the thing with tillman is that he didnt want anyones respect for leaving the NFL, he simply did it because he wanted to defned his country, and when you have the potential to be corrupted by the NFL and decide to do the honorable thing, that deserves some respect. Im noit dissing you, because i know where you are coming from, but most of the guys in the troops arent rejecting millions of dollars a year to fight in another country so i believe thats what makes tillman special. And the whole deal with TO is that its a business, TO raked in the $ and put his longjevity on the line for this team. The only reason he signed the initial contract was so he would have somewhere to play and could escape SF, and now that he has put it on the line (and in my mind made philly a SB calibur team) he deserves more $. The whole feeeding his family this is simply pompus, but like any other job, id say TO put in a lot of ovetime and deserves the benefits.
