To multiple generations of New York sports fans, he was the voice of the team he called the “New York Football Giants,” as well as the New York Knicks. National listeners recognized him as the narrator of movie theater newsreels in the 1940’s and 1950’s. But as a young man, he was a world-class sprinter, and a member of the United States 4x100 Olympic relay team at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. On the morning of the race, however, he and teammate Sam Stoller, who were both Jewish, were mysteriously replaced on the relay team by order of US Olympic Committee head Avery Brundage. Until his dying day, this broadcasting giant insisted that Brundage, a notorious anti-Semite, pulled him from the relay because he did not want to subject German chancellor Adolf Hitler to the embarrassment of watching the US win gold while featuring two Jewish runners. Who was this Hall of Fame sportscaster, who punctuated Knicks’ baskets with the catchphrase, “Good! Like Nedick’s!”
