Saskatchewan Roughrider G.M. Eric Tillman is in a bit of hot water with the CFL, over public comments he made following Saturday night's game against the B.C. Lions. ET was critical of the Lions, including Head Coach Wally Buono, for the 2nd quarter goon/gong show that resulted in two B.C. players being fined, and another one suspended, by the CFL. Here's the brief statement from the league re: Tillman.
Media Statement – Saskatchewan Roughriders GM Eric Tillman Fined
Toronto, ON - (September 26, 2007) - The Commissioner’s Office announced today that it has fined Saskatchewan Roughriders General Manager and VP of Football Operations Eric Tillman $1,000 for publicly making comments disparaging to the B.C. Lions Football Club.
No further comments will be made by the Canadian Football League on this matter.
Whattya say? Should we take up a collection to cover the cost of the fine? Maybe one of the local radio stations will get the ball rolling on that.

What a bloody joke! They didn't get it on Saturday and they still don't want to get it right. Oh well that the CFL at its shinning best.
The defending memorial cup champs after 2-0 after the weekend and don't make the top 10 rankings??
The Pats have a case too, I guess its more impressive scoring 11 goals against Saskatoon than 9 against PA. OR maybe they do it by the first letter of the city??
Love those rankings! The London Knights lose one game and go from first overall to out of the top ten? And Vancouver not even on the list either - go figure.
Apparently CFL officials are ranking CHL teams now!
Didn't see the game but I guess when anyone sees their 3rd string quarterback in a problem situation somebody is going to react.
