    a terrible tribute


    RIP Myron Cope, legendary Pittsburgh broadcaster and creator of the Terrible Towel. The Towel came into being in 1975, the same year (and city) I was born in and it was a working class symbol of a working class team. My family moved to San Jose the next year, so I don't remember anything about Pittsburgh, but I've always identified myself with it, and I've always been a Steelers fan. We had a Terrible Towel purchased in Three Rivers Stadium which doesn't even exist anymore. I'm old.
