An era ends in Pittsburgh

Had the privilege of traveling with Mike through three Penguins seasons in the early '80s -- even did our own "Wedding Crashers" thing one night in Calgary. The only drawback being, of course, that I didin't get to hear him on game nights those seasons. A class act in every way. As long as he's still doing radio PBP, there's no reason for mass leapage off Mount Washington.

Meanwhile, anybody got an update on Myron Cope? Another genuine legend.

 

Unavailable for comment. Hmm ha.

 

"Well, I'll be cow kicked."


"Bow wow pee cow kick."


Amazing who can land on their feet in this business.

 

The worst is he's being replaced with Paul Steigerwald. The three Steigerwald brothers (Paul, John and Bill) only have one brain between them. What if Paul is doing the game one of the rare nights Bill needs the brain?

 

Back in my past life, i knew both John and Paul professionally. One was a total asshole, one was arrogant, but a good guy who was always quick with a joke and kind word.....any guesses as to which was which?

 

Scratch my back with a hacksaw !

 

Sirs, Madames,

Steigerwald is the brother George Costanza never had.
