Blondes vs. Brunettes!
It’s one of my favorite times of year: the Blondes vs. Brunettes Powderpuff Football Game benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association. This year’s game will be June 5 at House Park, and the Blondes are going down again. Pictures sometimes speak better than words: Most. Epic. Game. Ever.

Badassery
