There are a lot of Lionbackers who are not fond of Tillman but there is no disputing that he knows his football.

There are a lot of people generally who don't think that much of him personally. 3 years till he is fired. Seems to be his motis opererandi

He has his fans and supporters. I have not been one, even before the sexual assault in Regina.

Re football:

We did win a Grey Cup with him as GM here with the Lions. This was before his personality and style started to grate on me.

Re football:

Terrible, terrible trade of Ricky Ray away from the Eskimos.

Re football:

He has found a lot of football talent, but so have many GMs. Choosing the right coach seems more important, so it seems to me. He has made some wise choices there.

As a football man he seems to have nine lives.

Between Tillman and Dougie Gilmour being in the news this week, it's been a tough one for babysitters.

Except that for Gilmour the charges got thrown out due to a complete lack of evidence.

I know my football too.

It's kinda deflated and sitting in the back of a closet at home somewhere.
