Amanda Balionis jokingly shares her Halloween disappointment after she went trick-or-treating in her black dress

Amanda Balionis celebrated Halloween on Thursday, October 31. The popular CBS Sports reporter shared pictures of her celebration with her more than 321,000 Instagram followers.

Balionis posted a video clip on her Instagram Stories in which she could be seen wearing the dress she was expecting to wear on Halloween, as well as the costume she actually wore.

"What I thought my Halloween would look like...What it turned into," Amanda Balionis captioned her stories post on Instagram.

According to the post, Balionis "expected" to wear a black dress with a hem above the knees and a skeleton drawn on the front. What she "actually" wore was an inflatable dog costume that covered her completely, including her face.

Balionis was accompanied by a friend and a child. Her friend was also dressed in an inflatable costume similar to the reporter's, while the child was wearing a suit with a collared shirt and tie.

Balionis is currently covering the National Football League (NFL) following the conclusion of the PGA Tour regular season. She was part of the broadcast team that covered last Sunday's game between the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.

The reporter joined CBS in 2017, initially on a part-time contract and only to cover golf. A year later, she was hired full-time and football was added to her duties.
