Do you love sports, but you're having trouble coming up with a good sports-themed Halloween costume? Ladies, have you worn out your Sexy (Insert Noun Here) costume and you're looking for something a little more creative?

Never fear, that's why I'm here. If you need some ideas for your upcoming party, here are 15 Sports-Themed Halloween Costumes that are guaranteed to make you the hit of any party.

Brett Favre

MINNEAPOLIS - OCTOBER 05:  Quarterback Brett Favre #4 of the Minnesota Vikings watches the reply from the sidelines after a touchdown during the game against the Green Bay Packers on October 5, 2009 at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesot

This is no last-minute costume idea. It takes a little preparation.

You need to make sure you grow the appropriate amount of stubble beforehand and show up in your #4 jersey and Wrangler jeans.

But the way to really sell the costume is to RSVP "no" to the party as soon as you hear about it. Then "yes," then "no," then "yes" over and over again until nobody knows whether you're coming or not and gets annoyed every time someone brings it up.

Michael Phelps

ROME - JULY 29:  Michael Phelps of the United States prior to the Men's 200m Butterfly Final during the 13th FINA World Championships at the Stadio del Nuoto on July 29, 2009 in Rome, Italy.  Phelps broke the world record setting a new time of 1:51.51 sec

Swim cap, goggles, 14 gold medals, and, if you're brave enough, a Speedo will make for a great Michael Phelps costume.

Oh yeah, and make sure you bring a "fake" bong just to complete the look.

Lamar Odom

Show up in a Lakers jersey and pass out candy to everyone.

If you come alone, propose to every woman you see that night. Or if you have a date, make sure she comes complete with pillows in her pants and a false sense of importance.

Serena Williams

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 12:  Serena Williams argues a call by the line judge which led to her disqualification for a conduct violation during the Women's Singles Semifinal match against Kim Clijsters of Belgium on day thirteen of the 2009 U.S. Open at the US

Show up in a skin-tight dress with a racquet and a tennis ball and threaten to shove the ball down anyone's f***ing throat if they disagree with you about anything.

Michael Crabtree

Make sure that everyone knows you will not be attending the party. Threaten to stay home completely on Halloween.

Then show up in a Niners hat halfway through the party with your tail between your legs.

Tim Tebow

LEXINGTON, KY - SEPTEMBER 26: Quarterback Tim Tebow #15 of the Florida Gators is sacked by Taylor Wyndham #94 of the Kentucky Wildcats during the third quarter of the game at Commonwealth Stadium on September 26, 2009 in Lexington, Kentucky. (Photo by And

Before the game against Kentucky, millions of kids were going as Tim Tebow for Halloween without even knowing it. A Superman costume can double as a Tebow costume.

But since his concussion, show up with some armbands, stars or birds flying around your head, and googly eyes. Have a ridiculously short term memory, but do everything you can to convince everyone that you're fine.

Bill Belichick

FOXBORO, MA - OCTOBER 04:  Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots waits for play review in the second half against the Baltimore Ravens on October 4, 2009 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Patriots defeated the Ravens 27-21

This is an easy costume if you're willing to ruin a hoodie for it. Just cut the sleeves off, wear a headset around your neck and videotape the party from the corner of the room.

Don't smile all night. That would ruin the costume.

Stephon Marbury

For your Marbury costume, all you need to do is show up shirtless with a towel over your head, a wild look in your eye, and a jar of vasoline that you snack on throughout the night.*

*You can replace the Vasoline with jelly or something, unless you're really brave. Or legitimately crazy.

Erin Andrews

All you need is a blond wig, a microphone, and a clipboard and go around interviewing people at breaks during the party.

If you want to get particularly scandalous, have someone discreetly videotape you the whole night.

Al Davis

This one is easy. All you need is a Cryptkeeper mask and a Raiders jacket. During the night, make people trade offers that are horrendously not in your favor.

Pacman Jones

IRVING, TX - DECEMBER 20:  Adam Jones #21of the Dallas Cowboys looks on during their NFL game against the Baltimore Ravens at Texas Stadium on December 20, 2008 in Irving, Texas. The Ravens defeated the Cowboys 33-24. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Image

Come to the party with a giant entourage that surrounds you at all times and a bunch of Monopoly money so you can "make it rain" on women at the party.

You can put an "Unemployed" sign around your neck just to drive the point home if you feel the need.

Michael Jordan

SPRINGFIELD, MA - SEPTEMBER 11: Michael Jordan is inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame during a ceremony on September 11, 2009 in Springfield, Massachusetts. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading

Shave your head and have a cigar in your mouth and come as Michael Jordan.

Of course, to complete the outfit, go around the party challenging random people to competitions, then rub their face in it over and over once you beat them. If you can, have your friends follow behind you and explain, "That's just how he is."

Maria Sharapova

BEIJING - OCTOBER 06:  Maria Sharapova of Russia celebrates winning against Victoria Azarenka of Belarus in her first round match during day five of the 2009 China Open at the National Tennis Centre on October 6, 2009 in Beijing, China.  (Photo by Feng Li

Ladies, do you have a really cute summer dress that you never got a chance to wear, or want to wear again? You're in luck.

Just throw on a matching visor, tuck some tennis balls in your dress and you've got a legit Sharapova costume.

Mark Mangino

LAWRENCE, KS - SEPTEMBER 19:  Head coach Mark Mangino of the Kansas Jayhawks walk on the field before the game against the Duke Blue Devils on Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium on September 19, 2009 in Lawrence, Kansas. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images

Find or borrow as many parkas as you can and put them all on at the same time. People will think you came as the Michelin Man, but just put on a pair of shades and tell everyone that you're Mark Mangino.

LeBron James

CLEVELAND - MAY 28:  LeBron James #23 of the Cleveland Cavaliers looks on between plays against the Orlando Magic in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals during the 2009 Playoffs at Quicken Loans Arena on May 28, 2009 in Cleveland, Ohio. NOTE TO USE

Get a headband, arm sleeve, and basketball jersey. Then when anyone tries to shake your hand, walk away from them.

Also, if you see anyone at the party with a video camera (like Belichick or Andrews' Peeper), confiscate it and say that it's against the rules of the party to tape anything.
