CosmicBills Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Well said, Lori, as always. RIP to a great journalist and friend to Buffalo.
Tipster19 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 ???!!! I'm truly blown away by this news. I can't recall a greater ambassador for the Buffalo community. This indeed is a black day for Buffalo and it's citizens. RIP Tim and my thoughts and prayers goes out to your family.
ChevyVanMiller Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Man, I am in shock. I spoke with Tim when I was writing my book. He had written "Russ and Me," but it hadn't come out yet. A great guy who wore his love of Buffalo on his sleeve. May the angels be your guide Tim. R.I.P
Jeff Wright's Mullet Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 There couldn't have been a bigger supporter of Buffalo and the Buffalo Bills than Tim Russert. Rest in Peace. I think we should put his name on the Wall of Fame right next to the "12th Man"
twist_to_open Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 RIP Tim......Absolutly shocking. God be with him and his family.
Corp000085 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 RIP. MSNBC just reported that Mayor Brown has ordered all flags to fly at half staff in the city.
BadDad Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 RIP Tim and go Bills!! I wish I could come up with something more profound but the shock has left me sp...........

bills44 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 This truly sucks. Russert just seemed like a genuinely good guy. As someone said earlier in this thread, he never stopped being one of us.
Just Jack Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Time for this... A Town A Team A Dream (tater, thanks - I've been looking for that online. Thanks to you too, Jack.) Thanks to both of you. I was going to post those links if someone else hadn't yet.
ndirish1978 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Russert was amazing, this is a terrible loss. He spoke at my undergrad graduation and I loved every minute of it.
Dwight Drane Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 He was sealed with The Spirit and sealed with the Spirit of Buffalo. If you need to know how to tell if a person is good, look into Russert's eyes and watch his walk. Horrible......
buckeyemike Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 One thing you guys may not know about Russert: While he was in law school here, he did some work promoting concerts. He got a guy from New Jersey to make his first Cleveland-area appearance in 1974. That artist was Bruce Springsteen. He played at John Carroll's gym.
WellDressed Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Oh man, I just caught up to it now. Brokaw said he was "a true child of buffalo....in touch with the ethos of that community"
