Going Off The Grid: Execs Talk NFL Replay, Annoying Songs

"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 whether the NFL should be able to review penalties and what the most annoying song of all time is.

  • MLL Chief Digital Officer Tom Johnson
    -- Enjoys Boston sports, epic movies, indie music and Larry David.
  • BodyArmor VP/Marketing Michael Fedele
    -- If he could only binge watch one show he would choose "The Office." 
  • Cutting Edge Sports Management CEO Neil Malvone
    -- Pop culture interests include superhero movies and "Harry Potter."
  • QuintEvents President of Int'l Keith Bruce
    -- Believes the biggest Oscar snub of all time was "Shawshank Redemption."
