Michael WilbonGUEST
They seemed to be mad men who their general managers call them in, Bobby Beathard.
Michael WilbonGUEST
You know, the owner called him in, Jack Kent Cooke, Eddie DeBartolo, and they would be like, "What are you doing?"
Tony KornheiserHOST
Well, it worked.
Michael WilbonGUEST
Okay.
Peter DuganHOST
piano plays softly . . . VIOLIN PLAYS . . . ¦ ¦ ¶¶ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . . . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ We heard 12-year-old Joshua Kovach from Johnson City, Tennessee, perform Concert Polonaise by David Popper.
Peter DuganHOST
And Joshua is one of From the Top's Jack Kent Cooke young artists.
Peter DuganHOST
That was a lot of fun.
Joshua KovachGUEST
Yes, it was.
Justin GordonHOST
But mainly it was Timmons that occupied his attention now.
Justin GordonHOST
Timmons, where shrewd men like Sisson and Leslie and young recruits were slowly building the press into a popular paper.
Justin GordonHOST
And the entire staff became accustomed to Thompson working 16 or 17 hours a day, figuring ways of keeping everything going and at the same time paying off bank loans for four radio stations, dividends on shares, salaries, and expenses.
Justin GordonHOST
To them, the ordeal seemed hardly worthwhile.
John PhillipsHOST
And it brings me back to the old days in Los Angeles when we had an owner that owned two teams.
John PhillipsHOST
That man was Jack Kent Cooke.
Steve EdwardsGUEST
Right.
Steve EdwardsGUEST
That's right.
Keith JonesHOST
People have asked me for years, what's your show like? And it's like Mike and I are at a cocktail party and you're overhearing a conversation.
Keith JonesHOST
And the reason I say that is I harken back to many years ago when I was covering the NFL, Mike, and had an opportunity to interview Jack Kent Cooke, the owner of the Washington Redskins.
Keith JonesHOST
And put us in our the PR guys put us in our pecking order.
Keith JonesHOST
And I guess I was third behind some young guy from ABC News who wanted to talk with Jack Kent Cooke.
Keith JonesHOST
Exactly.
Keith JonesHOST
Some young guy, 18 year old, got an opportunity.
Keith JonesHOST
And he asked a question and Jack Kent Cooke answered it.
Keith JonesHOST
And at that point, he should have gone with, listened to the answer to the question, and then gone on to the next question.
Al GaldiGUEST
The, the whole thing with FedEx Field and Northwest Stadium really is a shame.
Al GaldiGUEST
It was a rush job to construct off everything that went down between Jack Kent Cooke, the owner prior to Dan Snyder, and the state of Maryland.
Al GaldiGUEST
So it was rushed to put up.
Al GaldiGUEST
It actually was not Dan Snyder's fault that the stadium was as bad as it was.
Jesse CohenHOST
Pulford's multi-year contract estimated at $50,000 per season had run out, but money was not his most important consideration.
Jesse CohenHOST
Pulley, which I'm assuming is short for Pulford, had argued in vain with owner Jack Kent Cooke over the necessity of keeping draft choices instead of trading them away.
Jesse CohenHOST
Pulford would like to become a coach general manager, and it's believed he's interested in positions with Buffalo, Chicago, Toronto, or Detroit.
Jesse CohenHOST
No replacement was announced for Pulford, who coached the Kings to a 178, 150, and 68 record.
Jesse CohenHOST
And so then I found this article, which I will read or this portion of this article.
Jesse CohenHOST
Milford, this is the former L.A. King's general manager who resigned a day before Bob Pulford talking to a reporter.
Jesse CohenHOST
Milford said that while Pulford can't negotiate with anyone until June 29th, there is a possibility that Kings owner Jack Kent Cooke might free him before then.
Jesse CohenHOST
We have a good chance to get Bobby.
Ari TemkinHOST
man.
Ari TemkinHOST
What was it like being the Lakers at that point in time? Because you had Jack Kent Cooke, sold the Lakers to Dr.
Ari TemkinHOST
Jerry Boss in 1979.
Ari TemkinHOST
And then, of course, Magic and Coop come and Pat Riley come.
Eddie GarciaHOST
By the way, I heard a story from, uh, our listener Frank, who said that the reason it was called Forum Blue, I didn't know this.
Eddie GarciaHOST
I assumed owner Jack Kent Cooke was just trying to promote the forum, which he built in Englewood for the Kings to play in and the Lakers.
Eddie GarciaHOST
I thought he just wanted to promote it.
Eddie GarciaHOST
That's why he called it the color purple, Forum Blue.
Eddie GarciaHOST
According to our guy Frank, the actual answer to that weird thing is that for some reason Jack Kent Cooke hated the word purple.
Eddie GarciaHOST
He didn't like to say it.
Eddie GarciaHOST
He didn't like it.
John PhillipsHOST
for the football team and the baseball team.
John PhillipsHOST
And at one point in the past, actually, the O'Malley family, who owned the Dodgers, when Jack Kent Cooke was going to sell the Kings and the Lakers, they considered buying both teams, building an arena in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium and changing all of the colors to blue.
John PhillipsHOST
That almost happened.
John PhillipsHOST
So whenever you get an owner that has multiple teams, those sorts of ideas, I'm sure, are percolating in their mind.
Randy WangHOST
It is for bragging purposes.
John PhillipsHOST
It is, but it didn't used to be that way.
John PhillipsHOST
Back in the old days when Jack Kent Cooke owned the Lakers and the Kings, the late, great Dan Avey was a good friend of mine who was one of the original broadcasters for the Kings back when they were on HBO.
John PhillipsHOST
And he was good friends with Chick Hearn, who did the play-by-play for the Lakers for so many years, the legendary Chick Hearn.
