April 24, 2007: Three Years Later, He's Still Dead

From The Diesel:
Tillman's mom and brother testified before the House today. They said they want to know what happened. They say that they are concerned that the public was duped into thinking Tillman died heroically instead of by friendly fire. They want those who ran the "cover up" to be identified.

Let it Go!!! Even if they had told everyone everything from the start, today would still be sunny, the Red Sox would still be in first place, Parcells will still be considered a failure in Dallas, and the Tillman will still be dead.

From White Russian:
I would like to know how many friendly fire deaths get investigated this rigorously. My guess would be zero.

In the three years since Tillman's death the following has happened (feel free to add to this list):

• The Red Sox won the World Series for the first time since 1918. The White Sox won the following year for their first title since 1917.
• Emma Tillman, the world's oldest person at 114, died in January 2007 (no known relation to friendly fire Tillman)

The Diesel:
Another must read article. If you don't have the time let me sum it up for you - "Tillman is still dead and not the father of Anna Nicole-Smith's baby."

This just in......Tillman...........D....E.....A....D......

White Russian:
This story will just not go away. Tillman is like the Magic Johnson of dead people.

The Diesel:
I've had 11 pets die since Tillman died. I've accepted each death without complaint.
