"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, our panelists give their takes on which cities MLB should expand to and their initial thoughts on the launch of ESPN+.
- The Ringer Editor-in-Chief & Chief Content Officer Sean Fennessey
-- His favorite TV show is "The Larry Sanders Show."
- CAA Hockey agent Rachel Feucht
-- Proudly admits to indulging in reality TV shows.
- AMB Sports & Entertainment Exec VP & COO Greg Beadles
-- Would choose "Pray As You Go" if he could only have one phone app.
- AEG Senior VP & General Counsel John Keenan
-- Longs for the days when he could skim his wife's "People" magazine and feel caught up.
