DURHAM, N.C. — Jimmy (the Greek) Snyder, fired last weekend by CBS Sports after making racial remarks, was admitted to Duke Medical Center Friday afternoon with chest pains.
He was listed in good condition.
Snyder, 70, spent several days in July at the Medical Center, where examinations revealed that one of the three arteries to his heart was blocked. He joked at the time, “The interns were laying 15-1 odds that I would make it.”
Snyder, who lives with his wife, Joan, in Durham, also speaks to business groups and corporations, has done television commercials and has a syndicated column that appears in newspapers around the country.
