Game-Changer: Sharper Image’s New Device Translates Women’s Issues into Sports Analogy

In a groundbreaking move, the Sharper Image has launched the ConnectCoach Navigator — a revolutionary device aimed at bridging the communication gap between couples. The innovative gadget translates complex issues surrounding the couple’s relationship into relatable sports analogies, allowing men to better understand and empathize. 

The ConnectCoach Navigator is a metal apparatus that straps onto the male head and locks with a chinstrap. Equipped with racing-horse-style blinders to keep the male attention from wandering while in conversation, the patented artificial intelligence technology translates the issue into the appropriate sports analogy in the voice of a sportscaster that is familiar and soothing to them. Translator settings currently include John Madden, Dick Vitale, Stephen A. Smith, Bob Costas, and Harry Caray, with many more, including Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, and Jim Nantz in the works. 

“Dealing with changes in our family dynamic was challenging. I struggled to comprehend my wife's perspective, leading to tension and misunderstandings,” said David Miller, 37, “but when the voice of John Madden explained to me that my mother voicing her opinion in our family decisions was like a hall of fame coach who retires but still shouts play calls from the bleachers, not allowing the younger, prettier, new coach a chance. It was like a lightbulb went off, you know. Thanks, ConnectCoach Navigator!” 

With over half a million units sold in the first six months of launch, the ConnectCoach Navigator is scripting the relationship playbook for the future. Up next, the makers of the ConnectCoach will take on their biggest challenge yet in creating a device that translates male grunts into reality show scenarios.
