If only there was the 24/7 news coverage and social media back then that there is today. We might think a little differently of JKC.

Re: Dancing With The Devil: The True Story of Working for Jack Kent Cooke
Haven't read the link yet, but from previous reports of Cooke & even from what Joe Gibbs has jokingly said about him, he sounded tough & prone to knee-jerk reactions & small tantrums.
Everybody knows owners of a billion dollar biz are gonna have big egos & be demanding, all things equal, their image & their personality is the difference in public opinion. Snyder does not seem very likable, whereas Cooke had charisma & was pretty savy about using the media. |

So some skirt worked with him for a whopping two years and now she's going to throw him under the bus so she can cash in on a book.
Wonderful.....

Re: Dancing With The Devil: The True Story of Working for Jack Kent Cooke
Name me one Billionaire that is not high maintenance and difficult to work for or deal with. Billionaires do not get to where they are by being a nice push over type. Of course JKC was sometimes difficult. So what.?.?

If this was about Snyder, this thread would already be 15 pages long
