Going Off The Grid: Execs Talk NHL's Push Into China, Useless Talents

"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 share their level of interest in LeBron James' "Space Jam" reboot and which athlete they would want breaking news for them on Twitter.

• Engine Shop President Chris Handy
  -- Would travel back in time to when "Fortnite" meant a tennis slam.
• ThePostGame President & CEO Eric Herd
  -- Would travel back in time if he could to Nov. 25, 1976, for the farewell concert of "The Band."
• ANC Senior VP/Sales & Venue Services Colleen Duffy-Brace
  -- Loves anything from the '80s or '90s when it comes to pop culture.
•  SMI Senior VP/Corporate Sales & Partnerships Braun Smith
  -- Would most want to meet Jeremy Grey and John Beckwith from "Wedding Crashers" in real life.
