Great player, great career. Probably not a HOF, but still really good nonetheless. Went thru a lot in his life too. All the best to him.

GO BEARS!!!

greatest peanut tillman moment ever = near the end of his rookie season (IIRC) the bears were playing the vikings and the game was 13-10 bears in the waning minutes of the 4th quarter. the culpepper-led vikings were marching downfield all the way to the redzone when moss got his (desired?) 1 on 1 coverage from peanut and a veritable jump-ball in the endzone between peanut and randy moss ensues. tillman ripped it out of randy moss' hands like he just simply wanted it more and i was like "man i like this guy.... pity he's only an ~83 speed on madden"

his body failed him in the end and thus it'll be easy to forget about his little moonlighting with the panthers, but hey in the end so long and thanks for all of the balls-jokes!

Seems like a good guy. Humors Sir's completely Platonic love for him

Bet there's a hosting gig here with his name on it if he wants it. Hell, Urlacher went national and all he can do is grunt.

One of my favorite Bears too, and it is nice to have a good to great player who isn't a jerk. The only other one is probably Forte in recent times.

The thing with him is that he readily admits that he doesn't like watching football, he only likes playing it. So I'm not sure he's going to want to have to fly to Los Angeles or Bristol to talk about it on a national platform. It's a shame, because he'd immediately be the best ex-player on any national Sunday studio show.

The McCaskeys should make Tillman the EVP in charge of their charitable arm of the organization.

Does he still have a home here or intend to put down roots here? The Score would throw him a pre/post gig faster than you can say "veary, veary proud."

He has been incredibly boring every time I have heard him in long form sitting in with Sir.

Yes, great guy, one of my all time favorites and should find a career outside of tv/radio.

If I had to list my all-time favorite Bears,he would be in the top 7 or 8. Loved watching him play AND his interviews. Bright guy who could be funny,too.

I don't know what his plans are but hope to see him either coaching or as a TV analyst somewhere.

Tillman heading to Fox NFL Kickoff Show...

From windycitygridiron.com...

http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2016/7 ... fl-kickoff

"Yesterday on WSCR 670 The Score in Chicago, the recently retired, former Chicago Bears Pro Bowler Charles Tillman, told Laurence Holmes that he plans to retire as a member of the Bears.

The franchise that Tillman called home for 12 of his 13 seasons, will sign him to a ceremonial 1 day contract later today so that he can officially retire from the NFL as a Chicago Bear.

While talking to Holmes, Tillman also teased that he may pull a Brett Favre and come out of retirement, but that seems to be not possible now that he has found another job. FOX Sports has announced that Tillman will join the pregame show, “Fox NFL Kickoff,” which airs Sunday mornings during the NFL season at 10 a.m. Chicago time. Tillman will join another former Bear, Dave Wannstedt, who coached the Bears from 1993-98, host Clarissa Thompson and Colin Cowherd."

That's great news though I was hoping he would join the big Sunday FOX show and replace one of those guys.
