As far as the so called media circus and this being a distraction, eh..I don't think Shanahan cares a hill of beans about that. He's mroe concerned about the guys inside the locker room, not the ones outside the locker room.

It's a complete downer and continues to overshadow the good feeling we want to have going into the season. I wish there was a way for this saga to quickly be resolved so we can concentrate more on what's really important.
