I don't think so. Myron lived life hard with a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other. That he made it to 78 is a minor miracle in itself. I saw him on TV a year ago and both my wife and I thought he was sounding quite "off". A lot of weezing and coughing.
He was a truly unique character who has been sorely missed since he stepped away from the booth. He's missed even more today.

Whenever I heard Myron he reminded me of Johnny Most. I can asure you it was a big loss when he finally went up here. Sorry Steeler Fan. Have a drink for Myron tonight....
