Funniest Athlete of 2008 : Speakers & Interviews

That talk show was great, especially the hooker bit

Jamo is the bomb-diggity!

Abdi Abdirahman should of been the the funniest person of the year, who the hell is this , Steve hooker

and this has to get some love too....it gave me a good chuckle. thanks twill!

Thanks Mark. I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and both make an attempt at attaching a video and sharing this Youtube video that I found on Will Leer awhile back. Any fans of Will out there would definitely want to check this out if they haven't yet seen it.

Next time add the vid dan like this.

I was definitely hoping the top pick would be Will Leer.

I have to say that if there was a pick for '07 it would have to be Craig Mottram.

So funny! I love what y'all do Flotrack! Thanks for all the coverage and laughs.

boom shakalaka

My Buddy, Will Leer should have won because stuff makes me fall of my chair every time I hear his stuff

This vid is awesome, I had forgotten all of the ridiculous moments from the recaps, or race coverages....

Abdi, no question about it.

Oh, hooker is good! You can't help but laugh! But when Will Leer shaved his 'stache that was not a funny moment, that actually was a sad moment. Keep the 'stache!

abdi by far, I love him.

ya abdi cracks my up

I liked Abdi the best this year too.

Great video though.

Abdi def had the funniest videos of 08

My Balls,

Check out the video above for how to attach vids!

Abdi is waaaay funnier!!!!

What in the world??? You forgot Breuax Greer at the Trials. That is classic!!!

black cactus still gets my vote.

the live feed from oregon at the olympic trials (in 2008) with carlson is hilarious

Yeah I mean Andrew wins hands down in 07 but 08 has to go to Hooker. Hopefully we have a battle royal in 09!!! Good vid ryano!

links to the videos are under the description on the right but here's the talk show....

Good stuff!! The parachute bit was good. But, the best were the talk show clips. Where can we see the whole show?

is their really any question?

abdi ftw

abdi ftw

I like the one where Abdi didn't know where he was. That's really the only one that made me laugh.

leer is my early pick for 2009!

don't get me wrong, carlson may be one of my favorite personalities in track and field but he wasn't found many places on flotrack in 2008. All his greatest stuff is from 2007, check it out. I hope too see great, hilarious things from him in 09!!

come on Breaux Greer number 1

hooker is hilarious!!!!!

Agreed. Andrew Carlson should have got some love.

top 3 list

1. Andrew Carlson (hands down)
2. Nate Jenkins (Funniest man in the Northeast)
3. Ryan Sheridan (just trust me)

ANDREW CARLSON

andrew carlson?!

i think u guys should pick both male and female award winners for each category.

this isn't a real contest if the only obvious winner, andrew carlson, isn't even nominated. The live feed from the trials alone should have given carlson this title."as of yesterday i'm gonna take two weeks off and quit"

Good pick...that was definitely a tough job. Cross and Track are just loaded with funny people. You gotta have a sense of humor to be in this sport.

Suggestion...next year for the awards, shoot video of the award winners and have them react to receiving their award. Favorite foreigner award...The KIWI, Kim Smith!

andrew carlson!?

what a character
