Just read a report that said Eric Tillman was sent to hospital with chest pains today. Tests have been performed that rueld out a heartattack. However, doctors have said he is not to travel to BC Place this weekend.

Link to story here

Regardless of what we may think of some of his actions/comments, you cannot argue that he isn't good for the League, and being another human being who loves the same sport I do, I wish him only the best and hope for a speedy recovery! :cr: !

Get well soon Eric!! :rockin:
Now that I don't live in Quesnel do I need to change my handle??

The thing I thought was interesting was his doctors told him to "relax" this weekend.

I'm not playing or coaching or GM'ing and I won't be able to relax this weekend....

Hope he gets well soon! How he'll be able to relax this weekend is beyond me, though.

As frustrating as he can be for opposing teams to deal with, he's a good football guy. :thup:

Yes, really. There are only a handful of people you could argue were born to do what they do in the CFL. He is certainly one of them. Best of luck to him in his recovery.

Definitely unfortunate news for anyone who's a fan of the CFL. Get well soon, Eric.

Sounds like he just had a stress/anxiety attack?

Don't forget - ET helped take the Lions from 3-15 in '92 to Grey Cup Champs in '95, right?

He did a very good job with the Lions, along with Dave Ritchie, bringing us a Grey Cup in 1994. He has my high regard for that. He is annoying as an opponent, and we have slagged him plenty here on Lionbackers. No regrets, no retractions, but we do wish him well on a speedy recovery. He is good for the league.

He has seemed rather amp'ed up this year. Don't let anyone ever say football is an easy gig, not for the players, nor the coaches, nor the administrators.

Get well soon. :thup:

hope you get better Eric and his Family.

If it was not for him Dave Richie, and the owner of the brick (Bill Comrie) to come in and save this francise in 94, there would be no bc lions today.
