IS SNYDER LOOKING TO TAKE THE COOKE OUT OF STADIUM NAME?

          The Redskins "have changed their letterhead to refer
     to" Jack Kent Cooke Stadium as Redskins Stadium, according
     to Mark Maske of the WASHINGTON POST.  An anonymous
     spokesperson for Owner Daniel Snyder said that the "shift
     may be a precursor to the sale of the naming rights," but
     Cooke's name "has not been removed" from the stadium.  The
     spokesperson: "The name Redskins Stadium has been used, but
     there's no systematic effort to take Cooke's name off the
     stadium."  The spokesperson, on whether naming rights could
     be sold in time for the '99 season: "Anything is possible,
     but nothing is on the front burner" (WASHINGTON POST, 7/30).
