Sam over steps the mark on Caro, but Lyon should be ashamed!
The Footy Show was born of a time when Channel 9 didn’t have the rights to the Footy and thought that they could make a successful footy show with no game coverage but by having current day players talking about the issues of the game.
It worked. Partly because of Eddie McGuire’s ability to break big stories but mostly because of the pure brilliance of John “Sammy” Newman and what he could bring to the show.
Last year, Nine lost the rights and again tried to create a new football show to keep its footy relevants up. This time Footy Classified was born with co-hosts Gary Lyon (who at this time is also co-host of the Footy Show) being paired with Craig Hutchinson joined by Caroline Wilson and Wayne Carey.
The show was somewhat successful and continued to this day (with Archer replacing Carey). Last year Caro copped her fair share (perhaps more then her fair share) of ribbing about her looks (especially her braces on her teeth) and her dress. Even with all this, the past weeks Sam’s Mailbag took it to a new level. Have a look at the video below and towards the end, Sam takes the bagging of Caro’s dress sense to a whole new level!
April 3, 2008: Sam takes a look into the mailbag for the week.
Personally I don’t know whether you can blame Sam for this as its his job and its in his nature to play this sort of prank. To me Gary Lyon should take a good hard look at himself. Gary is the host of both the people involved (Sam and Caro) and so should have stuck up for his colleague, Caro. He could have easily told Sam to lay off or even checked with Caro if this was going to effect her as badly as it did. There was talk on Monday morning that she had quit the show. In the end she was still on the show but looked disappointed when it was discussed and Lyon said that he apologised to Caro earlier. If the video of this becomes available, I will put it on the show!
What do you think? Did Sam go to far? Is Caro being to sensitive? Should Gary have stopped Sam?
