Even if they're elite in their sports, there are some athletes that are just plain fat. Halloween means it's time for them to begin eating candy all the time. It's hard to imagine these guys getting any fatter. Hopefully they cut down on the sweets this season.

Foreman was very overweight near the end of his career, but he was still pretty dominant. Even though some kids might be dressing up as him this Halloween, he shouldn't be eating too many sweets this year.

Curry actually had a heart condition that helped put him up over 300 pounds at one point. He lost a bunch of weight since then, so hopefully he learned his lesson and doesn't eat too much candy on Halloween.

Bettis was called the Bus during his playing days for a reason. He was absolutely huge and not all of that was fat. Now that he's retired, he could be loading up on the sweets this October.

While he's not fumbling over words on baseball telecasts, Kruk is likely scarfing down candy like it's his day job. It's going to be hard for people to convince him not to eat all the Halloween candy this year.

Most defensive tackles in the NFL are pretty fat, but Casey Hampton gives that a whole new meeting. There's no doubt he'll be out looking for some free candy this year during Halloween.

Fielder sat out most of this season with an injury, so he had plenty of time to eat all the sweets he wanted. Now it's the offseason so the Rangers' slugger could really dig into some candy.

Kung Fu Panda seems to have quite the appetite based on his hefty frame. That hasn't kept him from eating as much as he wants and that's likely to include some candy this Halloween.

Ortiz is one of the best postseason hitters in baseball history, but he's getting a little fat now. His career is nearing its end so maybe he will treat himself to some candy this Halloween.

Shaq is such an upbeat guy and he's also gigantic. He's likely to scare you on Halloween with his towering size, but if you give him some candy, perhaps he will back off.

Barkley is one of the more entertaining personalities in sports and is known as a lovable chubby guy. He's ballooned since his playing career ended and that surely has been due in part to his Halloween candy eating habits.

Daly has been a fixture on the PGA Tour for a while, but he's not exactly in shape. That can only lead us to believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving are his favorite holidays from the year.

Sabathia is a beast on the mound, but he's barely ever on that mound anymore. While he's injured, he has plenty of time to eat as much sugar as he wants. While he recovers from injury, the sugar from Halloween candy may make him feel a bit better.

You better hope that Suh doesn't come to your house this Halloween. There's a good chance he will cheap shot you, grab all your candy and eat it all before you even know what hit you.

The big man out of LSU didn't earn his nickname of "Big Baby" for nothing. He's a presence down low because he's a huge guy. With some Halloween candy in him, maybe he will be even bigger this season.

Wilfork has to be the fattest current professional athlete. He's actually pretty athletic for his size, but he's absolutely enormous. The run stuffer can fill up on sweets on Halloween so that he's even more solid up the middle for the rest of the season.
