Jay Glazer (born December 26, 1969) is an American senior writer for FoxSports.com and was a sideline reporter for the NFL on Fox since 2004. He is also the studio host, alongside Frank Trigg, on Fox Sport Net's PRIDE Fighting Championship show. Currently, he is the "NFL insider" for Fox NFL Sunday and hosts Pros vs Joes alongside fellow Fox football analyst Michael Strahan. During NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football schedule, Glazer, alongside analysts Kurt Warner, Sterling Sharpe, Brian Billick, Jim Mora and host Fran Charles can be seen on Thursday Night Kickoff Presented by Sears. Glazer has earned a sterling reputation for being the first "insider" to report several breaking NFL stories through his sources, such as Brett Favre's unretirement and the trade of Randy Moss from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings. He is also a business partner with Randy Couture in MMAthletics based in Las Vegas, NV at Xtreme Couture Training Center.[1] Jay is 1-1 in fights, but has not fought professionally since 2003[2]

Glazer began his sports career as a reporter at the New York Post in New York City. He worked his way up within the Post organization by developing access to players and agents. He also wrote articles for the "Giants Newsweekly" produced by longtime New York Giants correspondent Dave Klein. Among his first sources were NFL agent Jimmy Sexton's New York representative, Peter Flach. Through Flach he became friendly with NY Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn and NY Jets cornerback Aaron Glenn. Through Sehorn he became close with current Fox analyst and former NY Giant, Michael Strahan. His controversial style and his commitment to be first with a story earned him the trust of some New York-based players and executives within the league.
