Former NFL players Brian Bosworth, Michael Irvin and Bill Romanowski have signed on for parts in Paramount/Sony's remake of The Longest Yard, starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, James Cromwell and Burt Reynolds.

Variety says the trio will be cast in the same positions they played while pro players. Bosworth and Romanowski will be linebackers on the team of prison guards while Irvin will play a wide receiver on the team of convicts.

Sandler persuaded Dallas Cowboys star Irvin to take the part after the actor demonstrated his athletic chops against Irvin in a one-on-one basketball game.

THE BOZ IS BACK! IN POG FORM!

Now all this movie needs is Craig T. Nelson.

This isn't serious, is it?

They actually got Boz, Romo, and Irvin to act as criminals who play football?

But how ever will they pull off such a stretch in their first acting gigs?

THE BOZ!

The Boz has already had an acting gig. Funny thing is that you could make a case that he's the one for which it'll be the biggest stretch

A bust, a crackhead and a psycopath. Wonderful. The karma on this movie is in the pits already. Romo alone is enough to make me puke.

I have a copy of the Boz in his motorcycle gang movie somewhere. I keep it so I can make fun of my sooner friend

This movie needs Bo Jackson so he can embarass the shit out of the Boz, AGAIN.
