"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 dish on MLB Postseason start times and head to the wrestling ring for an all-time debate: Hogan or Flair.

Holmes |
For the sake of newspaper writers on deadline, please | A homicide detective. I read lengthy crime stories almost daily | MSG several years ago. Maybe it felt sleepy because the Knicks were awful | Flair. The Nature Boy's impact beyond wrestling is unrivaled | Not 1 cent, though I hoped for $1.6B |
Aletaha |
I'm a West Coaster, so selfishly, no! | In corporate America, pining to work in sports | None so far. Fans bring the venue to life | Hogan | A whopping $5 on a scratch off |
Kelly |
*Shrug emoji* | A fan on gameday | The Roman Colosseum. They really let that place go | Flair as performed by former Colts S Sergio Brown | The Mega Millions winner in SC will be disappointed to get $10 less after I claim my winnings |
