Right on the heels of our two-interview punch, Derrick Eckhardt at RotoNation grabbed a quote from us regarding the Open Sports Network launch that hit the wires on Sunday. The OSN, for those of you not reading the Sports Business Clipper, is an effort that purports to break down the "walled garden" of proprietary fantasy sports technology platforms. "Walled garden" is a term usually used for the AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint stranglehold on cell-phone technologies. Is Google Android going to employ an OSN roster manager? Sounds cool to us.

Since our quote about the OSN speaks for itself, I'll let ya'll click on the above link and read it there. However, once the Open Sports Network actually releases some info about their plans, whether it be to create a Google-like effect on the fantasy sports industry or to join the MLBAM effort to own the statistical rights of the universe, we'll post some kind of love note or rant depending on which response is more appropriate.

In the meantime, we're off to beg for $500 on the corner for the right to carry Derrick's bags at the Fantasy Sports Trade Association Conference being held in our backyard in July.
