Marv Albert pops a boner over Benny the Bull
SI.com- The Eastern Conference finals opening game between the Bulls and Heat was the most-viewed NBA game in history on cable television, TNT announced Monday. The network's coverage of the Bulls' 103-92 romp drew 11.1 million total viewers and a 6.2 U.S. household rating, topping TNT's previous record of 10.8 million viewers for Michael Jordan's last All-Star Game, in 2003.
"From the broadcast point of view, particularly [Sunday] night when everybody was so pumped up, this goes back to the Michael Jordan days, just with the PA and the introduction of the lineups, it just gets to you," said TNT's Marv Albert, who called the game. "There aren't many places like this and for a broadcast; it's just perfect. For me, just the sight of Benny The Bull does it. I'm ready after I see Benny."
