I just saw an episode of Frontline called "The Unauthorized History of the NFL." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgTepbjAKEk It mentioned that Jimmy Snyder was jailed for mob ties (I think gambling related) and then got a presidential pardon (I think from Ford). Thought that was a neat piece of history that's not reflected on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.135.33.8 ( talk) 23:32, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
For the record: the quote of Mr Snyder's comment is taken from Snopes' page. Przepla 23:55, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Should "Pittsburgh suburb of Steubenville, Ohio" be changed, (at least the "Pittsburgh suburb" part? Steubenville is definitely NOT a suburb of Pittsburgh.
Perhaps someone should reconsider the heading "Controversial statements." There's only one statement being referred to, here. Granted, there was a lot more to it than quoted in the article. I remember seeing it on TV. He said something to the effect that black people are "bred" for athletic ability; he also said something about black people having more muscled thighs, so they can run faster and jump higher. But although it was several sentences, it was only one statement, in the broad sense of the word--one career ruining statement. Using the word "statements" suggests that there were other instances. 140.147.160.78 17:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza
One thing I know about Jimmy the Greek is that he had a child or children who died of cystic fibrosis. This was mentioned in Frank deFord's (whose daughter Alex died of it) in his SI obit of Jimmy. I don't have the verifiable information but if I can dig it up, I'll add it.
Some other personal info might be nice too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beckerbuns ( talk • contribs) 17:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC).
Image:CaptureD13JimmySnyder.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Anyone else sees anything wrong with this statement? "As a teenager in Ohio, he naturally became acquainted with bookmakers"? Naturally ? Just because he was an Ohio teen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.138.82 ( talk) 06:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure, but I think at the time of his firing there were some African-Americans who expressed support for Snyder (though his statements were extremely distasteful, it doesn't mean they weren't true...his statements could have been interpreted as anti-racist and a criticism of the institution of slavery...) any references on that?

In the effort of Wikipedia fairness and neutrality, I added information on the historical research that Southern slave holders desired the strongest slaves and that there were many witness reports that Southern slave owners did in fact breed slaves. Jimmy the Greeks reputation is on the line. I am not defending or condoning any of Jimmy the Greeks statements. Cmguy777 ( talk) 19:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Are there any reliable sources that state whether Snyder was successfull at sueing the CBS network or if there was an arbitration settlement? Cmguy777 ( talk) 00:40, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
I've added the decision in the article. Robert.Baruch ( talk) 20:17, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

First time commenting on a page here.
I saw that a citation was needed for Jimmy's quote "American women didn't trust men with a mustache".
