"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. With the NFL season kicking off today, THE DAILY polled three experts on the best gameday environment and their Super Bowl picks.
- ESPN's Matt Hasselbeck
– Gave up caring about pop culture years ago and life has been so much better ever since.
- CBS' Jay Feely
– Has never been able to tailgate due to either playing or announcing.
- NBC's Michele Tafoya
– Is interested in politics, music, golf and her kids' interests -- which change daily.

| Super Bowl matchup | Describe Roger Goodell in three words | Best gameday environment | Which NFL rule would you change? | Better 1st year: McCaffrey or Fournette | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Hasselbeck |
Seahawks vs Patriots | Queen of England | Seattle, Green Bay, New England | 45-man gameday rosters | McCaffrey -- Better first year and every year |
 Feely |
Seahawks vs Patriots | He is King | I'm partial to the old school feel of Green Bay | Ability to challenge any play | McCaffrey -- He has a better QB |
 Tafoya |
Cowboys vs Raiders -- Cowboys win | Always Under Scrutiny | Lambeau Field | Many. The rule book is like the tax code | McCaffrey -- Panthers have the weapons |
