Hmm, forewarning to anybody here. I cannot verify that this is the Brokaw's piece but there is a youtube link in the link I paste below that might be the piece on NBC:

Saw the Brokaw piece. Moved to tears at times, it was a moving example of the greatest of human spirit at a time of tragedy. The very best of humanity - A town of 10,000, carved out of the cold by the hardiest of people - opens their hearts and homes to 7000 weary travelers stranded by vicious acts pepetuated by the very worst of humanity. Nothing could display better the contrast of emotions I felt during those dark, yet spiritually enlightening days. As much as I kid hockey fans from Montreal, Canadians are the best people in the world. Generous, kind, with a humility and outlook on life that many of us to the south could learn from. Beautiful country, made that much more beautiful by the people who inhabit it.

That said, tonight I'm attending a Boston/Montreal game that will have an invasion of drunken Bleu, Blanc et Rouge clad idiots from the north, wearing their toilet seat [url=

That's one beautiful logo you posted there, Jeff. Thanks.

Seriously, I'll echo Jeff's comments on Canadians. I've lived near the border my entire life, and always am treated warmly whenever going to Canada. We are very lucky to have such fine neighbors.

They weren't great, but I didn't think they were that bad. I laughed out loud with O'Hara was "swept" into position.

No, they were that bad. You were hallucinating when you thought you were laughing.

Well, one of them did steal a woman's purse, and wearing that jersey can also be considered a crime.

Unfortunately, it is not the Brokaw piece.

Conceivably, maybe follow that thread or register and see if one can get a hold of it directly..
