Russert

The Bills released a statement today about Buffalo native and NBC Political anaylist Tim Russert, who passed away today suddenly at the age of 58.

“The Buffalo Bills organization is devastated in hearing the news of the passing of Tim Russert,” the statement reads.  “Tim, as everyone knows, was a tremendous Bills fan.  He was always so proud to let people know just how much he loved our team and was such a great ambassador for Buffalo.  So many times he ended his ‘Meet The Press’ show with his patented ‘Go Bills!’ that it became part of our Game Day morning rituals.  He was a true friend and we will miss him immensely.  Our sincere sympathies go out to his family and our team carries a heavy heart tonight as we mourn the loss of this great man, Buffalo’s native son and a Bills fan forever.”
