We often see some pretty interesting ESPN Halloween costumes, and that continued this year. One of the best came on their college football coverage of West Virginia-Baylor, where Adam Amin, Matt Hasselbeck and Pat McAfee dressed up as characters from 2004’s Anchorman, with McAfee even letting out a full Champ Kind “Whammy!” during the introductions:
Earlier in the day, one of the best studio show gimmicks came from High Noon‘s Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre, who dressed as Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon from Pardon The Interruption:

Those are some pretty creative costumes. Well played by the ESPN employees involved.
