The way the Cleveland Browns have played this season, it's understandable if Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan hasn't had much time to watch their games.
That didn't stop the Wisconsin congressman from having to put his foot in his mouth while visiting the team's practice facility earlier Wednesday. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ryan, while speaking to players, singled out who he believed to be starting quarterback Brandon Weeden and starting raving about watching him play for Oklahoma State.
The problem? Ryan was pointing and staring directly at backup Colt McCoy, who not only lost his job to the 29-year-old rookie this summer, but also starred for Texas, one of Oklahoma State's Big 12 rivals.
"You always had your helmet on," Ryan told Weeden when informed of his mistake.
Browns players had fun with the mixup, with linebacker Scott Fujita tweeting, "Today's locker room laugh from practice was hearing how Paul Ryan looked Colt McCoy dead in the eye & said "great job at Oklahoma State."
Ryan, who was joined by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, was there as a guest of new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, whose brother is the Republican governor of Tennessee.
Our TN governor, Bill Haslam owned the PILOT gas distributing company in east TN and during the campaign he wouldn't let anybody see his tax returns either.
Rich Republicans everywhere and the only goddam agenda they have is more wars and tax cuts for the wealthy.
