I never will forget one of Jimmy's ledes: "The first funeral for Andrew Goodman was at night and it was a lot of work. To begin with they had to kill him..."
Never knew much of the man. I guess I was still just a bit young. I can tell just from this clip that I missed what a great character Jimmy Breslin was. Rest in peace Jimmy.

I agree! Thanks Don. Loved Jimmy Breslin! He was a gem!
What funny man, so honest.
Awesome is Breslin
Re: Recent Deaths, You are quick with these videos. Appreciate it, Don!
crazy thing is I Googled the first two daughters he mentioned, and they both died. I'm too depressed to check the rest.
Reminds me of Conlan of the sports philly daily news
Why was Jimmy so concerned about cat hair? I assume it had something to do with Jack Hanna.
Two-One-Two...
If he'd lived 15 more years, those numbers would have been awl over the Internet!
Both his daughters died.
Stephen Loflin troubled life , lost his wife and two daughters
He didn't want to talk.He just used that gimmick to eat up time so not to say anything pertinent to the times.
Jimmy's a poor man's Mike Royko.
steve conn Hardly. One of the two greatest journalists ever in New York. And Royko was great.
Steve Conn
Breslin wasn't a poor man's anyone. He was the best.
He was also a great friend of Mine Royko.
Enjoy Breslin's pieces. But thank you for informing me of Mike Royko. I'm going to read his collection of columns in book form. Thank you.
