When I took over the reigns of Daily Thunder in the summer of 2017, I admittedly failed to grasp the scope of my new responsibilities. I’d been spewing Thunder opinions into the universe for the better part of six years at the time (mostly on Twitter), so being publicly torn apart for my thoughts was familiar territory. But as I scoured the streets near Chesapeake Energy Arena looking for a parking spot prior to last season’s Media Day, the entire thing felt alarmingly…real.
I mumbled “What am I even doing here?” while walking around the building for the second time, unable to determine which entrance was mine.
