Monster Mash: Part One
Sport figures ready their Halloween costumes
With Halloween upon us, I'll bet you're busy thinking about what kind of costume to wear. Well, I've done a little bit of homework as to what some of our favorite (and not-so favorite) figures in the world of sports are dressing up as... maybe you'll find some inspiration.
Me? I'm going as Bob Ross.
Dan Hawkins (the University of Colorado Football coach, not the guitarist for The Darkness) is going as Family Guy's Chris Griffin... the only unrealistic thing about this costume is that Hawkins is probably not smart enough to convince anyone that he's actually Griffin.
Notre QB Jimmy Claussen is trick-or-treating in South Bend as Beavis... maybe Charlie Weiss can be Butthead.
If that doesn't work, Jimmy can go as an ostrich.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Coach Pini Gershon, who was ejected from a pre-season game against the Knicks, could make some waves back home as Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain.
One is a quirky Grecian, the other an out of control Argentinian... close enough, right? Manu Ginobli will hit San Antonio Saturday night as Balki Bartokomous from 'Perfect Strangers.'
He probably still gets carded in the Bay Area, but he'd be revered in Vegas with his costume: Steph Curry steals Tiger Woods' go-to costume and goes trick-or-treating as poker stud Phil Ivey.
That creep can roll: Former MLB journeyman catcher Benito Santiago won't be able to trick-or-treat within 50 yards of an elementary school with his costume - The Jesus from 'The Big Lebowski.'
Nope, that's not Dusty Bottoms, it's Atlanta Falcon's head coach, Mike Smith in his costume as Lucky Day of 'The Three Amigos.'
On the field, Vikings defensive end Jared Allen attacks bad human beings like Jay Cutler, but on All Hallow's Eve he'll dress up like he's attacking bad human beings like 'Cyrus the Virus' in his Cameron Poe ('Con-Air') outfit.
The hair... the 'stache... the essence. All Stan Van Gundy needs to do for his Ron Jeremy costume is lose his clothes.
Baseball's "Iron Man" is going as Jerry Springer's "Iron Man" when Cal Ripken Jr. roams the streets of Baltimore as Steve Wilkos. *A side note: if you haven't seen Steve Wilkos' talk show, do yourself a favor and stay home from work to do so. It IS possible to get worse than Springer.
Mel "Hair" Kiper Jr. ranked his Joey Buttafucco costume as the number one prospect at the "statutory-rape-and-wife-shooting" position.
Jeremy Schaap wins this year's "You Have No Taste" Award, dressing up as Eric Menendez.
