Ohio governor temporarily renames 3 parks to honor Cincinnati Bengals

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine temporarily renamed three state parks on Monday in honor of the Super Bowl-bound Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles Sunday.

DeWine said he renamed Burr Oak State Park in southeastern Ohio "Burrow Oak State Park" in honor of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who grew up in nearby Athens.

Burrow has always expressed his pride in the state of Ohio. On Monday, he said he was proud in bringing a downtrodden Cincinnati franchise to its first Super Bowl appearance in 33 years.
