I have written before about growing up as a Chargers fan, and as such, developing a healthy dislike for the Raiders.  I have also written about how much I enjoy the AFL’s badboy, Ben Davidson.  The two might seem like mutually exclusive interests, but I would challenge anyone who has ever met Davidson (and not played against him) to say anything bad about the guy.

The video above helps to illustrate just how likeable Davidson can be.  He is a down-to-earth guy, and recognizes just how unique his life has been.  Think about it for a minute…  Davidson went from playing for the 1960s Raiders, to acting in Conan the Barbarian, Behind the Green Door, and many other films and television shows.  After that he became a member of the famed “Tastes Great-Less Filling” crew on the old Miller Lite commercials.  In his downtime, he hopped on his motorcycle and traveled throughout the U.S. and Mexico, cruising and camping along the way, meeting and enjoying folks from major cities and Mexican pueblos alike.

Take a few minutes and watch this video on the life and times of Ben Davidson.  I challenge you to watch the entire show, and not come away as even a little bit of a Raiders fan.  It got to me…
