I know. I know. It's supposed to be a football blog. 
But it's May, it's Friday, I've just eaten an egg white omlette, and I'm saddened over the loss of actor/comedian Harvey Korman, whose wit and humor transcended the generations like few others.
My favorite Korman character was in a Mel Brooks movie I've seen perhaps a dozen times: Blazing Saddles.
Korman played a conniving politician named Heddy Lamar, and was continually referenced as Heddy Lamarr, the Austrian born actress.
"It's Hedley," he would say.
Great movie.
Great actor.
Great comedian.
He will be missed.
... ok, there is football business to take care of. There are OTAs and mini-camps and impending holdouts and contract signings.

"What the hell are you worried about, it's 1874!! You'll be able to sue her!!!"
"Gentleman, please rest you sphincters!!!"
"Shut up, you Teutonic twat!!!"
(Hmm....I wonder if they'll let me post that on the Final Score?)
Not to mention watching try to not lose it in his Carol Burnett sketches with Tim Conway.
And to give this a sports twist:
From Blazing Saddles:
Hedley Lamarr: There might be legal precedent! Of course, landsnatching...
Hedley Lamarr: [flipping through a law book] land, land...”Land: see Snatch." Ah, Hailie vs. United States. Hailie: 7, United States: nothing. You see, it can be done!
