It seems there's been more written about Tyson Fury's BBC Sports Personality of the Year award nomination than his heavyweight title win.
A petition demanding that the Mancunian boxer is removed from the list has drawn in excess of
50,000 signatures.
Discussing the matter on a latenight newspaper review on BBC News, Clive Myrie delivered his frank assessment on the matter.
"It's after the watershed," he notes, glancing at his watch. "You cannot be a d*ckhead and win Sports Personality."

Although his comments were indeed after the watershed, seeing someone in a BBC newsroom utter the term "d*ckhead" was a bit of a surprise.
Nevertheless, his straight talking went down well on Twitter.
