The Jason McIntyre Show: Talking to Jay Glazer, Fox Sports
By Jason McIntyre
* Jay Glazer’s first job? Bodyguard to radio legend Mike Francesa at the NFL draft when Francesa had to use the bathroom.
* Jay Glazer on himself as a 20-something reporter: “I was definitely a little shit head.”
* Jay Glazer sold vacuums door-to-door at the Jersey shore.
* Old media hated Jay Glazer on his rise to scoop city. “They treated me like crap.” Once, a relatively prominent NFL writer – he didn’t want to name him, but I’ll drop hints in the comments until you guess him – went around bad-mouthing Glazer to the media few years ago. Glazer met up with him at Packers practice …
* Jay Glazer on how twitter has turned reporting into an ‘awful business’ – people are often wrong and nobody cares.
* What does he tell athletes that he trains in the offseason? “If you eff up off the field, it’s on you, not me.”
* Player that impressed Glazer the most this offseason? Kenny Stills of the Saints. He was labeled a punk at Oklahoma.
* Tough class Glazer had to make: NFL player he’s trained gets popped for Adderall. Glazer calls him. Player asks Glazer not to write about it. Good story.
