Bush Announces Protective Steelers Tariff
by Scott Ott

(2003-12-01) -- Although the Bush administration plans to drop tariffs designed to protect American steel producers, a senior administration official said the President will also announce a new measure to protect the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers.

"It will just be a short-term thing, to help them get back on their feet," said the unnamed White House official. "Basically, any team that plays the Steelers will begin the game with a 10-point deficit."

Even with the 10-point 'tariff', the official noted, many opponents will still defeat the Steelers (4-8), "but we're hoping the point spreads will be less humiliating."
