WASHINGTON (AP) -- Howard Milstein walked out of the hotel in Atlanta immediately after withdrawing his $800 million bid for the Washington Redskins last month. His minority partner, Daniel Snyder, stayed behind. Snyder avoided the cameras, took the elevator to his room and spent the next few hours on the phone putting together his own bid -- one that could win. Forty-eight days later, Snyder is back in Atlanta for another NFL meeting. Barring a major surprise, his $800 million offer for the Redskins and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium will win easy approval Tuesday, making the 34-year-old Bethesda, Md., communications executive the youngest owner in the league. ``I don't anticipate any problems,'' New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft said last week after the finance committee unanimously voted to recommend Snyder's bid. While Milstein had problems from the start, Snyder was able to watch and learn from the mistakes and has done just about everything right in the eyes of the league office and the other team owners. Milstein relied exclusively on borrowed money, so Snyder and new partners Fred Drasner and Mort Zuckerman are putting up more than $350 million cash. Milstein asked politicians to lobby for him and his campaign was very visible in the media, an approach that rankled many owners, so Snyder has been quiet and the leaks to the press have dried up. Milstein came with a reputation for being litigious in his other business dealings, while Snyder emerged virtually unscathed from the league's background checks. When Milstein's bid was submitted by the estate of late owner Cooke in January, commissioner Paul Tagliabue and some owners pointed out that only the league could choose its membership. After Milstein withdrew, the trustees worked more closely with the league office the second time around to gain more input before submitting Snyder's bid. Milstein, meanwhile, says he was unfairly treated. He filed suit last week against team president John Kent Cooke and general manager Charley Casserly, claiming they undermined the process by persuading owners to vote against him in order to get Cooke's own bid approved. Milstein pulled out April 7 when it became apparent he did not have the necessary 24 votes for approval from the 31 owners. Cooke attempted to re-enter the bidding, but the trustees negotiated only with Snyder. Milstein's suit seeks tens of millions of dollars in damages, but does not attempt to prevent the sale of the team to Snyder. If the sale is approved, Snyder and his bankers will begin the process of closing the deal. Once the money is exchanged, in June, Snyder will become the majority owner and thus end 25 years of Cooke family control of one of the league's high-profile franchises. Jack Kent Cooke, who became majority owner in 1974, died in 1997. Rather than leave the team and stadium to John, his only surviving son, the elder Cooke ordered in his will that the assets be sold to fund a charitable foundation that would grant postgraduate scholarships. -=-=-
