This week Shanahan has once again shown his displeasure for the Oakland Raiders. “I said it doesn’t dissipate at all — that’s what that means,” Shanahan said. This comment was in reference to a reporter getting clarification from Shanahan on his bitterness against Al Davis.

Well, now that the tour is finally over, Al finally has an iota of free time to relax, spend quality time with his family, and make a post to his MySpace blog. Some important points he mentions: The next tour won’t be for a while, as usual. However, it will be REALLY different than before.
