Thanks for dredging the Sports Illustrated football phone out of my memory caves. That was some good marketing. And it also occurs to me that the S.I. Football phone maybe was the legitimate precursor to the iPhone. Is it a football? Is it a phone? Yes.

In fairness, every phone can also be used as a football, but the opposite is not true.

It’s a good point. They may only now be realizing they can make calls with their football.
