News today out of Pittsburgh announced the passing of Hall of Fame sportscaster/journalist, Myron Cope.
Those of you outside of Pittsburgh may not appreciate what a legend Cope is. While health issues over the past few years has made this day long expected, it is still a big loss to those in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania – to all Steeler fans.
Cope, the inventor of the Terrible Towel, was a longtime newspaperman turned broadcaster. For thirty five years his combination nasally , gravely, sqeaky voice (yes, that combination is apparently possible) biasedly called the play-by-play. His voice was grating to all who were not used to it, but it was an operatic rallying-cry throughout Steeler Nation.
Myron will be missed.
