I saw that on sportsline.com this morning... very sad... Tillman's definitely a hero in my eyes... giving up a million dollar contract in the most popular sport in America (or at least up there w/ baseball) to serve our country for less than $20,000 a year, a very selfless act... very sad news, indeed.....
the one thing i didn't like about the headline i saw (again, on sportsline.com): it was listed as breaking news, highlighted and everything... below it, a headline about the NBA playoffs was "Hostile Takeover"... i dunno, maybe i'm just overreacting, but that seemed a bit inappropriate, a la using war terminolgy in sports ("deep bomb", "murdered them", etc... and Kellen Winslow, Jr. comparing himself to a soldier)
