30 for 30 - Jimmy The Greek - What a Great Documentary - GotAction.com

“The NFL Today” on CBS was one of the preeminent sports programs on television in the early 1980s. It was a perfect combination of reporting, analysis, predictions, humor and talent. But there was no personality on the show more popular than Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder. Snyder was born Dimetrios Georgios Synodinos in Steubenville, Ohio.

 According to his New York Times obituary of April 22, 1996, Snyder's family roots were on the island of Chios, Tholo potami in the Aegean Sea. Jimmy overcame childhood tragedy, moved to Las Vegas, and eventually became the biggest name in the world of sports handicapping.

When CBS added him as an “analyst” on “The NFL Today,” “The Greek” not only further increased his stature as a sort of national folk hero, but he also gained an air of respectability never before associated with gamblers.



Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Fritz Mitchell, who broke in as an intern on “The NFL Today,” will examine Snyder’s impact on the growth of sports gambling, while also taking a fresh look at The Greek’s tragic downfall. As a teenager in Ohio, he became acquainted with bookmakers.

According to his autobiography Jimmy the Greek, Snyder bet US$10,000 on the 1948 election between Thomas Dewey and Harry S. Truman, getting 17–1 odds for Truman to win. In a later interview he indicated that he knew Truman was going to win because Dewey had a mustache and "American women didn't trust men with a mustache".

He invested money in oil drilling and coal mining, but when those ventures failed, Snyder moved to Las Vegas in 1956 and began a weekly pro-football betting line.

Snyder appeared in a cameo in the 1981 comedy film The Cannonball Run as a bookie. In the movie he offered 50–1 odds against Formula One driver Jamie Blake (played by Dean Martin) and gambler Morris Fenderbaum (played by Sammy Davis Jr.) winning the Cannonball coast-to-coast endurance race. Jimmy the Greek and Dean Martin were childhood acquaintances in Steubenville, Ohio.

On November 10, 2009, ESPN aired a show in their 30 for 30 series titled The Legend of Jimmy the Greek, which was produced by Fritz Mitchell. Commentary was provided by, among others, Brent Musburger, Irv Cross and Phyllis George from The NFL Today, plus Anthony Snyder Jimmy's son, as well as his brother Johnny and sister Angie. The show also acknowledges his role in the first sportcasts of poker tournaments.

Although Jimmy was largely unknown outside of the United States, in 1974 his name achieved international renown. After beating George Foreman to regain the world heavyweight championship, Muhammad Ali, in the midst of an interview with David Frost, looked into the camera and addressed his doubters. "All of you bow" he said. "All of my critics crawl...All of you suckers bow... If you wanna know any damn thing about boxing, don't go to no boxing experts in Las Vegas, don't go to no Jimmy The Greek. Come to Muhammad Ali."


"The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way -- because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner -- the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid."

I never really remember hearing from or of him after he made that statement....
He was fired by CBS, retired from broadcasting, and died 12 years ago. The end.

Why New England should strongly consider Terrell Owens for the 2013-2014 NFL Football Season

GotAction, Inc. believes Terrell Owens would be a great asset to the New England Patriots.

With the 2013 NFL regular season just underway, there are many possible franchises in need of a veteran wide receiver to fill the offensive void plagued by injuries. According to league sources, numerous NFL general managers have already contacted Terrell Owens agent inquiring about his current status and availability. From the outside looking in, GotAction, Inc. feels that Terrell Owens would be a perfect match for the New England patriots. 

Below are a couple of reasons why we feel this should happen.

1. They can get him for a low cost
2. He's still in great shape
3. They are in need of a veteran receiver who possesses experience in the NFL whom can provide knowledge and leadership to the young blood.
4. Gives Tom Brady a big body, physical target that poses a threat over the middle of the field.
5. To prove he still has value and his hunger to exceed and play for a world championship franchise.
6.  Currently Tom Brady has: Gronkowski (injured) Danny Amendola, Tim Tebow along with a bunch of unproven rookies who need a leader and an experienced potential hall of famer.
7. Terrell Owens has learned his lesson about keeping himself, his actions and his overall persona in line due to his release from the Seahawks and lack of interest thereafter.

Yes, No? MAYBE? We Think So...
