Talk:Marv Albert

Creepy

Guy sounds like a creep

Source

Need a source for this, or is it a joke?

He was embroiled in sexual scandal involving two [reindeer]s who when asked said that "It was a very interesting experience indeed, and we don't mind doing it again."

Lawsuit

Marv was taken off the air after a contretemps (arrest? lawsuit?) in which his longtime girlfriend/mistress decided she didn't care for his sexual practices (nipping, women's underwear) anymore. It probably should be mentioned. No reindeer were involved. Ortolan88

Jewish-American

I'm curious about the term "Jewish-American" used at the beginning of the article. What relevance does it have to his sportscasting career, or to his life in general? Nothing against his beliefs at all, but it somewhat reminds me how some news reports here in my home state of Alabama would refer to the race of a person mentioned, even when it had absolutely nothing to do with the story. Just curious.Realkyhick 03:01, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Question

A character named "Marv Albert" was featured in the first few episodes of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. I imagine this character was based off the real Marv Albert, although I am not sure if he himself did the voice or not. He was my favorite character without a doubt. He was dropped w/out explanation in the storyline, as far as I know. How come none of this was not mentioned in this article? And, why was none of this mentioned in the article about Celebrity Deathmatch?

Annoying

In some way, it has to be mentioned that Albert is a very annoying sportscaster. -Amit

NBA JAMS

Should'nt there be a section about his voice and phrases being immortalized in the classic basketball video game "NBA JAMS"?76.20.176.60 21:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

No, because he wasn't in NBA JAM. It was a bad impression & the guy used Marv's catch-phrases as well as other announcer's phrases. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.214.140 (talk) 22:51, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

News Center 4 Blooper

In the 1970s, Albert was the sports reporter on WNBC-TV's News Center 4 (a local news program broadcast from 5PM to 7PM, noted for its Battlestar Gallactica-style set).

On one of the broadcasts, after Albert had finished his report (and presumably said something either a little untoward or a double-entredre) the show went into a commercial break (this usually involves switching to a studiowide camera and playing the theme music).

While this was occurring, another male News Center 4 cast member was overheard (because either he was still on mic or the theme music did not play loudly enough or both) saying, "Marv, you're a pervert. You know that?"

If anyone has a copy of this blooper on tape, then please consider uploading it and linking it to a tastefully written passage in the article. (Tasteful, please.)

Popular quotations, calls and utterances

As noted by somebody else, this entire section is original research. Cite a source that lists these as "popular," or remove it entirely. I've already tried, only to have some self appointed wiki-cop called AngelOfSadness call it vandalism and put it back, exhibiting a desire to issue warnings and wield illusory power rather than think about what "Original Research" and "Unverified Claims" actually means. 24.4.253.249 00:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

If you're going to get THAT bent out of shape over it, just take out the word popular. I mean dude, calm down. And being a jerk and rude isn't going to help your case move along any faster. FamicomJL 02:09, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I set up archiving on this talk page due to some outdated comments.   jj137 (talk) 22:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
