The 100thNFL season is over for many. In Ohio, it’s been a rough go for its two teams—the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns. The former has the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, finishing 2-14. The Browns finished 6-10. The Browns were a team that was supposed to make it to the playoffs. On paper, they had quarterback Baker Mayfield, wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and tight end David Njoku. This team has talent and weapons. But rookie head coach Freddie Kitchens appears that he couldn’t handle the job. That’s also a lot of personalities in that locker room. In the end, it blew up. Kitchens was fired as was general manager John Dorsey. The Browns are cleaning house. With the Bengals, well, they need a quarterback. Andy Dalton isn’t the answer and they’re primed to take LSU stud Joe Burrow in the first round. Regardless, the teams are suffering, and their fan bases are equally suffering. That’s why Ohio’s medical board is actually considering allowing these fan bases to be prescribed medical marijuana. It’s been petition and the board is set to review it. A final decision will be handed down in February. (via Fox 19):

A committee meeting is scheduled for Feb. 12.
