Ben... What are you doing??

I grew up in northeastern Ohio. And, I am a Browns fan.

Ben Curtis grew up in Ostrander, Ohio playing at Mill Creek Golf Club.

Ben went to Kent State University and still resides in Kent, Ohio. Kent, as far as I know, is also located in northeastern Ohio.

Now, regardless of whether Ben is a Browns fan, what was Ben doing wearing the colors of the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday?? (see golfchannel.com article here with photo) Back when Payne Stewart was sponsored by the NFL, he always reserved the local NFL team for the final round. Ben, for some reason, decided to wear Baltimore's colors on the first round of the Booz Allen Classic at the TPC at Avenel, in Maryland. Now, I would assume the Ben is planning on wearing Redskins colors on Sunday, (CORRECTION!!! Ben is wearing Redskins' colors Today (Friday) -- Obviously, he wasn't planning on making the cut) but come on Ben don't disrespect your hometown Browns!! And, who looks good in purple anyways... Not you Ben!

Hey, douche bag -- the tournament is in MARYLAND!! Think there might be a few Ravens fans there?? Think Ben might wear the Redskins before the weekend is over??

Jason, I couldn't agree with you more. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to wear the colors of the Baltimore Ravens (much less be a fan of that lousy team).

As for the previous poster, you are a moron.

Come on, you guys are supposed to be up on golf...Ben Curtis signed an endorsement deal with the NFL where he wears shirt/hats from the local team wherever he plays.

Q. What's this Baltimore Ravens allegiance that you're sporting here?

BEN CURTIS: Yeah, the worst team in the NFL no, just kidding. I thought I would get it out of the way today with an early tee time and beat the crowd. Who would have thought that my least favorite team, that I would go onto shoot a career low? Maybe I'll have to wear it again later on this week.

Q. I assume you're being sarcastic when you say "least favorite team?"

BEN CURTIS: Oh, I'm a Browns fan.

Q. I didn't understand the Baltimore connection.

BEN CURTIS: It's an NFL deal. I got a deal with Reebok and I wear all the local teams.
