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."

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

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)

[edit] 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?

[edit] Annoying

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

[edit] 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)
