Myron Cope was a sports journalist who, for 35 years, was the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is also known as the creator of the Terrible Towel. Cope was a lifelong Pittsburgher, receiving his education from Taylor Allderdice High School and the University of Pittsburgh. By the age of 22 he was already working for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and was able to freelance with articles published in both Sports Illustrated and the Saturday Evening Post. His most notable piece was a profile of sportscaster Howard Cosell, which was selected by Sports Illustrated as one of the greatest articles they've ever published. In the 60s Cope was given a radio show on WBGG, from there he was offered a job as part of the Steeler's Radio team in 1970 where he remained until his retirement in 2005.
