Redbeard, as the name would suggest, has always been proud of the massive beard that hangs down near his sternum now. Redbeard, sometime in college, realized that he had an important decision to make. He was obviously playing college ball, but on the side he was competing in, and winning, beard styling contests. On bad days at practice, he sometimes wonders what life would look like if he’d gone with beard styling instead of football. Obviously he wouldn’t be as athletic if he’d dropped out of football, but the beard would probably be better looking. He’d spend his time traveling around the country and the world still, but it would be with a bag full of hair gel instead of football pads and gloves. The contests would be artistic instead of athletic. Redbeard likes to imagine the crazy things he could do with his beard had he gone that route. Perhaps he could style it into a tree. Or maybe a majestic creature like a bear. Or a pirate ship to really live up to the name. He would probably spend time between contests sipping whiskey with the other contestants and exchanging travel nightmare stories, like that one time Redbeard somehow ended up on the wrong plane and got stranded in Juneau for a week. That was a good time.
