    Which is the Truth?

    From Twitter:

    ET: "We knew when we made the Ricky Ray trade it was going to be unpopular. There would be some growing pains."



    ET: "It's easy to think short-term but I have to have one eye on 2013 as well as now"


    ET: If we kept Ricky, next Nov we could have 25-30 players be free Agents. To me thats a night mare senario"

    Were we not told that the Ray trade was because we wanted to go into a different direction with our QB? That being a more mobile one, who can attack the corners?




    Which is true? How many more lies are coming ?

    If a team has about 60 players under contract and most contracts are 1+1 there are going to be 25 to 30 players becoming free agents if Ricky Ray was here or not.

      If you line up all the quotes since the begining of this administration, there is no black or white, just different shades of brown.
      When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.

          all those quotes are true.. seems to me whomever is posting these on twitter is just posting relevant sentances instead of paragraphs etc.. not sure.. but tbh, it makes no difference what ET says.. he has to be the most hated man i have evr seen in pro sports...
          especially by his own fan base..

            I'm not into twitter or the Facebook but isn't twitter all about saying one sentence at a time?

            The thing about Tillman is that his fan base and the Eskimos fan base aren't exactly the same group of people. People that are vying to be the most hated have to work at it.

              Your right about working at it, but I try not to take to much in by these twitter posts, we don't know the question asked, we don't know the context of the answer and what bit was taken

              The sun does some great podcasts, and when they interview Tillman, or players or coaches, at least you hear the whole conversation

              Not just someone with a highlighter marker

                Any GM/Coach who would stroll out his wife out to give him a "wedding kiss" at his presentation press conference will resort to absolutely anything.

                              WG was going to test the FA market, he said that to PP. Money for players was going way up and right or wrong Puck didn't want to pay. People get all over Puck for trading WG and yet they won a cup right after he was gone. If you haven't seen the ESPN 30 for 30 piece with all the major players giving their side of the story. There are agreed upon events that most people had no idea went on. I sure didn't. Bottom line is that Peter is a very disliked man.
