Wondering what Sam Newman's been up to since Channel Nine brass advised him to take a break and recover from his dickheadishness recent operation? Been having visions of him sitting in his armchair, covered by a crochet blanket and drinking Cup'A'Soup in front of Oprah?

Well, he's really been putting his feet up - if by that you possibly mean "...on the table at Crown".

Sam Newman was back with his Footy Show mates on Sunday at a dinner at Crown Casino to celebrate the show's Logies success.

The event at Number 8 was hosted by Channel 9 Melbourne boss Jeff Browne.

Browne had to break the news to Newman last week that he was to take a break from the show.

All the The Footy Show cast and crew were there, including hosts Garry Lyon and James Brayshaw.

Everyone had to declare what the show meant to them, and Confidential believes it got a little sentimental.

I'll bet it did, if by "sentimental" they mean... you're right, I'll get my coat.

Seriously, though, what do you think the Footy Show blokes said the show means to them? "Somewhere I can scratch my arse and engage in potentially homoerotic banter with my Best Friends without the hawklike glare of my woman *wipes nose on sleeve*"? Or something a little more refined?

Answers on a postcard!
