Last-Minute Halloween Costumes: How To Dress Like Your Favorite Sports Person

Many of you still haven’t decided on a Halloween costume, either because you are an adult or because you just can’t think of anything. If the latter is the case, a sure bet is to dress as your favorite athlete. I hope you find the following suggestions helpful!

Brian Wilson. Brian Wilson clearly has a fake beard; since it's a costume, you must wear either a fake fake beard or an actual beard. (A fake fake beard is either an actual beard or just no beard.)

Bobby Petrino. Bite into half of a fun size candy bar, put it back in the candy bowl, pick up a second fun size candy bar, kick over the homeowner's pumpkin, run away.

LeBron James. This one is a little tricky, as you’ll have to cut and seam a tablecloth into a button-down shirt. Bring a director’s chair, sit on the front lawn for an hour, then declare that you do not want any candy.

Cam Newton. Scramble around the front porch. Repeatedly act as though you’re going to run inside the house.
Vlad Guerrero. Bring a candy bag with a hole in it.
Candy Maldonado. Empty the homeowner’s candy bowl and sit in it.
A sportswriter. Say, “Trick.” Step two spaces to the side. Yell, “NEW PARAGRAPH.” Say, “Or treat.”
Tony Romo. Stay home and give out candy. Halfway through the evening, strike yourself in the clavicle with a crescent wrench.
