In case you haven’t heard, the Buffalo area is getting a ton of snow this week. We’re talking so much snow it might make you wonder if the world is coming to an end. Like, five feet of snow.
According to Lou Michel of The Buffalo News, Bills head coach Doug Marrone made an unexpected stop on his way to work Tuesday afternoon to assist a stranded motorist.
A nurse believed to be headed to nearby Mercy Hospital found herself stuck at about 3 p.m. when Marrone stepped from his SUV, quickly attracting others willing to lend a hand in the midst of the snowstorm.
“Let a young man do this,” Marrone jokingly said to one of the older do-gooders.
Simultaneously rocking and raising the low-sitting car, the 50-year-old Marrone and company managed to shove the vehicle’s undercarriage from the hard-packed snow that had marooned it.
And what was Marrone doing in the drifts of South Buffalo?
“I’m on my way to the stadium.”
Good for you, coach. The incredible storm in Buffalo has reportedly already claimed six lives and trapped more than 100 other people. It’s a very serious situation and one where people really need to help one another. Fortunately Marrone was willing and able to do his part.
