In Wednesday's Hot Clicks, we look at the best and worst athlete Halloween costumes. Plus a look at the lovely Jamie Leigh Thornton.
Grading NBA players Halloween costumes
Another Halloween has come and gone. Many NBA players dressed up for the occasion. My friend Jeremy Woo ranked these costumes and I dont know what Kelly Oubre (pictured above) is supposed to be. While we're talking Halloween, here's a collection of every celeb's costume and Tom Brady's avocado toast getup.
There will be a Game 7
The Dodgers forced a Game 7 with a 3-1 victory over the Astros. Justin Verlander (who Kate Upton helped lure to the Astros, FYI) lost his first playoff game of 2017. Some other highlights: Rich Hill made sure Yuli Gurriel got booed by the home crowd ... Gambling is never smart (unless you're this Dodgers fan) ... This fan should be embarrassed ... Safe to say Clayton Kershaw is ready for tonight's game ... Tommy Lasorda had a great quote for Dave Roberts about Game 7.
LOL Browns
There's only one NFL team that can make a good trade, then totally screw up the paperwork. And of course, Twitter had jokes.






















Jamie Leigh Thornton is a recent Kentucky grad and future Hollywood star (if all goes according to plan). She is today's LLOD (click for full-size gallery).
A-Rod is creepy
I don't care if J-Lo fell for the "text from the bathroom" trick, it's super creepy.
My vote for best Halloween costume
Kudos to everyone involved with this 'distracted boyfriend meme' costume.

Five of these are in NYC, and I've been to none of them.
It's not easy to be this wrong
Here's hoping that @davidortiz doesn't pick your team to win Game 7... pic.twitter.com/BqD95hxMDn

Sports Illustrated will look really good if Houston wins tonight
Why did SI predict the Astros would win the 2017 World Series in 2014? https://t.co/70O0oVSj0a

Odds & Ends
The NFL has gotten boring but Andrew Perloff has some rule changes that can fix that problem ... Winners and losers from the crazy NFL trade deadline ... One of our readers dressed like the Astros fan who threw the ball back ... The Cavs had a big team meeting to figure out why they're so bad right now ... The biggest winners from the first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings ... Everyone was fooled by this fake Adam Schefter Twitter account ... Michael Jackson is the top-earning dead celebrity for the fifth straight year ... This couple and their levitating Star Wars bike had a fun Halloween ... Jeremy Piven is the latest actor to be accused of sexual misconduct.

I disagree with Mike Leach's candy corn stance
