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.


Now that he's not chasing around Barry Bonds, ESPN reporter Pedro Gomez has some extra time on his hands. Time that he's spent watching American Idol re-runs. So his initial choice of attending a Halloween party as Paula Abdul was no surprise...for some reason he scrapped that plan and dressed up as former Idol winner, Taylor Hicks.

The Raptors' Hedo Turkoglu dressed up as everyone's favorite loser, Bud Bundy.

Marshawn Lynch's Halloween costume was so easy that... well... HE could do it. Marshawn Lynch as the Gieco Caveman.

ESPN's John Clayton has a TON of options for dressing up: he could go as The Simpsons' Montgomery Burns... or Stewie Griffin from Family Guy... or South Park's Mr Mackey.

Yabbabdabba-Dallas! Mavs owner Mark Cuban will be masquerading as Fred Flintstone this Halloween.

I loved him as the manager of the Chicago Cubs, but this Halloween people will love Don Zimmer as Mr. Magoo.

Former Atlanta Brave Otis Nixon is going as a shrunken head.

Raiders owner and nutcase Al Davis, surprisingly still alive, is dressing up this year - and every day - as the Crypt Keeper.

Josh Hamilton will be "partying" as one of the characters from Trainspotting.

I'll be at Shboom'shbooms: Former Phillies great Pete Incaviligia will wear a Kenny Powers costume this weekend.

We all know that women use the Halloween holiday to dress promiscuously; there will be tons of 'everyday' get-ups out there at your Halloween party deemed "costume-worthy" by simply putting the word "slutty" in from of them. For example: slutty cop, slutty fireman, slutty [insert word here]... That's why ESPN's Rachel Nichols going as a slutty reporter.
