Jay Glazer
SPEAKING CLIENT
Jay is considered to be the top “Insider” in the National Football League and perhaps the world of sports. In fact, Jay was named Sports Illustrated's 2007 Media Person of the Year.
Jay is the host of PROS VS JOES on Spike and is currently serving as the NFL Insider for Fox Sports’ award-winning FOX NFL Sunday where he has three segments on the show, breaking in with exclusives, injury updates and breaking news. Jay had the two biggest exclusives of the past decade. He was first to report the retirement of Brett Favre and he is currently the only person with the New England Patriots’ SpyGate videos in his possession. In fact, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell publicly admitted he destroyed other tapes because Glazer got the originals and aired them on FOX.
Jay also hosts FSN’s Pro Football Preview show, which aired every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Jay steps out of his insider role for this show and instead acts as host, instigator and lightening rod for a rapid fire roundtable that includes future Hall Of Famer Tim Brown, Eddie George and Jason Sehorn.
In addition to hosting Pro Football Preview, Jay also hosts the Pride Fighting Championships on FSN, the first mixed martial arts (MMA) highlights show ever broadcast in the U. S.
Jay’s MMA experience doesn’t stop there as he has also served as the original cageside analyst for Showtime on their broadcast of EliteXC cage fighting bouts. A former fighter himself, Jay brings a unique perspective to the broadcasts although he had to relinquish his role when the NFL season began due to conflicting schedules. He was recently named host of a new MMA show on FSN named GI’s versus Joes.
Jay holds a record of 4-3 in mixed martial arts and submission fighting. He currently trains on a professional team in Arizona named Arizona Combat Sports but his TV duties have prevented him from fighting since joining FOX. The last time he competed was March of 2005 when he won a gold medal at the World Championships of Submission Fighting while fighting under Team Renzo Gracie.
Jay’s current daily training partners include two veterans of the Spike hit The Ultimate Fighter, the WEC lightweight champion of the world and a 10x world Brazilian jui-jitsu champion. He has also trained with the likes of Chuck Liddell, Frank Trigg and rolled with Randy Couture. His style is more ground and pound due to a background in wrestling but he also relies heavily on his hands as he likes to scrap in the standup.
Jay resides in Scottsdale, Arizona.
