Dan Rooney On The Death Of Myron Cope

  The entire Steelers organization is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Myron Cope. Myron touched millions of people throughout his life, first as a tremendous sportswriter and then as a Hall of Fame broadcaster.

Myron was also a very close friend. His contributions and dedication to Steelers football were incredible. His creation of The Terrible Towel™ has developed into a worldwide symbol that is synonymous with Steelers football. He also helped immortalize the most famous play in NFL history when he popularized the term "Immaculate Reception".

Myron was a very passionate person who truly cared about others and dedicated much of his personal time to help numerous charities.

Our prayers and deepest sympathies go out to the entire Cope family. Myron will remain in our thoughts and will forever be a member of the Steelers family.
