Marv Albert's Great Manning-to-Tyree Call

Although I thought Joe Buck of Fox did solid work during Super Bowl XLII, I must agree with Awful Announcing and say that Marv Albert, who was calling the Super Bowl on the radio, did a better job than Buck of calling the instant classic Manning to Tyree play:

Albert and Buck both noted that Eli Manning faced pressure at the start of the play and that David Tyree made a spectacular catch at the end of the play. But Albert had a bit more excitement in his voice, as though he appreciated that he was calling one of the great plays in football history. Albert is known more for basketball, but he always does very good work when calling NFL games.
