JAY GLAZER BIO

Jay Glazer is a prominent cast member of FOX Sports’ award-winning NFL pregame show, FOX NFL SUNDAY, where he serves as the NFL Insider. Known for his ability to deliver exclusives, late-breaking updates, injury news and reports from across the league, Glazer keeps viewers informed right up until kickoff and throughout FOX’s Sunday coverage, including THE OT. As 2026 marks his 23rd year with the network, his expertise, relationships and insider knowledge remain integral to the show’s success. For the second year, Glazer expands his role by again joining FOX NFL KICKOFF, further solidifying his presence across the network’s comprehensive football coverage.

Renowned for breaking news and maintaining an unmatched network of connections throughout the NFL, Glazer has carved out a unique place in the industry. His reputation, however, extends beyond his journalistic prowess. His vibrant personality, straightforwardness and genuine authenticity have earned him a loyal following. In a field where trust and credibility are paramount, Glazer’s ability to combine expert knowledge with an approachable, unmistakably authentic style continues to set him apart.

That was on full display throughout the 2025 season, when Glazer put together an impressive run of major NFL exclusives. His scoops included Maxx Crosby’s dispute with the Raiders amid widespread trade interest, new details surrounding DK Metcalf’s incident with a Lions fan, and former NFL MVP Matt Ryan’s talks with the Falcons about a potential front-office role. The run prompted Front Office Sports to feature Glazer and his impressive "scoop streak." In May, the Las Vegas Raiders also honored him with the organization’s Commitment to Excellence Award for his work advancing mental health awareness.

Glazer made headlines by breaking the most significant story of the year on one of television's most watched programs. During the Super Bowl LIX  pregame show, Glazer revealed that the New York Jets had discreetly flown Aaron Rodgers to their facility three days prior, informing him of their decision to release him and move forward without him. This exclusive report stood in stark contrast to other shows, which were still speculating about the Jets' plans and uncertain about their intentions. Glazer's timely and accurate reporting not only captivated audiences but also underscored his reputation as a leading NFL insider, capable of delivering pivotal news when it matters most.

He has built a formidable reputation for consistently breaking major NFL stories throughout the year. His commitment to loyalty, a relentless work ethic, and precise reporting has propelled him to the forefront of NFL journalism. These qualities have made him a trusted "go-to" source for news and information, solidifying his status as a leading figure in sports media.

Other career highlights include the biggest scoop in NFL history when Glazer got his hands on the infamous SpyGate video showing the New England Patriots cheating in 2007. He obtained the video this despite the NFL’s assurance that all copies of the tape had been destroyed. 

Glazer remains the only person in possession of the SpyGate videos and has refused to surrender despite being threatened by Senator Arlen Spector with jail time. Known as one of the hardest-working man in the industry, Glazer was named Sports Illustrated’s Media Person of the Year in 2007.

Years later, Glazer again secured exclusive video showing the New England Patriots illegally filming the Cincinnati Bengals sideline, an incident that became known as SpyGate 2. 

Glazer has built a career on blockbuster scoops.  Before the 2014 NFL season even began, he reported that 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh would not return the following season – regardless of how well the ream performed, even if San Francisco won the Super Bowl.  Harbaugh ultimately left the 49ers for the University of Michigan at season’s end.  Months later, just before Super Bowl XLIX, Glazer broke the news that the NFL had obtained video showing a New England Patriots locker-room attendant taking game-ready footballs into a separate room before the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts – an explosive development in what became known at Deflategate.

He scored the first sit-down interview with Richie Incognito following the Miami Dolphins’ locker room bullying scandal.  He was also the first to report the end to the NFL lockout, breaking the news at 3:52 AM. Glazer was on top of every Brett Favre retirement, un-retirement and signing.

Glazer also broke the news the night before the Super Bowl that Raiders All-Pro center Barrett Robbins had gone AWOL to Tijuana and would be sent home, forcing him to miss the biggest game of the year.

Four years ago, specifically Halloween of 2021, Glazer had the only sit-down interview with Eagles star Lane Johnson, who had unexpectedly left the team on a  Sunday morning while dealing with a mental health crisis.  Johnson opened up publicly to Glazer, leading to an extensive segment by the entire cast on men’s mental health – one that was praised by NFL players and fans for helping others realize they were not alone.

In January 2022, he started a new chapter in his life and career as a "mental health warrior" after he released his book, Unbreakable: How I Turned My Depression and Anxiety Into Motivation and You Can Too. With his book and voice, Glazer became and remains a powerful voice for many struggling with mental health issues.  He tours the country now to speak to different professional teams and companies about his "Unbreakable mental health mindset" and "Turning Mental Health into Mental WEALTH!"  He has talked to 10 teams in the last few years.

In fact since his book was published numerous people have reached out to Glazer thanking him for saving their lives, for giving mental health words and for showing them someone else just like them. 

In September 2022, Glazer expanded his work in mental health when iHeartMedia and Fox Sports Radio launched Jay’s podcast, Unbreakable: A Mental Wealth Podcast. Glazer shares his personal mental health journey with audiences, including the tools and techniques he’s developed to "fight the gray" and "live in the blue " – his phrases for living and thriving with anxiety, depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Glazer is also an incredibly passionate and pioneer voice in the world of mixed martial arts. He was the FIRST host of a national MMA Show in America when he hosted The Pride Fighting Championships on FoxSportsNet and was a longtime studio host for UFC and Bellator as well as color commentator for Elite XC. 

His passion for the sport goes way beyond broadcasting as Glazer even fought twice professionally in 2003 then began a long coaching career where he created the first MMA training program for pro athletes. He has coached hundreds and hundreds of pro athletes and even coached numerous NFL teams such as the Falcons, Saints, Rams, Browns at their facilities. 

In addition to sports, Glazer also got many Hollywood stars such as Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Demi Lovato, and The Jonas Brothers among many others to begin their amazing MMA training journey.

On the entertainment side, Glazer has starred in multiple TV shows, including all five seasons of the HBO hit Ballers. He has also had spots on The League on FX, hosted the season finale of Wicked Tuna for National Geographic, and hosted the 100th episode of Pitbulls and Parolees on Animal Planet. He also hosted 4 seasons of Pros Vs. Joes on Spike TV. He’s a natural in front of the camera, allowing his fun, outgoing and unique personality to shine through on the biggest of stages.

Glazer got married on May 7, 2024 to Rosie Tenison and the two live in Malibu, California. Rosie herself had a long prestigious career in modeling and has recently starred in a series of commercials with Glazer as well as co-hosted three infomercials for SuperPatch.
