Cope...
A sad, sad day. Unique, in the same way as Harry Carey in baseball. Not only did he name the Terrible Towel, he invented the damn things, and never made a dime, all pofits have always gone to charity...
What I admire most about Cope was he was an every-man. Not a radio or broadcaster by trade, but merely a fan. More teams should employ such people in their booths.

He was a character all right
I lived in Akron for about a year, and did some travel to Pittsburgh in that time. I used to catch some games on the radio. I'm glad I got the chance to hear him. (I'll never forget a Browns fan friend of mine who told me that he thought Cope sounded like a castoff from the Sopranos!)
He's definetly one of the sports radio legends.
