It already seems almost a foregone conclusion that Eric Tillman will be heading to Regina to replace Roy Shivers (and based on his weird love affair with Kent Austin, we strongly suspect that the Argos' former O.C. will soon follow). But in case you're wondering why he didn't sign on as the Roughriders GM back in 1999, this story from the Regina Leader-Post would appear to have the answer: He was too busy being "a 40-year-old bachelor."

Now, we absolutely love the idea of Eric Tillman on the prowl, ideally with Brian Williams as his wing-man. ("It's 1:45 a.m. - 3:15 in Newfoundland - and E.T. is about to take it home!") But we love even more that he was convinced that Regina would cramp his style - and this from a guy who lives in Ottawa, for crying out loud.

This would explain why he wants to go to Riderville now, though. No doubt, his wife knows that anywhere else, it would only be a matter of time before the wild party that is Eric Tillman returned to his old ways.
