Terry Tate, The Pain Train-Whoot Whoot!

Terry Tate office linebacker is plain awesome! Lester Speight, a linebacker out of Morgan state never actually played pro football-who would’a thunk it. In 1985 he signed with the Baltimore Stars of the USFL, but the league went defunct before he had a chance to pad up and play his first game. NFL teams passed on Speight, and he did a stint in pro wrestling before perusing an acting career. These commercial types are supremely effective in resonating the name of a product manufacturer and or company in the consumers mind.  That being said, only a mindless drone is going to start buying Reebok shoes just because they make awesome commercials!  Everyone knows Reebok is a poor man’s Nike!  Thank’s Reebok, but I’ll pass.

Shoe & beer companies seem to really have the marketing budgets to consistently do a series of video commercials like Terry Tate, the office line backer who dishes out a ride on the pain train to employees who slack from proper office procedure & policy! I can tell you this, no one would step out of line, fall asleep, waste company resources, trash the restroom (You know who you are-I’m talking about guy who pisses on the only toilet paper role!), take the last cup of coffee and leave an empty pot, or mac on someone’s food in the fridge if office linebacker’s were a reality. Office linebackers, yeah right-can you say lawsuit!

Would you sign a release and work in this environment for, let’s say, double pay?

In any event, this video depicts event that are all too common in the office work place.  If you haven’t seen Terry Tate terrorize these office schlep’s before, enjoy!
