Double Yoi!

Myron Cope

4.9/5 (33226 ratings)

Description:Now lengthily updated to include Myron Cope's odyssey into retirement and the Steelers' breathtaking Super Bowl XL run, this entertaining, revealing memoir of the Pittsburgh writer-turned-broadcaster recounts memories and behind-the-scenes stories from a career that many call truly special. No broadcaster has come even close to matching his stretch of 35 years as radio color analyst for an NFL team's games -- in Cope's case, the five-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. He now returns to his earlier profession of writer-author and gives you even further insight into the performers who have inspired the Steelers Nation. Their path to the top is reflected in observ-ations he offers with admiration, amusement, and blunt criticism.Seasoned with laugh-out-loud anecdotes and touching vignettes, Double Yoi! shares Cope's most personal moments, from labor pains in birthing the "Terrible Towel" to the reason behind his charity work with the physically and mentally afflicted -- among them, his son Danny -- to his emotional dedication to his late wife, Mildred, who died after a long battle with cancer. The author's most embarrassing moments, including getting the hook during his Pro Football Hall of Fame acceptance remarks, are here as well.Famed for his raspy voice and incendiary style, Myron Cope transcended mere broadcasting to become part of the Pittsburgh Steelers mythos and a football legend. From firsthand experiences, Cope brings his takes on the famous, such as Terry Bradshaw, Muhammad Ali, the Dallas "Cryboys," and Bill Cowher. Cope also explains how he helped John F. Kennedy become America's first Catholic President and how Frank Sinatra nearly cost him his job. You'll alsolearn why he was kidnapped by Franco's Italian Army and how his birth name was deemed "too Jewish" to be his byline.
