I know there are a lot of people on this board with Pittsburgh connections, so I wanted to share the sad news that Myron Cope passed away today at the age of 79...he was a legend, and he'll be dearly missed. My terrible towel is at half mast! :-(

Here's an article:

For those of you who don't know, he was the color guy for the Steelers for 35 years and was one of a kind! He invented the Terrible Towel and was also a great journalist. Until he retired in 2004, it was tradition in my house to turn down the TV during a game, and turn up the radio to listen to Myron, Billy and Tunch. Myron was always telling great stories and inventing fun words like Yoi!, and Steelers radio hasn't been the same since he retired. He was a great man.


:toast: to Myron!!
