Photos: PGA Tour pros celebrate Halloween as Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Bob Ross and more

What a great day for the players and their families.

Tuesday was Halloween and plenty of PGA Tour professionals celebrated with their families, and had some pretty good costumes to boot.

Max Homa, dressing up with his son, Cam, for the very first time, wore NASA gear while Cam wore an astronaut costume.

Tony Finau and the whole Finau clan were Power Rangers, while Adam Hadwin and his wife, Jessica, may have had the best costumes of the day. Jessica dressed up as Adam, while the Tour pro was dressed as the security guard that tackled him after fellow Canadian Nick Taylor won the RBC Canadian Open.

WATCH: K.C. Wolf gets into the Halloween spirit, scares fans

#Chiefs mascot K.C. Wolf had a ball scaring fans to get in the Halloween spirit.

The Kansas City Chiefs are known for having one of the zaniest mascots in the NFL, and on a week of a highly anticipated international road trip, the team’s beloved canid had some fun scaring fans to celebrate Halloween.

In a video posted to the Chiefs’ official Twitter account, K.C. Wolf can be seen having the time of his life injecting a little spookiness into his surroundings.

While the Halloween holiday may be over, the levity provided by this one-of-a-kind canine is sure to stick with fans for months to come. The patience necessary to execute this outstanding gag is an underrated part of K.C. Wolf’s game, and his googly eyes really hammer home the bizarre nature of any interaction he has with the general public.

Expect the Æðelwulf (noble wolf) to be a fixture of the holiday season as the Chiefs prepare for the most challenging part of their 2023 schedule, starting with their Week 9 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Germany on Sunday.

Post-Halloween, this might be your best chance to help the environment

Everybody, do your share.

Halloween night brings out all kinds of crowds, from candy-crazed kids to costumed partygoers. On this festive evening of spooky celebration, everyone is focused on having fun, seeking out scares, and maybe causing a little mischief. But just like Cinderella’s carriage had to turn back into a pumpkin at midnight, Halloween fun can’t last forever. And when you wake up on November 1, the sights that await you aren’t always pretty.

After trick-or-treating ends, you’ll probably notice more than a few candy wrappers and abandoned costume pieces littering your neighborhood. For outdoors appreciators and eco-conscious citizens, seeing all of this trash lying in the grass and on the roads can be more distressing than a horror movie. Unlike the problems faced by most scary movie protagonists, there is a simple solution to this litter conundrum. Host or join a post-Halloween clean-up event!

What is a post-Halloween clean-up event? As the name implies, it’s an opportunity for communities to get together after Halloween and pick up any litter in their neighborhood. This can be as easy as getting your family together to pick up trash along the street or joining a community clean-up activity. Check local Facebook groups, community pages, and Eventbrite listings to see if there are any existing events you can support.

If there are no clean-up initiatives in your region, consider starting one. Sometimes, all it takes is one person leading the charge for people to join in. You can even go above and beyond by offering a jack-o’-lantern recycling service. Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy came up with an excellent list of ways to recycle these unwanted pumpkins. Options include donating them to local farms and zoos for the animals or dropping them off at a community composting center.

Mike McDaniel hilariously could not accept that kids were dressing up as him for Halloween

Easily the funniest coach in the NFL.

When it comes to NFL-themed Halloween costumes this year, we can expect to see a lot of people dressing up as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. But in Miami, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is proving to be a popular option.

McDaniel himself could not believe it.

A day after a video went viral showing a young Dolphins fan dressed up as McDaniel and recreating the head coach’s hilarious sprint away from the NBC cameras, McDaniel was asked for his thoughts on kids dressing up as him. Reporters also wanted to know what goes into the perfect Mike McDaniel costume.

And in true McDaniel fashion, he was taken aback that he could even be a Halloween costume.

“Was I faster than the kid?” He always asks the important questions.

McDaniel’s reaction was great, and he found a way to give credit to his own players for his popularity amongst young fans. After all, if the team wasn’t playing well, you wouldn’t see kids dress up as the head coach. He simply refused to believe that it was true, and reporters offered to show him the video.

That’s when you know you’ve truly made it.

Fans loved McDaniel’s reaction as well.

Here’s a roundup of the best looks you need to see:

WATCH: Commanders dress up for Halloween charity event

Commanders’ players dress up for Halloween event for local kids.

It may be a tumultuous time on the field for the Washington Commanders currently, but the team, specifically several of the players, are still doing outstanding work off the field.

The Commanders were off on Monday, which made it the perfect day for quarterback Jacoby Brissett to host his annual “Halloween Fashion Show,” one day ahead of Halloween. The event was held in Ashburn inside Washington’s practice bubble, where Brissett and the Commanders hosted 50 patients and their families from Children’s National Hospital.

Multiple Commanders joined Brissett, including starting quarterback Sam Howell, running backs Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson, offensive tackle Charles Leno Jr. and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste. Those were some of the Washington players who dressed up and had fun with the kids.

Check it out, courtesy of Scott Abraham of ABC 7 in Washington.

It’s always good to see players doing things like this for the community, specifically the kids.

And the players seemed to really enjoy it, with Howell dressed as an astronaut, Brissett a pirate, Gibson as a Dalmatian, and Robinson as Superman.

Great stuff, guys.

Watch these goofy bears join in on the Halloween fun

These videos are a real treat.

It’s no secret that people love bears. We watch bears compete in Fat Bear Week, kids cling to teddy bears, and there are sports teams named after this awesome animal. This Halloween, there are even more reasons to celebrate cute bears. Two recent videos from North Carolina and New York are showing the world how these critters are getting into the holiday spirit.

The first delightful video comes from the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville, New York. A recent clip shows three of the center’s orphaned bears celebrating pumpkin season by tearing into some plump orange gourds. The bears, named Amy, Jenny, and Sonya, can be seen putting their powerful claws and teeth to use to shred the pumpkins. See it for yourself here.

On the other end of the East Coast, a set of curious and adorable bears in Asheville, North Carolina, were spotted investigating a resident’s Halloween decorations. This trio seemed most interested in the nearby water dish, though. After poking around at the spooky decorations and lapping up some water, the three cubs wandered back into the woods. So long, cute bears! Let’s hope you join us again next year for more Halloween fun.
