Keyshawn Johnson is filing a daily diary during Super Bowl week.

You can write the headline now: "Keyshawn Not Talking To the Media for the Next Three Years."

Because win or lose on Sunday, I'm playing three more years in this league. And I'm announcing it right here that I am officially through with the media. It only took a Super Bowl to make me realize that there is no way to win the battle with the media, so I'm calling it quits. I'm pulling a Sterling Sharpe, a Steve Carlton, a Duane Thomas. I'm done.

Here's why: reporters ask for us to talk. We don't ask to talk to them. But when we do talk about ourselves, they write that we're seeking attention. Hey, we didn't ask for you to come interview us. You came here, you're the ones who wanted to cover a Super Bowl. But we talk and now we're selfish and self-serving. And when we don't, then we're disgruntled. Make up your damn minds.

I'm fine with disgruntled.

So, even after the Super Bowl, no matter what the outcome, I'm walking out of the locker room just like I did after we beat the San Francisco 49ers and I'm not saying a word. Now what you gonna do? You gonna still cover me? You won't know because you can't make up your mind. Do I want you to cover me? I don't know. Make up my mind for me.

I have never sugar-coated anything I've ever said. I've spoken what I felt. I've given you stuff you don't hear from anyone else and then I'm ripped for no reason. Oh well. That's not going to be a problem now.

Maybe I'll keep being my own columnist.

And as for Shannon Sharpe, who was on the "hot seat" on ESPN and said he wanted the Raiders to win because he didn't want me to win a Super Bowl ... What is that? It's ridiculous. I don't know why he would say that, I don't even know him like that. All I can think of is that it's pure jealousy, for whatever reason. Shannon Sharpe has absolutely no reason to be jealous of me, but that's all he's showing me is that he is jealous. Maybe it's because he looks like a horse; keep my name out of your mouth, Shannon, you've got nothing to do with the Super Bowl. You won a couple with Denver and Baltimore, fine, but keep my name out of your mouth.

That's about it for ranting and raving for one day.

Anyway, practice is cool. We're having fun with it, but it's getting kind of boring. I'm going out for a little bit tonight, just to get away from the hotel and the monotony. But unlike what everybody keeps asking me, I don't have a VIP room with buckets of champagne waiting at some hot club and I aint throwing some big celebrity studded party. I heard this morning that I was having a party with Ja Rule and Magic. Now that stuff makes me laugh. And by the way, I don't have 500 hotel rooms and 500 tickets. More like 20 and 80, and trust me, I need more.

As for checking out of the league in three years, I've always said I was only playing for 10 years. I've got a lot of things I want to do with my life, a lot of business interests and that stuff is exciting to me. Besides, nobody will be coming to me asking for my time and then write that I'm a selfish businessman who doesn't give praise to my business associates.

The media. Hilarious. Well, I'm done laughing at y'all because I'm just done ... Unless they change my mind for me. We'll see.
