How many of us have watched football games where fans were waving towels? I thought so....
The inventor of the original "Terrible Towel", and the long-time voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers has passed to the ages.
Myron Cope, an icon of the sports broadcasting scene passed away in the early hours of the 27th of February, 2008, after suffering from heart and lung problems. He was 79 years old.

There is so much to say about Myron Cope that it can never all be put in to words, but the little piece of my world has lost a voice we all recognized, and a spirit we all grew to love.
God bless ya Myron, hm haaaa, you made us laugh with your witt, and you made us get behind our home team. The Steelers never needed cheerleaders, we had Myron Cope.
