Here's what piqued my interest about him. In 2001 he was a columnist for TSN. In his season preview, the teams he picked to finish last in each division just happened to be the two teams that had fired him. Coincidence? Hardly. No logical person would have reached the conclusion going into that season that BC and Toronto were last place teams (though certainly no one thought they were first place teams either-and they weren't, obviously)Sir Purrcival wrote: Ya know, I used to like Eric Tillman, I thought he was a pretty stand up and smart guy, this last year however with his press antics, my opinion of him has gone way down. I still think he is a smart man, but he sure isn't as classy as I thought. I don't remember this kind of behaviour of him when he was with Ottawa or BC. Did I just miss something all those years or is this something different?
Don't get me wrong, I've always thought the guy was meant to be a CFL GM. But, yeah, the shine is wearing off a bit.
