Celeb Jersey Cards #85 Jerry O'Connell & Ed O'Neill

This is a regular series which attempts to combine my passion for trading cards with my interest in celebrities.  On what should have been 'Bear Down Sunday #16', I am once again featuring other teams which will not be in the playoffs (continuing the "misery loves company" theme).

More was expected of the Arizona Cardinals with Kevin Kolb (not Kyle).  Instead, it was the 49'ers who rose to the top.  The Cardinals (like the Bears) can finish at .500 with a win today.
Jerry O'Connell is a winner though, having a string of hits already.  The native New Yorker joined the media as he covered Super Bowl XLIII, but he showed a bias in wearing the Cardinals jersey.  The odd thing is that this picture seems to have been tagged with "Buccaneers" on Google (although it is clearly a Cardinals jersey).  Either way, it is a Celebrity Jersey Card.

Ed O'Neill gained fame as long suffering loser Al Bundy, but O'Neill is certainly not a loser.  His close proximity to Christina Applegate immediately makes him a winner, but I digress.  O'Neill (as Bundy) did a promo for the Chiefs years ago.  Actually, Applegate also did a promo, but unfortunately was not wearing a Chiefs jersey, but I digress again.  Al Bundy proclaimed he could get in the game if the Chiefs quarterbacks were to get injured.  Still, I listed him as a running back on his card, because we all know it was his position at Polk High, where he once scored four touchdowns in one game.  Oddly, Bundy did not make any such ads for his hometown Bears (who could always use a backup quarterback, which brings us back to Bear Down Sunday #16).  If only Applegate wore the jersey for her promo...

For a time there - when Married with Children first came out, I thought Ed O'Neill was the same guy who played with the Lions in the mid 1970s
