Tuns out Al really was a NFL Pro ! ... 🤣
Before he was Al Bundy on "Married with Children" and Jay Pritchett on "Modern Family", Ed O'Neill was a star college football player. So much so, he got drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969. Alas, O'Neill struggled to find his footing quite literally on the team, shifting between different positions until he was cut altogether during training camp. That's not the only career O'Neill had before acting. He also worked in a steel mill, ran a campus pub, and like many great actors before him, worked in the restaurant industry.
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

I have been watching Modern Family on Peacock and it's pretty funny. Old Ed is pretty jacked.
Phsycho Al Bundy! I always wondered if he was Ted's brother! 😲
😃😃
I remember Terry Bradshaw being interviewed once. Ed O'Neill's name was brought up. Terry said he remembered him and had hoped he made the team because he was so funny in the locker room that everyone was laughing at his jokes. I guess comedy came naturally to him. I know comedy is much better for your knees!! 😁
he one of the tv charterer's it would hard to image any one else being Al Bundy now
like Archie Bunker he is a classic
He could also kick everyones butt, cept Don, being a jujitsu expert and friend of one of the Gracie brothers
You need to add his "no ma'am" picture to your collection!
Much like All In The Family, a generation earlier, MWC used comedy to get people to address social hypocrisy by saying things that were not permitted in "polite" discussions.
It was and is considered low brow and base by the people with poles stuck up their sphincters, that still think Andy Hardy/Leave It To Beaver is/was an accurate depiction of American life.
Those two shows said what everyone was thinking, but didn't dare say out loud !
Both are still hilarious and worth finding in reruns !
the show was truly funny the writes did a great job from the old duster family car to Al escorting out Kellys boy friends into the door frame to the dollar bill with a string attached at the strip clubs so much funny stuff all the actors were good the casting directors hit spot on
