Oct. 16, 1988: <\/strong>Jack Fleming and Myron Cope would seemingly be an odd mix in a radio booth. Fleming was known as a perfectionist (one of his cardinal rules: \u2018No gum chewing on the air\u2019). Cope brought to the microphone a nasally voice and an often spastic delivery peppered with words perhaps only understood by Pittsburghers (\u201cyoi,\u201d of course, and \u201cokle-dokle\u201d). But the two were a classic on-air combination for years while the Steelers soared.<\/p>\n

Flemming broadcast play-by-play from 1965 to 1993. His call of the Immaculate Reception on Dec. 23, 1972 is considered one of the greatest of all time. Cope\u2019s 35-year run as the Steelers\u2019 color commentator ended with his retirement in 2005.<\/p>\n

On this edition of \u201cSports \u2018n \u2018at,\u201d Bob Dvorchak looks back at the Steelers radio voices from past to present.<\/p>\n
