Halloween: Toronto sports edition
ANDREW CYR
Sports Editor
I would have said sexy firefighter, but there is
nothing sexy about this mess.
Halloween is just around the corner and with
it comes another Osgoode Hall Athletics Association Halloween pub night and the opportunity to be whatever you want to be for just
one night. Whether that happens to be a sexy
bumblebee or flirty nurse is your call. While
it’s easy for a female to dress as a “sexy” version
of just about anything, there is a lot of pressure
on dudes to come up with something creative or
humorous in order to stand out from the crowd.
Toronto Maple Leafs – Hangman
Nothing would be more suiting for the Leafs
than the Hangman, given how they choked
in the playoffs last year. Unfortunately it was
their own execution that they were orchestrating with their sloppy play in the 3rd period of
Game 7 of last year’s series against the Bruins.
This got me to thinking – what if Toronto’s
local sports teams were to go out for Halloween? I’ve come up with costumes that would be
fitting of each of the Jays, Leafs, Raptors, and
Argonauts that are sure to make you feel better
about your own get-up this year.
Toronto Raptors – Bigfoot
Toronto Blue Jays – Firefighter
Toronto Argonauts – Ghosts
The Jays 2013 season can really only be aptly
described with one phrase – crash and burn.
That’s why a firefighter costume would be
appropriate, as they try to put out the flames
and recover whatever they can from the smoldering ashes for next year.
Like ghosts, there is considerable debate as to
whether the Toronto Argonauts truly exist.
Did you know that the Argos won the Grey
Cup last year, or that they lead their division
this year? Of course not. Just like the rest of
Toronto.

The Raptors would be perfectly comfortable
masquerading as Bigfoot. They are after all,
a bunch of gentle giants who are used to not
being seen.
HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE A BET TER
HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEA THAN
THIS.
