In the Post Article, Cooke said he came up with a proposal for $750 million that he had been told would be enough. It wasn't, but if JKC had had some change of heart that made him want to guarantee his son got it, he could have put stipulations that any non family bidder would have to put up an additional fee to secure the Redskins tradition. Or some other type of financial mumbo jumbo that virtually assured JKC that his son would win the bidding.
He didn't, and Cooke is probably still bitter about that.
And yes DS won fair and square, and how funny it would be had John gotten it that I can imagine this same forum having articles on why we all wished DS had gotten it. The other path ALWAYS looks better.
