Update: All you can ask for a man is to grow, to learn from past mistakes, and to constantly work toward being a better person. No matter how small the progress, it’s worth noting, which is why we’d like to point out that while Ohio Governor John Kasich stuffed a Terrible Towel in his mouth back in April when he taunted Browns fans while in Northeast Ohio, he seems to have learned not to do that again.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the gov thought better than to dabble in baiting the two NFL teams that reside in Buckeye Country in an interview with C-SPAN that will air Sunday. When asked who he’d be rooting for when the Browns and Bengals square off in week one, he walked the non-offensive middle line.
“Let me avoid that: I’m an Indians fan. I like the Reds,” Kasich said during the interview, which was conducted in part by Dispatch Washington bureau chief Jack Torry. “I have to tell you, I’ve been disappointed with some of the things that the Steelers did last year. I don’t want to get into this exactly what causes my disappointment. But I’ve kind of lost interest.
“I want Ohio to rise. That’s important to us. What would be better than to have the Browns and the Bengals have tremendous seasons and get them both in the playoffs? . . . I’d love to have the Indians knock off Detroit.”
See, Ohio, there’s hope yet.

Darn him for being honest, he should say what the people want to hear.
If you are such a Steelers fan, please, go to Pittsburgh. You have already caused enough trouble in Ohio!

Kasich is a DOUCHEBAG !!! Unfortunately I voted for him and now I’m stuck with his stupid decisions, I have NO problem who you cheer or ar loyal to, but don’t force it upon us, when you’re the Governor of Ohio. Be respectful …. This state has had some terrible luck in sports ….. and now governor. Please wake us up and get us out of this black worm hole !!!
Whatadouche.
d-bag in need of a t-bag
Tell Kasich the Browns have won eight Championships.
At least he learned from his little idiot moment there. Ohio does not take kindly to people that do not support our sports teams.
At least he is honest. I was already voting for him for president, now i can do it with pride when he becomes our next president
