Labor Day weekend in the early ‘80s I walked into a bar in Salem to have some beers see some music with some friends. Ben Davidson happened to be there as well since he was promoting Lite beer at the Oregon State fair. Being a somewhat brash 20 something I go over and introduce myself. When I shook the hand of the 6’8” former defensive lineman his palm engulfed my whole hand! So, I bs with him for a while and he bought me a couple Lite beers. Finally, I get up to leave and start walking away and Ben tells me, “Hey, remember one thing.” Awaiting words of wisdom from Ben Davidson I turned my head and hastily responded, What’s that?”. Ben Davidson replied, “Drink Lite beer from Miller!”

 

He got me hook, line and sinker. I took the full bottle of Lite beer home. The contents are long gone but I still have the bottle. RIP.

What a comedown in life!  Thank goodness for his sake, at least, that he didn't become a football expert prognosticating on the internet.  ?
