Mourning Myron (1929 - 2008)

This is not my usual tone, but I would like to take a second and remember Myron Cope who passed away yesterday. Myron was the broadcaster for the Pittsburgh Steelers and his tenure with the Steelers Network was the longest in NFL history for a broadcaster with any one single team. He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2005, making him the first and only (to date) American Football commentator to receive this honor.

Myron is most remembered for his screechy voice, unique broadcasting style and of course, the Terrible Towel. Myron possessed a level of passion and dedication that I think we all can learn quite a bit from. He left an indelible mark on the Steelers Football program and he will be surely missed.
