Myron Cope has announced the final touchdown. Cope was the Steelers’ #1 announcer and invented the legendary Terrible Towel. I never did much like watching sports, but Cope’s…er…unique voice has a permanent place in my memories of the Sunday afternoons of a Steelers-loving family. You will be missed, Myron.
“This is Myron Cope on sports.”
There’s a frood who really knew where his towel was.
I forsee a lot of yellow being aired out at the next home game…
Double-Yoi! He’ll be greatly missed. 
I was coming on-line to see if word of this was out there. A friend of mine saw a guy at Best Buy wearing a Terrible Towel, presumably in Myron Cope’s honor. Something uniquely Pittsburgh has passed.
I found out at work today when I went back to fix my lunch and the news was on.
Say hi to The Chief for us, “Marn”.
Often imitated, but never duplicated. I hope Myron is sitting with Art Rooney, smoking cigars and swapping stories. His popularity went beyond Pittsburgh, he was the voice of the Steelers to fans everywhere.
That’s so sad. I’m glad I was reading CS today; thanks for posting! I know I’ll miss listening to him calling Steeler games.
Oh, this is the best! I’m 10 years old again.
RIP man. You were the voice of Pittsburgh sports.
Anyone remember the Kennywood commercial with him and John Signa? Or was it someone else?
