I would like for every Buffalonian to take a good look at how they portray their city, either in person or in a medium (message board) like this. Tim Russert left the area to take a position to better himself professionally, just like many people on this board have. However, in a disturbing trend, many of us Buffalonians have nothing but negativity and sarcasm about the other cities that former Buffalonians live in now. Tim Russert epitomized Buffalo and never, ever spewed negativity about the cities other people live in that they love. I for one would hope that many of you who mourn his loss would look in the mirror and maybe, just maybe, think about why so many people loved him. Not only for what he accomplished, but for what he did to the morale of the people who live here. He constantly told people about what a great place Buffalo, NY is and he was damn proud of his roots. I would hope we would all do the same. You will never be forgotten Tim! Go Bills!
