Myron Cope - The King
-
The greatest radio color guy in the history of the NFL. Inventor of The Terrible Towel, and a legend bigger than any player from the Steelers history. When he was alive, we used to turn the volume down on the TV broadcast to listen to him over the video. In recent years the lag got too be too great, so we turned the TV off…
This is well worth a few minutes of your time… I’ve been trying to think write a post about Myron and The Towel for a couple of weeks. I just can’t tell the story as well as @Jolly would…

Bunping this because the video didn’t link at first.

Definitely a skill in being a sports announcer. A lot happening in a very short time. Each sport requires a bit different style I think.
