New twist on an old tale:

'TWAS THE DAY OF THE AFC TITLE GAME
'Twas the day of the title game, when along the Heinz Field shore,
Steelers fans were praying for "just one more;"
The players were nestled all snug in the sack,
With visions of one more for their NFL Six-Pack;
Tomlin is young, but wise for his years,
The fans entered shouting without any fears;
When at the stadium there arose some strange chatter,
The Jets feared, what was the matter;
We heard "Okel Dokel," we heard "Double Yoi,"
We jumped from our seats, our hearts jumped for joy;
He stood at the fifty with a grin ear to ear,
Steelers fans everywhere started to cheer;
Then in an instant to our surprise,
This little old man had tears in his eyes;

He went to the booth and there took his chair,
While Terrible Towels waved in the air;
Then over the airwaves came his shrill voice,
The Steelers Nation began to rejoice;
He said, "I am back, but you know I can't stay,
I just had to see my Steelers play;
From my home up above, I have a great view,
But I wanted to celebrate here with you;
So bring on the Jets, we'll send them a flyin',
On the way back to New York, they will be cryin';
Ben, Hines, Troy, the Jameses and the rest,
No matter the outcome, to me you're the best;"
The airwaves went silent, the stadium still,
Was this just a dream, it seemed so real?
In our team we have faith, in our team we have hope,
But the game's not the same without Myron Cope.

Great Sue, I love it.

Happy Birthday MR Cope. Wish you were here to watch this, but somehow I'm not sure you aren't.
