Jamaal Charles will be roasted by a number of celebrities at a June 13 event in his hometown of Port Arthur, Texas.
Among those roasting him will be Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, former Texas QB Vince Young, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and Seattle Seahawks DB Earl Thomas.
Bob West struck gold in my eyes, well burnt orange eyes if one wants to get technical about the situation. West landed Vince Young to replace Earl Campbell at the Port Arthur News Homecoming Roast of Jamaal Charles. Young, although not in the limelight these days, still is a huge name in Texas football lore. I met the former All-American Longhorns quarterback during the national title year after the Longhorns defeated Texas Tech in Austin. If you have never seen the guy in person, just wait until you get a look at how big of a man he really is. Tickets for the roast are still on sale. Call 409-984-6262 to attend the June 13 event.
No, I don't know if it will be televised. If it is, I will be sure to let you know. The MC for the event is former 610 Sports host Nick Wright, who is now in Houston radio.
While we're here, please come up with your best jokes for Andy Reid and co. to use on Jamaal.
