I just returned from Marblehead on Lake Erie, which is fairly close to Ben's home area of Findlay/Fostoria, Ohio. Apparently, they love him there, and the Browns have lost a whole lot of fan base to the Steelers.
The message of the news: Ben's a bit of a daredevil; a bit overcharged with adventure and adrenaline and testosterone.
And then they said again how much they love him.

Boys will be boys. Men will be men. Ben couldn't have bought this kind of publicity. We'll soon see him selling "manly" products....not deodorant....sports cars, rafting adventures, and skydiving.
