You don't want it, you don't need it, but you're going to get it anyway.

The Kevin Sheehan Show, here's Kevin.

25 years ago today, Jack Kent Cook passed away at the age of 84 years old.

This was the obituary written by R.H. Melton and Richard Justice in the Washington Post

the following day, Monday, April 7th. Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cook, who built the

NFL franchise into a three-time Super Bowl champion and was nearing completion of a monumental

new stadium in suburban Maryland

died yesterday after suffering a heart attack at his home in northwest Washington. He was 84.

Cook, who had a long history of heart and respiratory problems, was pronounced dead at George

Washington University Hospital at 12.09 p.m. after collapsing in his library yesterday morning,

said Robert Chesser, the chief of the hospital's emergency room, who was on duty at the time.

And then there's a description of him not responding to medical treatment, etc.

And then a paragraph about Cook being at the

hospital where he passed away being attended to by his wife at the time, Marlene Romalo Cook,

his son John Kent Cook, his daughter-in-law, and his grandson. Then I pick it up a little bit further down in the article.

Redskins officials and Cook Aids said they expected little disruption in overall management

of the team or the final phases of the $175 million, $78,600 seat stadium in Landover just inside the Capitol Beltway in PG County.

John Kent Cook, the team president, has told associates that he intends to keep the Redskins in the family

and assume control of day-to-day operations.

The younger cook, who has held wide-ranging authority over the team for the past several years,

declined to comment yesterday and instructed his staff and all coaches to refrain from publicly

discussing his father's death.
