Cope released, will sit out Browns game

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope was released from the hospital Tuesday, but will miss the upcoming game in Cleveland because of a concussion.
Cope, who has endeared himself to thousands of Steelers faithful with his weekly barrage of mispronunciations and extra syllables, said he believes he struck his head on a stool during a workout Saturday.
The 75-year-old announcer overslept on game day -- something he said he has never done.
He took the wrong way to the stadium, arriving more than three hours later than normal and just making kickoff. His partners in the broadcast booth noticed he was struggling and he was taken to the hospital at halftime.
"I've got what the football players call post-concussive syndrome," Cope said. "It's when you have your bell rung badly. I know what they're talking about now."
Cope was released Tuesday afternoon.
He will follow the medical advice of doctors at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and sit out Sunday's game in Cleveland against the Browns.
"It's a disappointment, but I'm just a little tired right now and need some rest," he said. "I'll be back for Cincinnati."
