	Myron Cope-The quintessential sports journalist
		Myron Cope announced his retirement on Tuesday after 35 years as the color analyst for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and while that job is the one for which he's most famous, he was so much more than that.
		Cope will go down in NFL history as the creator of the Terrible Towel, and over the course of its 30-year existence that magical piece of terrycloth has generated millions of dollars for the Allegheny Valley School, an institution for the profoundly mentally and physically disabled.
		Cope was so respected that in 1983 he became the first member of the broadcast media to be appointed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame to its Board of Selectors.

		You know, Myron has accomplished so much over his career, and we’ll distribute a bio, which certainly is evidence of that, but I think Myron’s greatest accomplishment is the sort of bigger-than-life magnitude of his ability to again earn that admiration of respect with not only people in this region but all over the country.
		Myron, we’ll never forget your unique approach, the lightening-quick wit and intellect, the amazing analysis and perspective that you’ve shared with us, and certainly the twisted sense of humor and insight over the years.
		Myron Cope: Oh, that’s OK. Hey, it’s very nice of you Dan and let me say this, and I told this to Art the other day, the great thing that helped me throughout my career was that you guys never interfered with me. You never told me what to say, what not to say.

		But that nasal gargle, which Cope himself often mocks, masked the very civil way that Cope conducted his talk show (even idiotic callers got a fair shake).
		Out of all of the thousands of people who have talked to Cope over the years, and the hundreds of local yokels who've interviewed him, I'm sure I rank somewhere between the nacho guy at Giants Stadium and the gas station attendant who wiped his windows in 1974.
		Cope's chapters about the death of his wife and his own struggle with depression and drinking are wrenching and funny at the same time.
