Hell of a GM and likeable guy. Judgment on the latter now reserved until the case is closed. Saskatchewan sports fans presumably devastated.

 

[Elliotte Friedman]

I dropped my laptop in shock when I saw this.

I've covered him and I've worked with him, as he joined our CFL on CBC panel during a period of executive unemployment.

Really hope it isn't true.

 

[JR]

CFL fans across the country just had a WTF moment.

The guy comes across as Mr. Straight and Narrow and you'd think he was a Canadian except for that slight Southern US accent

This is shocking. and like EF, hope it isn't true.

 

[thesnowman]

I'll buy you a new laptop, Elliotte.

I share your disbelief as I too have covered him in the past.

ADD: Not to say those who haven't covered him can't be shocked*

 

[Gomer]

With some notable exceptions, it's usually the ones you least suspect.

If he's guilty, he should never be allowed to work in the CFL again.

Snowman, I made the same joke... and it's a bad one.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True underage love in all thy CFL command.
With glowing pricks we see thee teen,
A 16-year-old, pure and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We'll stooup the hell out of thee.

God keep our teens, pure and bouncy!
O Canada, for teen ass we'll do 1-to-3!
O Canada, for teen ass we'll do 1-to-3!

Who let the amoeba out of the bell jar?

BD as we live and breath. What a sight for sore eyes and perhaps the best first post return ever.

Welcome back big man !

Canadian Press reports the assault took place in Vagi ... er, Regina.

 

[Beef03]

wow. about the second least likely guy in the CFL, only Higgins being charged with anything like this would surprise me more.

or Wally Buono, now Maccocia is another story

Snowman, I made the same joke... and it's a bad one.

I didn't think I'd made a joke. Did I word something poorly?

 

[Gomer]

The original headline (since changed) had the word shocker in it.

 

[thesnowman]

Gotcha. Completely unintentional. And yes, Gomer, it was a bad joke

 

[Blitz]

Eric and his family are longtime friends of my mom and dad, and our extended family.
As director of the Senior Bowl, Eric offered me guidance and job leads when I was trying to break into media work.
His accomplishments in and committment to the CFL are many.
I hope this isn't true and I wish the best for my friend.

 

[Iron_chet]

The story I have heard is that the girl in question is his baby sitter.

 

[HejiraHenry]

Makes a slight ripple in the water back in Mississippi, as there are folks in Oxford – or so I've heard – who were interested in him as the next Ole Miss A.D.

Honestly, I don't find this funny. The charges are serious and can ruin a person's life, even if acquitted. I like Tillman and hope and pray there is nothing to these allegations.

You know what else isn't funny? Miscegenation.

Right, Mark?

Obviously, I hope the truth comes out here. Yikes.

The Sask RoughRiders have been a major help to me in some previous research.
