Going Off The Grid: Execs Discuss Summer Sports TV Habits, Possible Raiders-Vegas Move

"Going Off The Grid" is a weekly survey of sports execs and personalities offering their thoughts on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, execs tell us if they would rather watch Wimbledon or the British Open and their thoughts on a Raiders-to-Vegas move.

  • Golf Channel Exec Producer Molly Solomon
    – Page Six is a must read, always keeps current with pop music. 
  • MLS Players Union Exec Dir Bob Foose
    – He might read People magazine in the grocery store checkout line.
  • MLB Senior VP/Diversity, Inclusion & Strategic Alliances Wendy Lewis
    – Her pop culture vice is marathoning "30 for 30" documentaries.
