Special Q&A with Sam following his office pool victory:

Sam knows his football

Q) Congratulations on your big win this week...
A) Thanks, pal... Um, uh, I mean, "ARF!" Whoops....

Q) I didn't know you could speak???
A) Oh, please don't tell Murray, ok? I'm pretty happy with my role on the show. I get paid to nap and speak when called upon... much like T.J.

Q) Can you describe exactly how it feels to win the office pool?
A) It's an honor, really. Just because I'm a dog doesn't mean I can't pick football games. Sure, I like a belly rub and a crotch self-lick as much as the next guy, but I do have some pride. I may sleep on the dirtiest, stinkiest towel in history, but I remain a proud dog.

Q) I was wondering what that smell was?
A) Step back, pal! Haven't you seen how I handle Kenny from Master Control?
(Editor's note: Kenny is James Brown's understudy)

Q) Moving on… There's a rumor you'll donate a portion of your winnings to charity... Any truth to that?
A) Sort of... I've started the "Coilition to Eradicate Dripping Anal Warts" foundation. You can your contribution checks to me directly.

Q) How much pressure do you face picking against Bruce every week?
A) Pressure? I'll tell you about pressure! The guy knows Bill Parcells. That's why he's roughly 30 games over .500 in Play it Against Sam. I've actually chatted with Parcells' cat, Fluffy, a few times and he gives me picks sometimes, but it doesn't matter. Bruce sets me up to fail most weeks -- This time, I got him!

Q) Describe what it's like to be in the studio with the MitM crew every Friday:
A) Hmmmm… no comment.

Q) What was your inspiration for your winning picks?
A) I heard Scott Wetzel's picks… and went the other way.

Q) Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?
A) Yes. Send biscuts.

Q) And some Lysol?.
A) Not funny. This interview is over.
