Jimmy "the Greek" paraphrased what Rafer Johnson said about blacks being able to run faster and jump higher because of breeding.

Do you know why Jimmy the Greek really got fired? Because he couldn't pick winners. I used to watch him on CBS, and he was hitting maybe 40% against the spread. Jimmy made his name by making Truman the 11-10 favorite over Dewey in the 1948 election (he knew that the way people bet was a better indication of their preferences than what they told pollsters), but by the 1980s, he was washed up.
