There is no chance DS will build a new stadium on his own dime.
I'm in no way a snyder fan/defender/supporter/etc, but that's hardly unique to him.
The NFL has successfully made itself a bully to local, state, and in a sense even the federal government. All these new stadiums are being financed by governments. If I recall, even JKC had FedEx paid for by PG County; the redskins just have a 30 year lease on the stadium.

Definitely not unique to DS.
If memory serves JKC built Fed Ex with his own money which is why he called it JKC Stadium and why DS changed the name as fast as he could. JKC did have PGC and the State of MD pay for road improvements and upgrades near the stadium but not the stadium itself.

Hmmm.... that sounds more like what I remember hearing now that I think of it.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) remains sidelined | Comcast SportsNet Washington (http://www.csnwashington.com/redskinsblog/redskins-wr-desean-jackson-hamstring-remains-sidelined)
I hope this doesn't turn into a serious problem. I don't know much about hamstring injuries, but Miles Austin was pretty much decimated by them. Don't recall hearing about Jackson having issues with the Eagles though, so it's probably nothing.

JKC (the Skins) also built the rec center just outside the stadium .

Trick question. The answer is RG3...because the best defense is a good offense
You sir are always on your game.

Kind of off topic, but I wonder why Cooke was in such a rush to build a new stadium if he knew he wasn't going to keep the team in his family. Perhaps he knew it would sell for more, getting more for his foundation.

That's a lot of money but SF had to pay him.
