Is Art Shell Out?

NFL.com's Adam Schefter is reporting that Art Shell will be relieved as head coach of the Raiders at the end of the season. The Raiders responded by calling Schefter a big "poopy pants." Well, not really. The Raiders called Schefter a "false rumor monger."

And they didn't say that he was wrong.

Not that it is much of a breaking news story to believe that Shell will be fired, that's kind of obvious. And far be it from me to gloat about this story. This is not question of who was right (Raiders FanHouse) and who was wrong (most of you) that Shell would be an unmitigated failure. The important thing is that Shell is going to be canned.

But before you start celebrating your early Christmas present, realize that Al Davis is just going to botch the next hire, too. So there is nothing to get excited about.
