"We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl," said the president.  "We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times."  The president's plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers.  "The Detroit Lions are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well."  The president explains in his plan that he has imposed on Goodell and the NFL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers - by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches, excellent community service, and commitment to their fans - have prospered greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies.  But the president's plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL's less successful teams.  The president went on to further proclaim, "In these difficult times we are all in this to work together.  We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city and for every fan."

"My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league," the president assures.  That's over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about losing any Super Bowl Trophies.  "The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can't seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title." he promises.  "We are a country and league of hope.  We all need to make a change.  It does not matter the color of the teams' uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make, or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league."

The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions.  Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again.  The redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler's division rival the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Bengals, who also have fallen on hard times, have never won a Super Bowl.  This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate.  Finally, one of the Steelers' two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and uncertainty.  This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper.

All hope is not lost for Pittsburgh fans; the president has another plan in place.  He has met with MLB and Commissioner Bud Selig on a similar plan.  The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their World Series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their 16 straight losing seasons and counting.  This plan will help stimulate the Pirates and enable them to regain the American Dream.  The president will be meeting with the NHL and Michael Phelps in the upcoming weeks as this issue is high on his agenda for "Hope and Change."
