Grant Paulsen: "Did you consider quitting at the end of last year?"
Mike Shanahan: "I'm not going to speculate on..."
It's not speculation, you red-faced freaker. Just be freaking honest, you're rich as freak, just say you want out and go coach someone else.
Not that I absolve Dan or anyone else, they deserve it, but I just hate that bullcrap.
