GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Jack Kent Cooke could have seen what Mark Murphy has been doing for the past 18 years ...
"I think he'd probably be rolling over in his grave," Murphy chuckled in a recent interview with ESPN.
For Cooke, the late Washington owner when Murphy was a defensive back from 1977 to 1984, Murphy was everything an NFL owner despised in a player during that era. He was highly educated at Colgate University and served as Washington's player representative to the NFL Players Association. In that role, he helped lead the players' strike of 1982.
