This is chintresting, so I'm going to bring a little Aberdeen knowledge to the table for ya.
It is a known fact among the parents of those my age about the Aberdeen Brueners - while they're all big, some were tuff, and some not-so-much. Mark's older brother Eric, RIP, was a contemporary of mine. Good guy, almost as big as Mark and not anywhere in the zip code of tuffness. Barely registered athletically and made no mark as a FB player. Sister Maria threw the shot put and discuss and so never mind there because NOFC, except to say, prom dates were hard to come by for her.
Dad, Fred, was big too, but by the accounts of many, very soft and whiny and entitled growing up, and as an adult was not super well liked by everybody in town. By Harb standards they had a little money and Daddy liked to play the role of Lord of the Manor. He used to MC the Ducks Unlimited annual fundraiser, and trust, you wanted to slit your wrists an hour into that thing listening to that guy.
Mark's uncle, however, was also big and was, again according the guys of that era, very really fucking Tuff and on the gridiron a flat-out meanie. Mark took after his uncle.
Now you've introduced three things that statistically tend to cut against Tuffness: (1) Mark's nice-looking wife and her entirely random ass gene pool; (2) Money; and (3) Redmond, Washington. I mean, nothing Tuff comes out of Redmond. If this kid were TUFF, he'd have "transferred" to Bothell like Colin Porter did.
I jest, but not entirely. Bruener was big and built well for TE, but he was great not because he was the most athletically gifted TE to play at Washington. I can think of three off the top of my head who were more athletically gifted (Pierce, Wroten and Stevens). He was great because, right out of the gates as an 18 year old kid on whom nobody was counting to contribute, he was fucking Fuff and mean and took shit off of nobody. You show me an 18 YO kid who went from playing at Stewart Field on "B" Street to playing in the Coliseum a few months later against SC with the best Washington team ever and pushing Willie McGinnest backward for getting in his face ... well, I'll show you a Tuff motherfucker. That he was.
Remains to be seen what junior will become. You don't know until you know. People knew Mark was scary on the field in HS. He fucking dominated probably the greatest collection of HS talent in this state's history at the East West game. Absolutely blew people up and stepped on their throats. Would've been a great Cane.

*Fuff = Tuff. I'm tired of editing, and if I do it again, my masterpiece of work here will disappear into Vanilla Skies.
Good

As a Redmond-ite, I am Exhibit A of this truth. I'm such a pussy.
Is that what inspired you to invent them?
I am a fucking millennial.
Raising kids... who are going to be fucked up.

The Boomer is a vicious animal!!!
I don't blame following generations for being jealous and blaming us for their shortcomings.
The inability to take responsibility for their own shitty decisions is one of the reasons they are deep in debt and living with their parents
I understand.

Fuck off Vanilla and your post must be approved shit!
@RaceBannon was either way too old or a bit too young for 'Nam depending on the thread.
Bit too young but closer than I liked
