Sam Newman is the best entertainer in this country at the moment, lets hope he can last another 5 years as he’s looking more fragile as the days go by.

@TheUglyBaby … Why? Because they don’t take crap from fools? I think people are missing the point . They are being blinded by the settlement sum which is barely relevant. It’s about respect and accountability.

An “if” apology is not an apology, it’s lip service. Nine shows its contempt again. Though to be fair, it’s the Nine lawyers not the Nine idiot “stars” this time.

Then again we all know they aren’t sorry so who cares, it’s the money that sends the message.

@Craig(Buzz) “people are too sensitive”. Really? If people announce on television that you did or said something which isn’t true then why shouldn’t they be made to take it back and apologise? The football goons that spout rubbish for the sake of a cheap laugh should in fact be more sensitive.

We always read about cost cutting at 9 yet Sam Newman remains there on a reported $1 million a year. I can never figure that out seeing he’s only on a show once a week in half of Australia. Now he’s costing them even more.
