->'''Al:''' All right, number one - if it wasn't for beer, there would be at least three people who probably wouldn't be married - Me, Jefferson, and probably LisaMariePresley. Number two - since men buy beer, advertisers have to cater to what we want. And hold on to your corncob pipe - we like pretty women. Pretty women sell beer, ugly women sell tennis rackets. Pretty women - cars; ugly women - minivans. Pretty women make us buy beer, and ugly women make us ''drink'' beer.

Little known fact... Ed played college football (UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball) at Youngstown State and at Ohio University. He was drafted by the UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague's Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 to play defensive lineman but was cut during the training camp. This little fact was worked into the script of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', with Al reliving his glory years as a champion high school football star and even saw [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeagueQuarterbacks Terry Bradshaw]], Hall of Fame quarterback for the Steelers, making several appearances on the show. Another little-known fact: he holds a black belt in UsefulNotes/BrazilianJiuJitsu, is good friends with the Gracie family, and is highly regarded in the martial arts community.

Edward Leonard "Ed" O'Neill Jr. (born April 12, 1946 in Youngstown, Ohio) is best known as playing Al Bundy (the once-great high school quarterback now reduced to working at a women's shoe store to support his lazy, bon-bon eating wife and crude, ungrateful children) on the raunchy FOX sitcom ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', or more recently as Jay Pritchett on ABC's more family-friendly ''Series/ModernFamily''. Even though he's famously portrayed snarky patriarchs (though Jay Pritchett isn't as snarky as Al Bundy), he's had a fairly successful and varied acting career:
* Title character "Dutch Dooley" in ''Film/{{Dutch}}''
* Sports reporter "Ed" in ''Blue Chips''

* Mr. Litwack in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''
