Sports Towel
Are you surprised about the furor over Towel Gate?
I’m listening to ESPN radio last evening and their Sports Center announcer reports on the “indident” where 2 Titans including Lendale White stomped on a terrible towel as if they should be indicted for a crime. They even said Coach Fisher “down played” the “incident” when questioned about it.
When was the terrible towel elevated to a status where everyone including fans and players from other teams are required to respect it and treat it with dignity at all times even in opposing teams stadiums?
I can actually see Pittsburgh people being upset as it relates to Myron Cope angle. Like Art Fucenda even I as a non-Steelers fan appreciate the guy. Having said that coming to an opposing teams stadium and waving the towel around can appear like taunting. I like most people didn’t know about the Myron Cope connection.
The Titan aren’t the Bengals.
As soon as it happened, I knew ESPN was going to play it for everything it was worth. I’m surprised they haven’t had Dr. Joyce Brothers on talking about how “unfair” this kind of behavior is.

Baseballgolf: Easier Baseball Techniques Will Lower Your Golf Score $13.95 While drying your sparkling clean ball on the dirty towel hanging from the ball washer, you take a deep breath and survey the scene. After teeing up your ball, you’re immediately confronted with the first of many questions of detail-the nagging minutiae of golf. What’s my target? Where do I stand? How do I stand?For many, learning traditional golf is often confusing and complicated. Conflicting tips and extraneous motion produce a difficult, high-maintenance sport that few golfers master. Combining the techniques of baseball and golf may be the answer. Hitting a ninety-five-mile-an-hour fastball is arguably one of the most difficult tasks in sports. But many golfers have trouble hitting a tiny golf ball lying motionless in the grass. Why? Author Tom Pezzuti offers a solution. Baseball does not use a backswing technique, and Pezzuti suggests this procedure lies at the root of many golf swing problems. Baseballgolf shows you how baseball principles apply to your grip, stance, power stroke, pitch shots, and putting. If you are not a touring pro who practices six to eight hours a day, then you need low-maintenance, simpler methods of playing golf. Try Baseballgolf, and watch your game soar! |

Cohn-Head: A No-Holds-Barred Account of Breaking Into The Boys’ Club $24.95 The real challenge is when a baseball player comes up to you to do an interview and then drops his towel just as you’re about to ask your first question. I know it’s difficult for you guys out there to understand, just because it may be a fantasy of yours for a woman to come up to you in a locker room somewhere and drop her towel. But the opposite does not hold true. It really doesn’t. In fact, it’s a little creepy.” One of America’s most successful female anchors lays bare her hard-fought rise to the top of the sportscasting boys’ club and her life inside the ESPN empire. She talks candidly about her own successes and missteps, and reveals her humorous, rewarding, and frightening interviews with sports personalities. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, Linda Cohn became a diehard sports fan and a goalie on her high school (boys’) hockey team—setting the stage for college hockey stardom, when she was affectionately known as “Cohn-Head” by her teammates. She got her first break in sportscasting by covering a team she hated. She discusses the sexual tension all too present both in the workplace and the locker room, and her close encounters with the likes of Michael Jordan, Matthew McConaughey, and Jay-Z.Written with verve, Cohn-Head is a riveting read—a must for sports fans of both sexes, as well as anyone who seeks insight into how one woman made a man’s world her own. |

Let’s Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship $11.37 “I can still see her standing on the shore, a towel around her neck and a post-workout cigarette in hand—half Gidget and half Splendid Splinter, her rower’s arms in defiant contrast to the awful pink bathing suit she’d found somewhere.

The vivid word portrait that Caldwell lovingly constructs of her now deceased bosom buddy is more than a personal tribute; it is a celebration of friendship itself and a study in surviving loss.

Sports Paraphernalia $10.37 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Terrible Towel is a fan symbol associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL). Created in 1975 by then Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope, the Towel has since become “arguably the best-known fan symbol of any major pro sports team”. Since its invention, The Terrible Towel has spread in popularity; fans take their Towel to famous sites while on vacation. The Towel has been taken to the peak of Mount Everest, into space on the International Space Station and seen on Saturday Night Live. It is widely recognized as a symbol of the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh. Proceeds from sales of the Towel have raised over US$3 million for a Pennsylvania school which cares for people with mental retardation and physical disabilities. The Terrible Towel is credited with being the first “rally towel” and its success has given rise to similar products promoting other teams. Numerous versions have been produced; almost all are black and gold in color with the words “Myron Cope’s Official The Terrible Towel” printed on the front. In October 2009 a pink Terrible Towel was sold to promote Breast Cancer Awareness. Two weeks prior to the Steelers’ first playoff game of the 1975 season, the team’s flagship radio station WTAE’s Vice President and General Manager, Ted J. Atkins, and President of Sales, Larry Garrett, explained that they needed Cope’s assistance in inventing a “gimmick” in order to attract sponsors to his daily commentaries and talk show. Initially, Cope did not want to participate, saying “I am not a gimmick guy, never have been a gimmick guy.” However, after Garrett’s suggestion that a successful gimmick would be good leverage for a raise in Cope’s upcoming contract renewal, Cope re… More: |

Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-Distance Swimmer $11.99 Newly Illustrated with Photos and Maps Throughout (format to separate this phrase from copy)Here is the joyful, inspirational memoir of swimmer Lynne Cox. By age sixteen, she had broken all records for English Channel swims, so she set her goals even higher: She became the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, narrowly escaped a shark attack off the Cape of Good Hope, and was cheered across the twenty-mile Cook Strait of New Zealand by dolphins. Her daring eventually led her to the thirty-eight-degree waters of the Bering Strait, which she crossed in her usual outfit—just a swimsuit, cap, and goggles. She has even swum (LYNN – right verb??) a mile in the iceberg-choked waters of the Antarctic. With a poet’s eye for detail, Cox shares the beauty of her time in the water in this new classic of sports memoir.”[Cox has] done things the rest of us only imagine—and she’s written a book that helps us to imagine them with clarity and wonder.”—The Boston Globe”More than the story of the greatest open-water swimmer, Swimming to Antarctica is a portrait of rare and relentless drive. . . .Gripping.”—Sports Illustrated”A tale of remarkable physical prowess and heart.”—Vogue”Fetching and pitch-perfect . . . Full of perilous, preposterous-if-they-weren’t-true scenes.” – Outside Magazine”An instant classic of adventure writing.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune”The only things more impressive than her heroics are her magnanimous spirit and ability to bring people together.”—Miami Herald”Even a cursory read leaves one shivering for a warm towel.”—Entertainment Weekly”A triumph of a positive outlook, hefty preparation, and raw courage.”—The Economist”So compelling and immediate that even a non-swimmer can almost feel as if he’d been a participant.”—Philadelphia InquirerLYNNE COX has set records all over the world for open-water swimming.
