clarification needed

The article states:

"However with the Nets struggling this season, the Nets management relegated Albert to secondary play-by-play, to avoid a similar incident while Albert was with the Knicks."

What incident? 65.0.121.109 (talk) 00:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't really one incident. It was that MSG owner James Dolan wants his announcers to play the fans for fools and never point out the obvious when either the Knicks and Rangers are playing bad. If the Knicks lost by 34 points, Dolan wanted the announcers to talk about a Knicks getting 12 rebounds. Marv Albert refused to pander. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.245.177 (talk) 06:35, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

what does serve up a facial mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.56.238 (talk) 02:46, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In basketball terms a facial is an emphatic blocked shot.

Double standard for different celebrities...

For some reason, it was decided that Erin Brokovitch's bio would not contain any mention of her DUI arrest, even though she is famous for making others pay for breaking the law, and putting people in danger. Even though her arrest shows her to be a hypocrite as she felt that it was OK to do something that kills so many people very year and injures so many more, it was ruled that it is not something that belongs on her bio. So how come Marv Albert's arrest belongs when it has absolutely no connection to why he is famous? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.245.177 (talk) 06:25, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're confused. An arrest for misdemeanor DUI is a trivial matter compared with prosecution for felony rape. Moreover, Albert was a huge public figure whose sexual assault case was widely reported. Thus it is noteworthy and appropriate to be contained in a biographical article about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.248.88 (talk) 04:07, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"tests proved that the bite marks were his"

I don't know if this falls under original research, but I feel after watching John Oliver's talk, not withstanding Albert's subsequent confession, can the statement "tests proved that the bite marks were his" really be made?!? --Zaurus (talk) 00:45, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you put under in the Catgories people charged with sexual assault?

Why don't you put under in the Catgories people charged with sexual assault? Or something like that? Is it because he's a Jew?

Remove BLP tags

I am going to remove the blp tags and remove the headings about being ousted from NBC. In addition, probably remove the unsourced note about the Simpsons as it doesn't seem terribly relevant. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 18:20, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
