Where have you gone, Beano Cook

What's that you say Ray Fittapaldo? Carroll Cook has left and and gone away.

Beano was the most hated reporter in Happy Valley.

Unfortunately, guys like Beano, Myron, and sooner than later - Billy H - are dinosaurs.

Everyone wants to be the sportscasters version of a "shock jock".

Loved that man. What a dry sense of humor. He had one of the quotes of the century when the Iran hostages were released in '81 after 444 days in captivity. Beano didn't care for baseball and when it was announced that MLB was giving every ex hostage a lifetime pass to any major league game anywhere he promptly quipped, "Haven't they suffered enough"?

Ray Fittapaldo got blasted by #PittTwitter yesterday, then he tried to spin what he said another way....What a piece of shit

Beano was a great. Myron, Beano and others have been great sportscasters and writers from Pitt.

A lady called him when he was SID and asked for the phone numbers of every player. He asked why. She said she was going to bang the whole roster. He said 'In that case you can start with Cook, Beano.' Pretty funny.

Madden said Beano would use his press credentials at every game in town just for the food, said he'd go to the press buffet at Steelers games, fill a plate with nothing but bacon, then leave.

LOL. Too funny. I can hear Beano saying those words.
