Albert May Soon Return To Work

Associated Press

Marv Albert is back in demand.

Just two weeks after a trial that seemingly shattered his career with lurid allegations of kinky sex, Albert’s spokesman said the disgraced sportscaster has already received several potential job offers.

“He’s delighted with the outpouring of support from his fans and from people in broadcasting,” said publicist Howard Rubenstein. “But he’s deferring any decisions… . He needs time. He has to consider how to bring back his wonderful reputation.”

The spokesman declined to specifically address a Daily News report Friday that Albert was speaking with all-sports radio station WFAN-AM in New York for a job that would start in January.

WFAN general manager Joel Hollander denied that he made an offer, but acknowledged that he’s spoken with Albert “a number of times” since the sportscaster pleaded guilty last month to assault and battery in a biting attack on an ex-lover in a Virginia hotel room.

Albert’s plea followed a trial rife with lurid allegations about his sexual tastes.
