Mental Border Battle
Sometimes being a football fan is really hard. You want to support your team 100%, no matter what is going on, but it’s not always easy. Especially when you are from one state but live and work in another. I was born and raised in Minnesota and will always be a lifelong Vikings fan, but […]
