I know there is no chance of it happening, but I hope Dario Franchitti gets some recognition in this years ceremony. He won Indy car championships this year. Always wondered why he has never been linked to F1.

The sports personality is fvcking cack anyway.

That fat bastard Andrew Flintoff won it because England(mainly due to the weather)managed to beat one team in a test series(in which Shane Warne totally over shadowed everyone, including fat Freddie)

The same year that Hatton beat a p4p top 3 fighter to become the main man at light welter.

Calzaghe losing out to Zara Phillips last year say's it all really.

A boxer will never win it again, unless he is a heavyweight who dominates(Lewis)or a celebrity heavyweight loved by the general public(Bruno and Cooper, who ridiculously won it twice :o )

Was'nt David Walliams on the shortlist of contenders last year??? :lol:

No they had to change the rules to prevent Walliams from winning it. They wittled it down to 10 based on "experts" rankings. Going by the bookies before they did that - Walliams was leading the vote - cause he was betting favourite.

Hatton is a strong 6/1 2nd favourite by the shoe-in that is Hamilton. Calzaghe meanwhile is 55s :o Working on the presumption that Calzaghe has a very good chance of beating Kessler (the significance of which needs no introduction) and probably, on paper at least, is more likely to beat Kessler than Ricky is to beat pbf, then surely it's worth a few bob on sicknote, either to be traded on the exchanges, or E/W.

Yu will not win it unless your sport is shown exclusively on the BBC

And that rules out a lot of sportspeople

The clue is in the title the BBC Sports Personality of the Year

does anyone think, in the light of all the recent fiddles with TV producers ignoring the voting millions and deciding among themselves who wins what, that the personality of the year is not rigged to the rafters?
