When Myron retired, I kicked myself for never recording a single game off the radio. Now, I'm even more upset about it. No doubt he's having a drink with the Chief right now.

mpolak21 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yeah I used to listen to Myron quite a bit, growing up a Steelers' fan. I was very sad to see this today, he was endlessly entertaining. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Myron Cope sound bites oh my GOD that is the best... for someone who didn't get to listen to Cope in action all that much having never lived in Pittsburgh, this is positively priceless.

toby Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Washington, huh? you ever go to pancake? you're referring to the skating rink i presume? went to a few birthday parties up there when i was little. not many times other than that, my sense of balance is horrible and i love not having broken wrists. you frequented it much? since you seem to know washington i'd like to give a shout out to SHORTY'S and OSSO'S! also, terrible towels have suddenly become even more of a hot commodity in southwestern pa.
