Sports Halloween costumes are hard to do (unless you’re Baby Mangino). Going as your favorite player just entails wearing a uniform, which thousands of people do every day at games. Sure, you could throw on a Mike Vick uniform and carry around a stuffed dog, or a Jay Cutler uniform and go into diabetic shock every few minutes, but there’s not much creativity involved. Obviously the best thing to do is combine sports with slutty [noun], the choice costume of college girls worldwide. But how to do it?
Courtesy of our friends at DEADSPIN comes the Erin Andrews Halloween costume, which, if anything, proves that pretty blonde UF coeds are a dime a dozen. Honestly, I’ll take the Indian American Gladiator.
I’m not quite sure why, but this costume is missing something. Obviously, Ms. Andrews doesn’t strut around in Florida gear or stripper heels, but I’m willing to let that go just this once.
The dog on the couch leering at her backside does add to the authenticity of the outfit, as half the stadium usually has their eyes on the sideline when prowled by Ms. Andrews.
No, the je ne sais quoi that is missing from this costume is something more substantial, and je pense que je sais what it is: while our comely trick-or-treater may have more under the hood than the real item, what makes Erin Andrews Erin Andrews is what’s in the trunk:

Go ahead and take the Gladiator. More Erin for me!

Any ladies showing up at my door in an Erin Andrews get-up would get plenty of treats from me.

Lucky dog.

Having Erin Andrews show up at your door is a treat unto itself.

This girl's a genius. Nice legs, too.

Well done.

Which is a damn shame.

Anybody got a dime?

Bet she really cleaned up on the trick or treating, even getting some phone numbers thrown in with the Snickers and Blow Pops.

It's kind of funny that the Erin Andrews girl appears more muscular than the American Gladiator girl.

An Erin Andrews-American Gladiatorette sandwich wouldn't be bad, either.

It's good to get behind the story, especially anything involving Erin Andrews' behind.

The Jay Cutler comment was bit of a low blow.

Where's the Kirk Herbstreit costume?

A Lee Corso costume would only require a straightjacket and foaming at the mouth.
