GM's OFFICE: Brent and Ray's 2023 Opening Day diary

As per tradition (six years running now!), Brent and I resolved to get our eyes on all 30 teams for at least some segment of their first game of the season. We just kept an open chat channel where we shared our observations while we channel/window-surfed through Thursday's slate of games.

Happy Opening Day, my friend! It sounds ridiculous to say that today has "snuck up on me", given that we've been working toward this milestone for months now. Still, I do have this "can't believe it's already here" feeling. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we were drafting just 14 hours ago. (And heck, you were back in the draft room this morning, right?)

Anyway, I do enjoy this tradition of watching the Opening Day...

Almost!
