Myron Cope, the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, died today.
He was the voice of Steeler Nation for 35 years. His Pittsburgh accent remained uneradicated throughout his broadcast career, and my growin' up years were punctuated by his voice saying "This is Myron Cope, on sports."
You had to hear it to believe it. If you want to hear what we loved about him, go here. May I suggest you click on "Brown Brings McDonalds Onto Plane," to hear a pure, unfiltered, old-school Pittsburgh accent.
