Boo!

 Today is All Hallow's Eve, popularly known as Halloween, which means tonight tiny "Frozen" princesses and Spider-Men will be coming to extort candy from law-abiding citizens like yourselves.

Naw, I'm kidding. I love Halloween. Love the kids. Love handing out the candy so long as the little goobers don't take it all.

* Aaron Rodgers showing up at former Jets head coach Robert Saleh's door dressed as Aaron Rodgers. Trick or treat, mother(bleeper)!

* A kid in a Washington Commanders jersey showing up at the Chicago Bears complex with video of Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary on continuous playback.

* A kid in a Freddie Freeman jersey showing up at the New York Yankees complex with video of last night's fifth inning on continuous playback.

* Six tiny Caitlin Clarks showing up at Angel Reese's door.

* Six tiny Angel Reeses showing up at Caitlin Clark's door.

* A miniature trans athlete showing up at the door of any number of fear-mongering politicians.

* A kid dressed as the transfer portal showing up at the door of any number of college football and basketball coaches.

And last but not least ...

* A couple of tykes dressed as the Kelce brothers, and another dressed as Patrick Mahomes, demanding you buy more Reese's Puffs and Subway and State Farm and T-Mobile and ...
