VATICAN CITY – The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed the woman who jumped a barricade in St. Peter’s Basilica and knocked Pope Benedict XVI to the floor at the start of midnight Mass.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the woman will be used to plug up the team’s biggest weakness, the pass defense. She will start in this week’s game against the Ravens.
“We were very, very impressed with the video we saw from Vatican City,” said Tomlin. “After Mass, I telephoned the Holy Father, who confirmed that she landed a good, solid hit. He assured me she’s the real deal, and may be our only hope of making the playoffs.”
