Steelers fans want more than a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Super Bowl Sunday. They also want Myron Cope back in the broadcast booth.
...
But it's not going to happen.
"It's really just not realistic from the standpoint of his health," said Joe Gordon, a former Steelers publicist and close friend of Cope.
Gordon, speaking on Cope's behalf, said the 77-year-old Mt. Lebanon resident was hospitalized with pneumonia just a few weeks ago. Cope has been troubled by health problems in recent years and had throat surgery in

Hmm ha and okle dokle! Here's hoping Myron feels better soon.
I wish the best for Cope, but I think he should sit back and enjoy the game. He's earned it.
He likes to watch the games by himself anyhow!
Check out this excellent article!

Retired Broadcaster Cope Can Still Get Out a Good 'Double Yoi!'
Sunday, January 22, 2006 ----- By Chico Harlan, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
You are right; I read that article. By the way, I wrote a "steeler song" about winning the superbowl for Myron. It's a parody of a U2 song and contains clips of "Copeisms". I didn't do it for money. It has been downloaded a lot. Find "In The Name Of Cope" at www.pittsburghsteelersmusic.com.
This Steeler fan doesn't want Myron (the way he is now) back in the broadcast booth but of course if he could miraculously recover..:).. of course I'd also want Jack Fleming back doing play by play.
As liberal as the PG is, that article is wonderful! One can only imagine how Cope would've sounded, had he broadcast that game.

"Before typing his pieces, he spread all his notes across the floor, searching for a way to move beyond that terrifying and great moment when the story existed purely in his mind. He thrived like few other writers of his era. He mastered a style that would later mirror his oral storytelling -- he flowed from scene to scene in his narratives, lovingly riding tangents, as if train-hopping, but always returning to the original direction."

That is such good writing.

Myron Cope shouted Howard Cosell into silence. Nobody who heard him will ever forget the Cope years with the Steelers.
If they win I hope the Trophy is accepted on behalf of Myron. It would be nice for the fans at the game to holler Myron!!!kind of like Rudy!!!!!!!! Let see if we can get Myron to come back for The Draft,I love his stories and comments.
Super Bowl XXL This one's for Myron!!!!!!!!!!!1
it's a Burgh thing!!!
What is really so nice about the Towel, is that Myron gave the royalities (amounting to millions at this point) to the Allegheny Valley School for Exceptional Children. Myron's son is autistic and a resident there.
Hey Steeler fans,anybody out there????????
