Art Rooney II On The Death Of Myron Cope

  The passing of Myron Cope is a tremendous loss for the entire Steelers organization and for Steelers fans around the world. Whether it was his work as a broadcaster or his creation of The Terrible Towel™, Myron played an important part in the Steelers game day experience.

Myron touched the hearts of Steelers fans for 35 years and became one of the true legends in broadcasting history. His memorable voice and unique broadcasting style became synonymous with Steelers football. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery and no Pittsburgh broadcaster was impersonated more than Myron.

We have lost a great friend in Myron Cope, but history will remember him as one of the great sportscasters of any era.

Our prayers go out to the entire Cope family. Though he can never be replaced, his impact will continue to live strong at every Steelers game.
