OPEN Sports, a new online sports destination, is introducing an all-star lineup of sports entertainment personalities and content. OPEN Sports’ new programs will give fans a regular dose of commentary, analysis, opinion, and fantasy sports insight. The show lineup will feature some of the biggest names in sports commentary including Sean Salisbury, Sid Rosenberg, Paul Charchian, Marc Lawrence, David Gonos, Rob Shaw and Amber Wilson.

OPEN Sports users will be able to access exclusive online sports content and a variety of unique features. Users will be able to compete against other passionate fans with next-generation fantasy games, keep their friends and other sports fans informed by uploading relevant videos, photos and stories, and be their own sports editor by choosing what national and local sports news they view on the site.

“We’ve brought together a dynamic group of sports personalities that will spark discussion because they are not afraid to share their opinions,” said Mike Levy, chairman and CEO, OPEN Sports. “To showcase their talent, we’ve produced a diverse lineup of programs that sports enthusiasts will want to frequently tune in for news and knowledge.”

Sean Salisbury adds, “Being a part of OPEN Sports Network has me more excited for football season than I have ever been. We as a team will make this the best and most informative and opinionated site in sports. I’m pumped to interact with fans and have them be a huge part of OPENSports.com.”
