The Footy Show - an embarassment

If you're after something a bit more cerebral, then turn your TV off and read Inside Footy! (with apologies to Jim).

I no longer waste my money on Inside Football.

It's totally obsessed with Victoria (not much changes)

Columnists like Crackers and Schwarz read like gossip columnists from old-school newsletter ~ namedropping ex-playes and repeating vague rumours about unnamed players.

The wrap-ups and previews of the games contain little analysis of note (the feral Swan's always a dill).

About the best bit is where they fill a page from "the bladder" and that you can get for free.

On the other hand a friend with payTV reckons "On the couch" is pretty good.

Loved the Eddie Overdoes article!!!

Did anyone see CNNNN when they warned about the new Eddie virus. It evetually shut down their news room, with pictures of Eddie everywhere!! Very funny.

sam talks to people for hours and they put the funniest (stupid peoople generally) on. They prolly presume its a lot funnier to see silly comments and antics and stuff than the people who give intelligent answers and have a football brain... i think channel 9 call it entertainment

I didn't see the show but it sounds like Sam's trotting out the same tired old gay jokes about Sydney. It's time he realised that we don't have a monopoly in this area....maybe his mate Molly could explain?

I have not watched the footy show in years. Last night whilst it was not as pro Collingwood as it used to be, I did, and it is pathetic.

For the Streettalk Sam did appear to be at Paddo and/or the Cross, got a few unfortunates who were about his level (intellectually disabled), and an inebriated queen.

There was no good ad libbing or repartee, Sam could not even outsmart three drunks!

To quote Sam?s own pathetic words to the trucky that scratched his Lambo? a few years ago ?don?t you know who I am??, well Sydney, Sam, it appears, does not know??or care!

Swans fans would be better served just to send the money straight to a worthy charity rather than encourage this Channel 9 sycophantic rabble.

Coming from Sam this is a bit rich. Bloody hypocrite!

It is commonly known in Melbourne's gay scene that Sammy had a, let's say, "free and easy" social life.
