Budda Baker of the Arizona Cardinals appeared for a media availability in a clown costume, according to a Fox News report on the appearance. The outlet described the outfit as a "creepy clown costume" and said Baker remained in it when he took questions from the media.

Fox News reported that the questions concerned trade rumors and the Cardinals' trade deadline, and that Baker fielded them while in full costume. The report's headline said the disguise included an evil clown Halloween mask, and its web address places the piece under the outkick-sports section.

Fox News's summary did not say in detail what Baker was asked or how he responded, and it did not report whether any trade was discussed, confirmed or denied. Those points are not addressed in the material available for this story.

No other outlet's account of the appearance was included in the material available for this story, so the description rests on the Fox News report alone. The report did not list a byline, and the summary provided did not name a reporter or any team official who spoke at the availability.

Because Fox News is the only source for these details, the account above reflects only what that report stated in its headline and summary. The report's wording is presented here as published, and the details have not been checked against other accounts.
