"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 debate great comebacks -- Red Sox or Cavaliers -- while also discussing travel preferences.

    – "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" was a guilty pleasure while she lived in London.
  • Coyotes COO Ari Segal
    – "Big Brother" is his No. 1 guilty pleasure.
  • Univ. of Delaware AD Chrissi Rawak
    – Still likes watching "The Voice" when she can.
