That was neat for about 5 minutes when we heard it 7 years ago on The League. It got old fast.

Now, after all those years, Rich Eisen (who I like) started saying it on his show talking with the crew about their FF league. So the NFL announcing crew and all the ESPN/NFL 24 hour talk shows are on it.

Good one. I think it's a combination of laziness and over-protective parents not wanting little Billy walking the streets in the dark.

Holy ####. Never heard of that, did this just come about in the last year or so?

So Mormons use a kid's celebration of Satan to get candy as a business mixer????

I guess so kids get more candy?

My daughter's school does it. I don't think most schools "celebrate" Halloween any more, where the kids come to school in their costumes. The trunk or treat gives the kids to see their classmates in costume. I'm just guessing this is the point.

Not sure it's really something to get fired up about.
