Football shaped coin (Govmint jumps the shark)

Looks like Govmint.com now has beaten the US Mint to the punch and has made "the first football shaped coin."
Now what will the mint do to promote theirs? How many renditions can the market absorb?

    surprised they did not work out something with the NFL. Then they could have made some real money!

    I thought coins jumped the shark with the guitar and motorcycle coins slabbed by ATS. Since these are legal tender, I imagine they would be slabbed by our hosts as well. Still would love to see TrueViews!

    Yeah, and the NFL could use all the help they can get this year.

    The RCM jumped the shark years ago. The US Mint is not far behind!!

    The numismatic shark has been jumped by the world's government, pseudo-, and private mints for decades now.

    The fact that Fonzie is holding a football this week is barely noticeable among all of the "coins" available in the market now.
