WHY ARE WE GOING BACK TO SEE TEDFORD THE ALL-KNOWING BEAR IF ALL HE EVER GIVES IS FOOPBALL-RELATED ADVICE?
BECAUSE TEDFORD KNOWS EVERYTHING AND NOT ALL OF HIS ADVICE IS FOOTBALL-RELATED. LOOK, THERE HE IS!
OH!!, MIGHTY TEDFORD, MASTER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE, WHAT KIND OF MATE SHOULD I LOOK TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH ?
FIND A GOOD TIGHT END.
THAT COULD GO EITHER WAY.

WHY ARE WE CLIMBING THIS MOUNTAIN?
TO SEE TEDFORD, THE ALL-KNOWING BEAR... HE HAS THE ANSWERS TO ALL OF LIFE'S MYSTERIES.
LOOK... THERE HE IS.
OH, MIGHTY TEDFORD, WHAT IS THE KEY TO ETERNAL HAPPINESS?
AVOID COSTLY TURNOVERS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD COME BACK AFTER FOOTBALL SEASON.

I BELIEVE YOUR SUCCESS IN LIFE IS DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF HITS YOU GET WHEN YOU "GOOGLE" YOUR OWN NAME. NOT SURPRISINGLY, A SEARCH FOR "RAT" AND "PEARLS BEFORE SWINE" PRODUCES A WHOPPING 75,000 HITS...
HAHHAHA...WHAT A FUNNY COINCIDENCE, BECAUSE JUST YESTERDAY, I THOUGHT I'D HAVE SOME FUN, SO I "GOOGLED" "PIG" AND "PEARLS BEFORE SWINE" AND IT PRODUCED -- HA HA -- 12,000 HITS!!... ISN'T THAT THE SWEETEST THING?
YOUR EGO IS OUT OF CONTROL.
