YOI!!! Myron is the mother of the Terrible Towel as well as the bane of the Cincy Bungles. Double YOI to the Brownies & the Ravens. Myron should run for Mayor of the 'Burgh. His commentary with Tunch on DVE was the cat's *** on game day.

He's the Steelers commentator and the sound he makes is Yoi!!
Before the 2004 season, Myron had missed only five quarters of Steelers football in his 34 years on the job.
He missed one quarter of a game early in his career to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law. He missed a game in 1994, when his wife, Mildred, died.
Every Steelers fan knows that there is nothing like watching a game called by Myron Cope, Bill Hillgrove and Tunch Ilkin. Myron made the bad games bearable and made the great games even better. Widely known as the creator of the Terrible Towel, Myron has also been given credit by Jack Ham with coining the "Steel Curtain" nickname for the Hall of Fame defense of the 70's. He also was the first broadcaster to use Michael Ord's Immaculate Reception description of Franco's miraculous catch. More complete biographical information can be found in Pitt Magazine.

Myron Cope (born January 23, 1929 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), whose given name is Myron Sydney Kopelman, was a color commentator for the Pittsburgh Steelers' radio broadcasts for 35 years. He is known for his nasal voice and a level of excitement rarely exhibited in the broadcast booth. To this point, Cope is the only American football commentator to be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame

Myron Cope was a color commentator for the Pittsburgh Steelers' radio broadcasts for 35 years
Cope has a repertoire of unique catchphrases employed in his broadcasts such as "Hum-Hah!" and "Okel Dokel" (his version of "okey dokey"). Cope often uses Yiddish expressions, especially "Feh!" and "Yoi!" (sometimes multiplied as "Double Yoi" or "Triple Yoi").

He was a color commentator for the Pittsburgh Steelers' radio broadcasts for 35 years. He is known for his nasal voice and he displays excitement like no other in the broadcast. He makes several noises/catchphrases that he calls Cope expressions like the Yiddish expressions : fey and yoi (sometimes double yoi or triple yoi) and he also says Sen-Sey (short for sensational), Hum-Hah! and Okel Dokel (okey dokey).
