Archiving

I set up archiving on this talk page due to some outdated comments.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

Actual birth year?

Hey, does anyone know Marv Albert's actual birth year? For a while, the article said it was 1940, but recently I found it was edited to 1941. What is it? Is it 1940 or 1941? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigbrainkt (talkcontribs) 03:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes

Some of the quotes attributed to Marv seem to be a little too general. Ex: "And the game is tied at [score]." There isn't anything unique or substantial in that quote....maybe someone could clean up this section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.170.182 (talk) 09:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Albert's Attorney

It claims Albert's attorney in the 1997 sexual assault case was Jack Dunphy. However, when you click the link that takes you to Jack's home page it appears Mr. Dunphy died in 1992. This would lead me to believe without a shadow of doubt that this man did not represent Marv Albert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.251.190.106 (talk) 13:46, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Style

Albert has a tendency to pick on or tease his co-announcers in a joking way. Mike Fratello, dubbed the "Czar of the Telestrator" by Albert, is often the object of Albert's humor. Albert's tendency may be symptomatic of a sadistic streak apparently manifested in the 1997 back-biting incident.
