    The one and only!

    And the real life story of Youngstown Ohio native and Ursline high school and later YSU player Ed O'Niell.

    O'Neill was born into an Irish-American Catholic family in Youngstown, Ohio.[4][5] His mother, Ruth Ann (née Quinlan), was a homemaker and social worker, and his father, Edward Phillip O'Neill, was a steel mill worker and truck driver.[6] O'Neill attended Ursuline High School before transferring to Worthington High School and winning a state championship, earning the name Ed O'Winner and winning a football scholarship to Ohio University, where he majored in history, also joining the Mu chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.[7] O'Neill left Ohio after his sophomore year; he spent more time playing sports and partying than studying[7] and also feuded with his coach.

    He transferred to Youngstown State University, where he was a defensive lineman. While an undergraduate, O'Neill pledged Delta Sigma Phi and was initiated into the Delta Sigma chapter there. Rumors abound that he was an avid partier.[6] O'Neill was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 but was cut in training camp.[5][6][8] Later, on Married... with Children, O'Neill played a former high-school football star who had failed to make it big and constantly reminisced about his "glory days" at Polk High ("I once scored four touchdowns in a single game"). As part of this theme, former Pittsburgh Steelers great and Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw also made two guest appearances on the show. O'Neill was also a substitute social studies teacher at Ursuline High School before becoming an actor.[6]

    Yes he's about 4 years older than me and 3 years older than my cousin who also attended Ursline high school in Youngstown Ohio. He was briefly at YSU when I started there in 1968.  His dad was also was a fellow steel worker like many of us in the area.  Ed also has area ties and has been close to YSU over the years.

  • I didn't see all the Sb commercials but I really liked the one that Cal already posted with the Bill Murray Groundhog day ad. It was clever, funny and appropriate with the SB falling on Groundhog day. Also made me wonder where did the time go? Has it really been that long ago  that the original Groundhog day movie came out?...yikes

  • I can’t remember the commercial, but once it was over a character from that commercial made a sort of cameo appearance in the following commercial’s ad. I thought that was interesting and not sure l’d ever seen that before.

    Overall l thought the commercials were a step up from the last year or two.
