Best of luck to a Pittsburgh sports media legend. Ron was my colleague at The Pittsburgh Press and someone whose journalism I have respected for more than 40 years. https://t.co/fbuIQvmWy9
Good for @RonCookPG for getting out on his own terms with his sanity and his legacy intact. That is a massive W for all of us. And a lotta worse places in the world to be than SWFL. A lot worse. Congrats Ron! https://t.co/Mbaqtr6Uh1
There is no greater compliment one can receive in this business than the approval of those who have been doing the job for decades. I grew up reading Ron Cook. I grew up listening to Ron Cook. I'm pretty confident he wasn't a fan of me during my early days at the Post-Gazette,…
The job @JoeStarkey1 and @KDPomp are doing to honor the legendary @RonCookPG on the day he announced his retirement is incredible radio. If you haven’t, highly recommend visiting @937theFan to hear for yourself. Perfect celebration of sports media royalty around here.
As Ron Cook announces his retirement, almost everyone will mention his columns and radio opinions. And rightly so. He is a Pittsburgh media legend. That said, I’ll think of Ron equally for the love he has of his daughter. It is unyielding and he’s an exemplary father.

Congrats to @RonCookPG on his retirement. He’s the sign of a good opinion maker— whether you agreed or disagreed with Ron, he stuck to his guns. He didn’t waver. That says a lot. And if he was critical, he was always in the locker room. Ron never hides.
Congrats to the great @RonCookPG on his retirement. He’s a thoroughly good man and has played a huge role in Pittsburgh media for a long, long time. Things will not be the same.
As a kid growing up in Pittsburgh, I idolized @RonCookPG. Been ever better getting to know him over the years through work, travel and texting each other Seinfeld stuff. Congrats on your retirement and thank you for inspiring a whole bunch of us in this wacky business.
Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling is preparing to sign off for the last time as he gears up for retirement after 45 years with WGN and as a tribute, a Wrigleyville staple tipped its cap to the Chicago legend over the weekend. https://t.co/hqCIEwt6su
