OAKLAND -- So, was there any specific reason why Hue Jackson did not take part in the customary postgame handshake with San Diego coach Norv Turner following the Raiders' latest defensive meltdown, a 38-26 playoff-extinguishing loss to the Chargers?
"No, we talked earlier," Jackson said. "Me and Norv have a good relationship. I was just pissed. I needed to get inside. I didn't want to be harassed by people."I have the utmost respect for Norv and Norv knows that. We talked before the game at length. There's no issue between me and Norv or anything like that. I wish Norv well. Norv has a good football team. I kept telling people he's one of the better coaches in this league and he proved it today. He came in here and kicked our tails."And left without a congratulatory handshake.
