Going Off The Grid: Panelists Ponder Weir, Lipinski Calling Other Sports

"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 discuss MLB free agency and tell us what they did for Valentine's Day.

  • Fanatics College Exec VP Derek Eiler
    -- Is interested in the continued push toward healthy eating in society.
  • NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Managing Dir Brad Moran
    -- Legally obligated to say he's interested in hockey -- because he's Canadian. 
  • MKTG Canada COO Matthew Logue
    -- Is currently bingeing NBC's "The Good Place."
