Even with a raspy voice, the legendary broadcaster loved so much by the city he called home, announced to a gathering of his own colleagues that he was unable to continue his career.
Myron Cope, the innovator of "the terrible towel" fad, was saddened to call his career to an end when his list of ailments beginning last offseason became too much to bear. A 35 year veteran of the broadcasting industry, Cope was the most recognizable voices in Pittsburgh sports. He made all Steeler games unique with his own catch phrases and made up words. "Yoi!" and "Urm-ha" were just some of the added bonuses that listeners got from the unpredictable Cope.
