"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 panel dives into Dez Bryant's future and debates the age-old question: "Godfather" Part I or II?

• Thunder Dir of Interactive Media & Publications Ron Matthews
  -- Gets pop culture updates from his gym friends -- they're much younger and more hip.

  -- Living in Nashville, she's big on country music and the Predators.
