Football player's use of cell phone during game draws penalty

Another one for cell phone etiquette, don't talk on the phone when you're on national television. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Joe Horn, the New Orleans pro football receiver pulled out a cell phone and made a call -- from the end zone, on national television. He couldn't wait to call his family to talk about his touchdown.

"Horn's antics resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the ensuing kickoff of a game the Saints won 45-7."
