"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, panelists opine on the CFL's decision on non-contact practices and whether Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will play the full season.
- NHL Kings Dir of Business Operations Pete Lisowski
– Just trying to keep up with pop culture.
- Hawks Senior VP, Community & Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Nzinga Shaw
– Speechless when it comes to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
- OVG Global Partnerships President Dan Griffis
– Believes if it is not remarkable, it is invisible.
- NFL Panthers Exec Dir of Stadium Operations Scott Paul
– Has never been tuned in to pop culture.
