Tim Russert Was A Grand Thespian

We were in Buffalo this weekend — on Father's Day, for cripes sake — so the death of Tim Russert was at the forefront of every conversation. So we'd like to thank Eagle In Atlanta for this promotional video Russert did with his son at Boston College two seasons ago.

Acting! What's more fun than seeing Russert saying, "it's all about the Benjamins" while doing a fist bump? If you haven't seen Luke Russert's interview this morning with "Today," we recommend doing so immediately, but only when no one's around, lest your boss make fun of you for weeping. We still think the Luke Russert tattoo story is one of our favorite father-son stories we've heard.

We still will never forgive Russert for the Red Sox Nation thing, but we still, three days later, can't believe the guy died. Back to sports now.
