"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 Spring Training venues and debate which athletes would fare well in the presidential primaries.
- HBSE Exec VP & 76ers COO Lara Price
-- Has three rottweilers and recently adopted a 10-week old puppy.
- Golf Channel analyst Justin Leonard
-- Recently completed a 7.5-hour endurance skimo race with his son.
- Grant Thornton Head of Sponsorship Marketing Carol Tarver
-- Had a mid-career detour as an interior designer and worked on Miller Lite spaces at old Cowboys Stadium.
- Recover 180° COO George Bryson
-- Is becoming a big boxing fan after the sports drink partnered with Deontay Wilder.
