Title: BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Post by: Highlander on October 19, 2012, 13:07:04 PM: You know that the year has just flown bye when you suddenly realise it's nearly time for this annual event.

Question is what weightings do you put on the following and who would your Personality of the Year be.

Achievement in their particular sport

Personality
Title: Re: BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Post by: Scunner on October 19, 2012, 13:25:44 PM: Nigel Mansell won this one year so I would estimate the weightings of achievement v personality to be somewhere in the region of 100%/0%.

I can't answer the second part, it's difficult to think of anyone in sport today quite as dull and boring as Nigel Mansell. Possibly Neil Lennon.

Post by: tinkerman on October 19, 2012, 14:53:11 PM: I wouldnt call Neil Lennon boring, hes had lots of good fights!
Title: Re: BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Post by: Scunner on October 19, 2012, 15:17:46 PM: You haven't heard him interviewed on Sportscene on BBC Scotland obviously - if you missed the match it is impossible to tell whether they won 9-0 or lost 9-0.

Title: Re: BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Post by: Highlander on October 19, 2012, 17:01:15 PM: Phew kevmclean2001 ! I thought for a terrible moment that we were going to have another Lennon post ;D.

I take it from your choice of number 1 that you place a high weighting on achievement.

Which was the point of the question. Should Andy Murray's fantastic sporting achievement be enough for him to win.
Title: Re: BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Post by: Scunner on October 20, 2012, 15:25:51 PM: Well it shouldn't but it won't affect it.

Based on past winners, for Sports Personality of the Year, read Sports Person of the Year.

I'd be amazed if Andy Murray was on drugs when he won the US Open. ;D

PS Hope all went well the other day.
