Looking forward to that. Afterall they did that with Louie Richards until he was completely senile.
Sam Newman made that show. They should have just had more hard hitting interviews where he grilled people. Street talk and forget trying to appease the PC crowd. There is a lot more people who hate PC than are for it.
It should have finished ten years ago. As for Sam, it made him a millionaire many times over. He will now be able to sit up in his penthouse overlooking Melbourne and enjoy the fruits of retirement.
Thank god it’s dead. Must be 15 years since I last watched it. Was great in the 90s but as Sam got older he lost touch and was no longer funny or perhaps I just matured. Anyway life is much better without the Footy Show.
That is an odd claim given Sam Newman just did so... are you just angry that people now get called out for being racist and misogynist? Last time I checked, it is an absolute majority of old, and middle aged, white fellas that make up parliament... what are you on about?
Jeez that PJ girl is terrible. Seems anyone can get a gig on FM radio. For real insight and discussion from Sam on the footy show check out the Sam, Mike & Thomo podcast. Great listening with him, Mike Sheehan and Grant Thomas.
I hate to think of people wheeling Sam Newman out in ten years time to make outlandish comments. Can you only imagine what a 90 year old Sam Newman would be like?
while newman was involved in the show no wonder it wernt off the way he carried on was not a footy show to sam was just sledging woman hhinm and brownless so good the shows finished

The sounds of crickets, a creaky windmill, and an old window shutter flapping in the breeze. A tumbleweed or two for good measure.
