Sports fans’ can’t miss Halloween costumes
Halloween is today and, chances are, you still do not have a costume.
Don’t worry – I’ve come up with some can’t-miss costumes for your average sports fan.
These are easy to do and guarantee you’ll have a good time.
Rex Grossman: This is for the Bear’s fans who wants to wear their Grossman jerseys for one last time before he’s starting for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League next season.
All you need is a clipboard, a Chicago Bears sideline hat and a sign that says “Will Quarterback for Food.”
Marcus Vick: While Michael Vick was a popular costume this weekend, everyone has forgotten about Marcus. Before Michael Vick was controlling America’s pet population, Marcus was the one all over the police blotter for showing off his gun in a McDonald’s parking lot. So find a No. 3 Virginia Tech jersey and a do-rag and represent the less popular Vick.
Joe Buck’s forehead: This is for people looking for a group costume. Anyone who watched the MLB baseball playoffs or NFL football on FOX Network knows this famous announcer’s forehead is so big, it could double as a movie screen. All you need are two people and a tan sheet because that is the actual size of his forehead. Wrinkles in the sheet are encouraged.
Brandi Chastain: After the disaster that was women’s World Cup soccer this year, we should remember happier times by honoring the hero of the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup. This is a simple costume: All that is needed is a black sports bra, a pair of soccer shorts and some black soccer spikes.
Alex Rodriguez: The free agent shortstop is all over the news after announcing he would opt out of his $252 million, 10-year contract with the New York Yankees on Monday. His agent Scott Boras made the announcement during game four of the World Series. All that is needed is some hair gel, a spray-on tan and a shirt and hat with a money sign on it.
Adam Morrison: If a scary costume is what you’re searching for, look no further than this former Gonzaga star and current Charlotte Bobcats forward. This costume is guaranteed to scare whomever you cross on Lincoln. Morrison is on the NBA all-ugly team and is known for his terrible mustache. You’ll need a fake mustache and mop-top black wig to have the scariest costume on campus.
If these options are unappealing, just go with the cop-out costume.
Cut two holes in a sheet and go as a ghost.
Happy Halloween.
