Every year, 99.9 percent of dudes wait until the very last minute to pull off their Halloween costume. If that’s you this year, we’ve got the hook-up. Here are 10 sports-inspired costumes for all you last minute trick or treaters. Oh, and if you can’t scoop a jersey or helmet or prop, get resourceful. Almost any concept can be pulled off with markers, paint, tape, cardboard, etc. Get resourceful. Hey, the cheesier it looks, the funnier the costume will be. Drum roll, please…

1. “I’m In, I’m Out” Brett Favre

I just switched from Spock to this costume when I came up with the idea. I went from “Live Long and Prosper” to “Live Long and Never F***ing Retire.” I like the move. It was wishy-washy, but now I’m sold. Very Favrian.

Here’s how to pull this look off. Get a cheap Favre Vikings jersey, throw it on over a flannel shirt (tucked in, of course — extra douchy) with some Wranglers and a khaki-color Nike cap. Maybe even a prescription medicine bottle that reads “pain pills” full of Tic Tacs (bars) or a football (party) for a prop. If  you really want to go the extra mile, grab some purple socks and some wrist bands and put them on over your clothes. If you are lucky enough to own a Vikes helmet, you can bypass the jersey and just wear that with a t-shirt, thermal and some Wranglers.  The key here is to look confused.

2. Pot Smokin’ Michael Phelps

This one is super easy. A speedo, goggles and a cap (optional), eight makeshift gold medals and a bong. If you are going to the bars, the bong should probably be a fake. If you’re going to a party, f*** it. This is guaranteed to be a huge hit. Whether you want to actually take a hit…well, that’s totally up to you.

3. Scowl-Face Kobe Bryant Mask

This is really pretty easy. As models/Lakers fans Flea and Holly Madison display, all you have to do is throw on a Lakers jersey over some clothes along with the Kobe mask. To make the mask, just print out this Kobe mask .png file on some poster board (FedEx will hook you up) and cut out the eyes. Then throw on a Lakers jersey over your clothes. As effortless as Kobe’s jumper, especially for Lakers fans.

4. Shot-In-The-Leg Plaxico Burress

This one would probably be No. 1 if it didn’t happen almost a year ago. But since there hasn’t been a Halloween since the incident, and since Plax went to jail this calendar year, we had to include this costume. This one is also pretty easy to achieve. Get yourself a Burress Giants jersey if you can fine one. It will be dirt cheap. Then get an old pair of sweatpants, a light one so the blood will show up. Splatter some fake blood on the sweats, sag ‘em a bit, get yourself a prop gun (nothing that looks too real, duh), and you are set. Oh, I almost forgot, you also have to act like an ignorant prick.

5. Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson (aka Bitch Tits and No Tits)

This narrowly edges out Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom for best sports couple costume set. And this is much easier to accomplish than a horse-faced chick with a Kardashian booty and a seven-foot eclectic weirdo that looks like Dhalsim from Street Fighter.

For A-Rod: Yankees jersey, gold chain, lots of hair gel and a scumbag sense of entitlement. If you want to go the extra mile, you can pack a syringe for a prop, or maybe even put “Bitch Tits” or “A-Fraud” on the back of the jersey.

For Kate: Just be blonde and hot, but in a cute way. Make sure you smile a lot. Definitely make sure you don’t have big boobs. Kate is hot, but she’s packing bee stings up top.

6. LeBron James Getting Dunked On

This is a two-man effort. One man needs to wear a Lebron Jersey, the other needs to wear a makeshift Jordan Crawford Xavier jersey. Tape a Nerf basketball bucket to the back of whoever is dressed up as LeBron, and letthe dude in the Xavier jersey continuously jam on him throughout the night. If you have four guys, the other two dudes can be the camera-phone cameraman and the overprotective Nike exec.

7. The Dirty (Mark) Sanchez

The sexual innuendo now becomes a sports punchline as well. Just dress up as Mark Sanchez in a Jets jersey and muddy yourself up. Make sure to curl your hair, bat your eyes and get the black paint under your eyes. Throwing five picks might help, too. Yes, you can use fake dirt. Do not use fecal matter, you sicko! We do not get behind the real Dirty Sanchez here at FanSided.

8. Manny “Roid Rage” Ramirez

The ideal way to do this is with an Ah-nold-style bodysuit, a blue doo-rag and dreds. You can also pull it off by complimenting the doo-rag and dreds with a Dodgers jersey and a shitload of syringes. You also have to use broken English and ham it up. Manny wouldn’t have it any other way.

9. Crybaby Larry Johnson

It’s ironic that L.J. is friends with Jigga, because he’s the NFL’s Kanye West. All you have to do to pull L.J. off is wear either a Chiefs helmet or shirt (preferably a shirt or jersey with No. 27 on it, even written on) and a pair of diapers. If you want to accessorize with ice, trucker hats, pink watches and camo pants, that’s cool, too. But to really pull off L.Jerk, you’ll need to act like the punk. Homophobic slurs, spitting drinks in girl’s faces, pouting on the sideline — all a big part of pulling off this character.

10. Shaquille O’Neal, aka The Big Pig

Shaq is in the news again for wanting to become a deputy officer in Ohio. What is it with this guy and wanting to be a freakin’ cop. Anyway, to be the Big Pig you’ll need to go blackface (unless you’re black…hey, Robert Downey Jr. got away with it), wear stilts, rock a cop uniform and give yourself like 1,000 nicknames. That’s 1,000 per hour. Stuffing a pillow in your shirt might help, too. Bad rapping? Only if you want to really be convincing.
