Going Off The Grid: Execs Talk Romo Extension, HBO Shows

"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 Tony Romo's CBS extension and the book they most want to read in '20. 

  • Bleacher Report Senior VP & B/R Studio GM Rachel Brill
    -- Consumes a balanced breakfast of LinkedIn, TikTok and the Washington Post.
  • Sports Innovation Lab co-Founder & President Josh Walker
    -- Dunks on his kids playing hoops in their bedroom, because he can. 
  • Pro Football Johnson Controls HOF Village VP/Football & Partnerships Michael Munoz
    -- Counts "The Shawshank Redemption" as his favorite movie of all time.

Thoughts on Tony Romo's CBS extension? Best all-time HBO show? Favorite college hoops announcer? Ever hit a home run in Little League?  Book you most want to read in '20?
Brill
A Lombardi-worthy second act
"Silicon Valley" -- Big fan of Mike Judge
Charles, Ernie, Kenny plus Greg and Wally is hard to beat
More of a worst softball player ever, type
"NFL: The Next 100" -- A book I hope someone is writing

Walker
When someone says, "I have to watch this game because Romo is on," it will make sense
"The Sopranos" -- At some point, I thought it made sense to buy a red track suit to watch in
Dickie V
Many, but I'm sure there were four base errors
I want to finish and reread "Loonshots"
Munoz
Romo is good, Peyton would have been better
"Entourage"
Dick Vitale Baby!
Yes, even though my dad told me not to use a 34'' bat
Kobe Bryant's "The Mamba Mentality"
