Going Off The Grid: NFL Analysts On Roger Goodell, Super Bowl Predictions

"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. With the NFL season kicking off today, THE DAILY polled three experts on the best gameday environment and their Super Bowl picks.

  • ESPN's Matt Hasselbeck
    – Gave up caring about pop culture years ago and life has been so much better ever since.
  • CBS' Jay Feely
    – Has never been able to tailgate due to either playing or announcing.
  • NBC's Michele Tafoya
    – Is interested in politics, music, golf and her kids' interests -- which change daily.
