Product Description
This entertaining autobiography recounts the life and times of one of Pittsburgh's most colorful characters. Famed for his raspy voice and his willingness to be a ham, broadcaster Myron Cope has been on the sidelines of Steelers? football for more than 30 years and has witnessed an essential part of the team's history. In Myron Cope: Double Yoi! the author gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at famed Steeler players and management. He peers behind Terry Bradshaw's ?aw-shucks? persona, reveals the man behind the steely-eyed mask of Chuck Noll, and recounts stories about the famed ?Steel Curtain.? Along with being a well-known broadcaster, Cope was once a writer, as well. He enjoyed creating profiles about the interesting oddballs that the sports world has in abundance and interviewed some of the most eccentric figures.

The book was good. Cope takes you through the golden years of the Steelers and gives you a behind the scene look at the players, coaches, and the Rooneys. He's got some great stories as well and his honesty is clearly evident throughout the book. This is a must read for any Steelers fan especially one who lived through the Super Bowls of the 70's.

Myron is unquestionably the king of Pgh. Reading this book brought back a ton of fond memories from when I lived in the 'Burg. I highly recommend to anyone who has Pgh ties or is at all familiar with Myron.

To grow up in Pittsburgh during the 1970s a Steeler fan is to grow up loving Myron Cope and this book is a great example of why we love Myron. It is Cope at his most honest and revealing. He does not portray himself as something he is not, but as a flawed man who has worked hard and lived a great life. Of course there are the terrific tales of the Steelers' teams that Cope has covered from the broadcast booth and the characters that have populated them. Any Steelers fan will enjoy this book.

Double Yoi is the one of the best books that I have ever read. It is truely an entertaining read. It is a well written biographical look at Myron Cope's career in journalism and broadcasting as well as a combination of some of his favorite anecdotes. Any one who loves Myron Cope should read this book as well as those who hate him. I think that they will find a new appreciation for the Pittsburgh Icon. Cope also threw in some criticisms of things and people he doesn't really care for but he does this in a classy way. I am a huge Steeler fan but I don't think that one needs to be to enjoy this book.
Great Job Myron!!
