Steely Dan Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Great Piece! It wasn't an act. It wasn't any sort of shtick or gimmick or even the remotest attempt to attach himself to something that would make him look, sound, or seem more genuine than the rest of those who inhabited his working world of national politics. Tim Russert truly loved the Buffalo Bills. Loved them because they were his hometown team. Loved them because they were an integral part of his earliest and fondest childhood memories. Loved them because of the bond they helped create between him and his father, the subject of his bestselling book, "Big Russ & Me: Father and Son: Lessons of Life." Loved them because of the direct and unbreakable link between his heart and their fortunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
