That stings
In case you didn't hear, Tim Russert collapsed and died this afternoon. I'm pretty disheartened, because he was probably one of the nicest people you'd ever see on TV, and because he loved the Bills. This is the guy who'd end every Meet The Press with an exhortation for the Bills or Sabres to bring home a victory, or take time to debate with Al Gore about the legality of a certain football play. Simply put, he loved his hometown, and I think it was always a good thing for Buffalo that he was out there, being proud of it.
Of course, whenever I think of Tim Russert, I have to think of Ted's Hot Dogs. There, three years in a row, my family and I ran into him at the Ted's at Galleria Mall in Cheektowaga on the day after Thanksgiving. He'd always stop and chat, and was generally a great person. It's sad, and makes one realize to do what you can with your life. I, personally, will terribly miss this little bit of my life.
