.  He did a great job building Sportsline which was a first generation fantasy site so one can only assume the Open Sports Network will do some amazing things.

This is pure speculation here but I am thinking that much of the same team that built Sportsline is probably building Open Sports Network as we speak.  It has been a while since CBS acquired Sportsline so my guess is Mike’s non compete is about to run out.  I am sure CBS we be keeping an eye out on this one.
