The Best Halloween Costumes From Your Favorite Athletes

They’re in it to win it.

These athletes bring their A-game in their respective sports but also when it comes to Halloween costumes.

LeBron James as Edward Scissorhands

Even before he had access to some of the world’s best makeup artists in Los Angeles, King James brought it on Halloween. In addition to Edward Scissorhands, he’s been hockey-mask wearing Jason and scary clown, Pennywise.

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union

The power couple dressed up as the notorious lip-syncing Grammy award-winning duo Milli Vanilli. (The actual duo was stripped of their Grammy).

She posted a Twitter video of the two in costume titled “lost rehearsal footage of Milli Vanilli.”

Dwayne Johnson as Popeye

“The Rock” dressing up as Popeye seems like a no-brainer. Our favorite costume involving Dwayne Johnson might be when his “Jumanji” co-star Kevin Hart dressed up in the now famous 90s look of Johnson in a black turtleneck, gold chain, jeans and a fanny pack.

Tom Brady as a Stormtrooper

While he may follow a strict diet, Tom Brady doesn’t limit his fun when it comes to Halloween costumes. He has dressed up as avocado toast (a couples costume with his wife Gisele) and Bigfoot.

Russell Wilson and Ciara as Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson

The duo loves to channel musicians for Halloween. Their Jay-Z and Beyonce costumes (above) were clutch but they really went all out with the 90s favorites Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson. We don’t know about Wilson but Ciara certainly has the voice to go along with the costume.

Now What?

Olympic wrap-up, there’s a dance party in Toronto and hall of fame speeches that’ll inspire you this morning.

Now that the Olympics are over guess it’s time to binge-watch “Mare of Eastown” or one of the 20 other shows everyone is talking about.

So many choices, so little time,

The Last Night’s Game Team

Olympics

The last weekend of the Summer Olympics wrapped up with a few huge wins for Team USA, which finished one gold medal ahead of second-place China in the medal count. Adding to that Team USA tally were the women’s basketball team (their seventh straight gold medal), men’s basketball team (fourth consecutive gold) and women’s volleyball (first gold ever). Also, for the first time, 93 Olympic organizing committees won a medal - the most to ever win a medal at a single Olympic Games. SEE YOU IN PARIS

Overtime

The NFL (National Football League) Hall of Fame speeches are always inspirational, and this weekend’s induction lived up to the hype. We had high hopes for Peyton Manning’s speech. After all, he has been the host of “Saturday Night Live.” He had the audience laughing especially as he took a jab or two at his longtime rival Tom Brady, who attended the ceremony as Manning’s guest.

The thought-provoking speech came from former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, 78, who talked about QTL – quality time left. "Think about that," Johnson said. "I'm 78 years old and I think about QTL all the time." BE IN THE MOMENT

Sideline stat

Arguably the world’s best soccer player, Lionel Messi, is moving on. During an emotional press conference, he said farewell to his team, FC Barcelona, that he had played for since he signed with them at age 13. (He’s 34-years-old). Messi is leaving because of team financial constraints and has agreed to a two-year deal with PSG (Paris Saint-Germain). PASS THE TISSUES

Coaches’ corner

The Toronto Blue Jays (MLB – Major League Baseball) finally returned to their home stadium after being banned from traveling across the border all season due to COVID protocols. (They split their time between Buffalo and Florida). It's clear they like being home, judging by the dance party that ensues after each home win. The clubhouse turns into a club, complete with strobe lights. RAVING JAYS

5 Reasons Why "The Match: Champions For Charity" Is Must See TV

Pants not required. No, seriously.

The matchup between four of the greatest players in their sport is happening this weekend which means your world is about to get rocked.

It’s about time,

The Last Night’s Game Team

1. Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning will team up against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in “The Match: Champions for Charity” on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. The goal is of course to raise money for COVID relief efforts and the players have contributed $10 million total to four charities - DirectRelief.org, the American Red Cross, Save Small Business and the All-In Challenge. There will also be on-course challenges for the players to raise additional charitable funds. A HELPING HAND

2. Things are going to be getting a little wild at the Medalist Golf Club, Tiger Woods’ home course, as the players are allowed to wear shorts (a big no-no in the PGA – Professional Golfers Association). You might remember Phil Mickelson’s calves nearly broke the internet in a previous tournament. Speaking of chatter, the players will be mic’d up so you’ll have a front row seat to the trash talking, which has already started. BARING IT ALL

3. As if shorts weren’t spicy enough, NBA (National Basketball Association) Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and one of the top golfers in the world, Justin Thomas, will be providing commentary for the match. Barkley is known for his terrible golf swing, so his critique of the match should be top notch. BRINGING IN THE BIG GUNS

4. If this setup looks familiar, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson played each other back in 2018 with Mickelson taking home the $9 million prize. Not to be outdone, Manning and Brady have hit the links together and Manning said, “The last time we played, we got beat by an 84-year-old and a 77-year old." WELL THIS COULD BE ENTERTAINING

5. Due to social distancing, players will have to carry their own clubs and the teammates will act as each other’s caddy, talking through each shot on the course. In case you’re wondering, Manning has a better handicap (6.4 handicap) than Brady (8.1 handicap). Brady joked since Manning is retired he should have a better handicap. TOUCHÉ

(For the record, the lower the handicap the better the golfer. To have a single digit handicap means you’re darn good. To get technical on you, a handicap is a way to level the playing field. It’s an average of golf scores to determine how many shots players are over par. For more golf lingo and further explanation, click here).
