My favorite line form JKC is about the LA Kings. The reason he thought hockey would be a big success is that he read that there were something like 300,000 Canadians living in the greater L.A area. After a couple of seasons he remarked that they must have left Canada because they hated hockey.

You can download Mr. Cooke's biography here:

Jack Kent Cooke Foundation - About Jack Kent Cooke

Oh yeah. Another interesting thing a lot of people don't know is that Cooke's son Ralph's first wife later married Pete Rozelle. When Rozelle gave Cooke the Lombardi trophy for SB 17 JKC said, "Do I get to keep this one?"

Note: That Wiki link about Carrie Rozelle seems to confuse Ralph Cooke with his father.
