I think that cancer scared has really put things into perspective for him. I think it has really changed him. The footy show won't be as good without him, everyone will miss him. He is a character and has character.

Sam Newman is Sam Newman if you dont't like him, you dont. I am like him has a commentator of the game, and value his opinion of the game, However i dont value what he says regarding women on boards etc etc etc. But if i dont like what he is saying i can either turn the channel over or listen and still believe what i believe in.

Without Sam, there would'nt be a footy show.How boring would it be without the antics that sam gets away with.it's just like the WWF its all show,its play acting at its best.I agree with others if you don't like the Footy Show then change channels.And stop complaining!!!!.

I can't stand him, some of my friends think he is funny, but it just disgusts me to watch him. He is rude, insulting and sexist. Not once when i was watching him did i laugh, or think he was an intelligent being. And because of him i wont ever watch the footy show again. I just dont see what people find so great about him.

And i LOVE the footy, so im not someone who hates the game and anything to do with it...just Newman.

I love him without him the Footy show just wouldn't be the same I admit he has said some things I have found offensives but then thats just Sam and he likes to be controversial and many take the bait.

I am one of many people that have tuned out of the footy show courtesy of Sam. I had a lot of respect for Ed MacGuire but that stopped when they continued to promote Sam. I understand a lot of people still watch him .... like a car crash .... can't take your eyes off it, but that doesn't mean it's right. He is pig!

Hes such a w**ka how dare he say women have no place in football they so do without women memberships would be down and also women do heaps behind the scenes. Channel nine should drop him. Also the afl should punish him aswell its just absoloutly foul behaviour.

I hate him and I don't watch the Footy Show.

FURTHER NOTE - Some people here are saying they have met him personally and his media persona is nothing more than an act. I have heard the same thing about Anthony Mundine and how many people dislike him, me included.

yeah mate, he's a di<khead but without him it wouldn't be the same, he goes too far some times but he does that on purpose, good for ratings and it always works.

he is good for the footy show and he is pretty good at footy it self.

ps. dont be rude to others they could be on right now.

Sammy is fantastic. I had no idea who he was when I met him after the Footy Show in 1995. He was very polite, nothing like "the act" he is in the media.

I asked Sam and Eddie when the Footy Show was going to make it to America. I think, once America understood the show, it would be enjoyed. The censors would have a field day though.

Sam is great. I have been in the audience five times, maybe a Yank record, I don't know. If Sam left the show, I think the ratings would go in the tank.

If you don't like to watch, 7, 10, ABC and SBS have something else on.

I am still looking forward to the day when I can watch 7, 9 and 10 on American television. With all the garbage already on cable television in America, why can't I get something good on my system, network television from Oz?

He's old, but he's vibrant.

He's crazy, but funny.

Love him

people who complain need to either stop watching or get a life funny hey all the people who say they hate him still watch week after week

anyway if they got off the POLE there sitting on and cracked a smile and had a laugh they might feel better about them selves

Spot on. Seriously, how boring would The Footy Show be without Sam. Trevor sometimes has decent one liners, but without Sam, they would lose SO many viewers, it's not funny.

I used to watch the footy show religiously.  But I stopped coz they turned it into one big commercial.  Next time you watch, count how many times they plug a company or product.  Everything's always brought to you by somebody.  Must be part of their contract.

But as far a Sammy is concerned, you need someone willing to take the p*ss out of people and he fits the bill perfectly.  So I guess he's a necessary evil.

LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!!!!!

He IS the Footy Show.

Outside of that his mates say his a top bloke and puts his reputation on the line every week for that show.That takes guts I reckon.

For those that Don't like him,Don't watch him...EASY!!!!!

All you need to do is press a little button on the remote.
