I have no excuse.
"Myron Cope", born "Myron Sidney Kopelman",
was an American sports journalist, radio personality, and sportscaster. He is best known for being "Color commentator/the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers."
Cope was a color commentator for the Steelers' radio broadcasts for 35 years. 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.
More Myron Cope on Wikipedia.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.
