Re: Tell me about Jack Kent Cooke

Curmudgeon covered a lot, JKC tried to move the Tigers and St. Louis Browns (now Orioles) to Toronto.

He was kind of similar to Snyder when he went after Spurrier, in that Cooke thought our team was boring and wouldn't attract fans under Pardee's defense-first coaching style so he wanted an aerial offensive guy. Hence Gibbs.
