27th February, 2008 - 10:24 am
ESPN - Myron Cope, the long-time voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers and creator of the Terrible Towel, has died at age 79, according to the Associated Press.

He spent 35 seasons in the broadcast booth for the Steelers and was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2005.

"He doesn't play, he doesn't put on a pair of pads, but he's revered probably as much or more in Pittsburgh than Franco [Harris], all the guys," running back Jerome Bettis said. "Everybody probably remembers Myron more than the greatest players, and that's an incredible compliment." [READ]
