Fritz's World

An exciting and awe-inspiring glimpse into my life: movie reviews (which are replete with spoilers), Penn State football, Washington Nationals, and life here in the nation's capital. Can you handle it?

Were Mel Brooks and Jack Kent Cooke in cahoots?

Being a Mel Brooks fan, I noticed something recently while listening to the radio: the fight song for the Washington Redskins is similar to the theme song for Blazing Saddles! It's very subtle, but unmistakable! Compare, if you will.

No, Hail to the Redskins was written in about 1937, by Mrs. George Preston Marshall I believe.
