Things I don't understand #5...

...why Reebok abandoned such a good thing.
Most of the time, especially as we near the Super Bowl, we are confronted with various commercials and marketing attempts to both gain favor and access to our pocketbooks. Rarely, does a company come up with an idea that meets with the public's approval. Even less rare is when that same company decides to essentially drop the idea and not exploit their fortunate discovery. Sadly, though, that is the tale of Reebok and the short lived career of "Terry Tate, Office Linebacker." Terry made his debut in 2002, yet after commercials during the 2003 Super Bowl, only two other installments were produced for a total of only eight? The mix of comedy and bone-crushing hits is relentless and ultimately quite entertaining. But we needed more! Oh well, in memory of the great Terry Tate I give you all the "episodes".



God love "Terrible" Terry Tate. May he rest in peace...
