Myron Cope

The Pittsburgh sports scene lost a legend today. Myron Cope passed away at the age of 79. My fondest memories of Myron are from his WTAETV days when he would close his segment with his famous line, Myron Cope ooooonnnn Sports (I could not stand listening to him on the radio. I would rather watch Randy Cross provide color commentary on TV. That's not a compliment for Randy Cross.) Although he will be remembered for his Terrible Towel and Double Yois!, the most important work he performed was for Autism charities in the region. God bless Myron.
