Yes, I can't stand Tillman but it's not right to pillory him without letting him have his day in court. It's too easy to assume someone is guilty just because you don't like them.

As far as the cap situation goes, what really annoys most people is that Saskatchewan kept crying poor all those years and yet now they seem to be ok with outspending everyone else. Whether or not the overspending is caused by injuries, that comes across as inexcusably hypocritical. The other 3 Western teams could outspend the Riders if they wanted to, but seem to take the cap seriously and ensure they leave room for injuries, whereas Tillman and the boys seem to use it as a starting point for what they spend, and not an endpoint.
