Tim Russert, the longtime host of NBC's Meet the Press, has died of a heart attack.

Although those in the political arena can memorialize Russert far better than we can here, it's worth noting for our corner of the world Russert's love and affection for his native Buffalo, and especially for the Bills. Russert was well known for making it a point to be home from his Meet the Press tapings in time to watch the Bills on Sundays, and for ribbing politicians who came from states with teams the Bills beat.

Russert was 58. After the jump, watch Tom Brokaw discuss one of his favorite memories of Russert, which centered on his love of the Bills.
