[edit] Terrible Towel creator

The actual idea came from a man named Larry Garret, also in radio in Pittsburgh with Myron Cope. It was Myron who made it famous and made it a Steeler icon. Mr. Cope has given credit to Larry Garret on various occassions.

According to Cope's book, Double Yoi!, Garret did suggest the idea of using a towel, however it was Cope that came up with the phrase "Terrible Towel", and the idea that they should be yellow towels.Blackngold29 (talk) 01:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality Dispute

There is a neutrality dispute of the related sports phenomena section. Why is this so? If it is noted what is disputed I am sure that it could be quickly fixed. Also, is this section really necessary to the article? Thank You. Blackngold29 (talk) 01:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the section, as it did not contribute to the topic. That should end the dispute, as well. Blackngold29 (talk) 03:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
