He was known for his distinctive, nasally voice with an identifiable Pittsburgh English/Pittsburgh accent, idiosyncratic speech pattern, and a level of excitement rarely exhibited in the broadcast booth. Cope's most notable catch phrase was "yoi" . Cope was the first football announcer inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Cope's autobiography, Double Yoi!, was published in 2002 in literature/2002. Legislation honoring Cope is currently pending before the United States House of Representatives, having already passed in the United States Senate.

I have no excuse.

I didn't realize it was being televised live locally and being taped for showing later and they had to stick to a strict time frame. But like I said, that's no excuse.

Like all copycats, they flop. Maybe they (fans) sit on them and if they take them home they use them for dust rags.
