Jay GlazerBorn and raised in Manalapan, New Jersey, Jay Glazer got his start covering the New York Giants for the New York Post and the local cable channel, NY1. Prior to joining the Fox Sports family in 2004 he covered the NFL for CBS SportsLine and was an insider on CBS Sports' The NFL Today. In Glazer's first year in studio at Fox NFL Sunday, he was named Sports Illustrated's Media Person of the Year. In August 2018, he signed on with The Athletic, the award-winning subscription-based website for die-hard sports fans. Among his many scoops over the years are the New England Patriots' Spygate video, Oakland Raider Barret Robbins's Super Bowl Mexican bender, the NFL subpoenas in the BALCO drug-lab scandal, the league's new concussions rule, and on and on. Outside football, Glazer has developed a widely recognized expertise as a trainer and broadcaster in the world of mixed martial arts. With business partner Randy Couture, he has trained more than 100 NFL players, including Jared Allen, Odell Beckham Jr., and Callais Campbell, improving their on-field performance with MMA techniques. He has also served as a special guest trainer for the Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, and other teams. With insights gained from his own cage-fighting career (4-3 in professional MMA and submission fights), Glazer hosted the first MMA show ever broadcast in the U.S., as well as the Pride Fighting Championships on FoxSportsNet. In 2014, he co-founded the Unbreakable Performance Center, a private training facility in West Hollywood regularly frequented by Chuck Liddell, Mark Wahlberg, Sylvester Stallone, Wiz Khalifa, Demi Lovato, and Chris Pratt, as well as numerous NFL, NHL and MMA athletes. Despite his full plate of media and sports assignments, it's Glazer's commitment to military veterans that has truly captured his heart. Alarmed at the tough road--depression, anxiety, substance abuse and suicide--that veterans and former professional athletes often share, in 2015, he and former U.S. Army Green Beret Nate Boyer founded the charitable organization MVP (Merging Vets and Players) to assist these two groups as they adjust to civilian life. As Jay says, "In a nation where twenty-two veterans commit suicide every day, we haven't lost a single MVP member yet." Glazer's strong connection with sports fans and his unique persona have sparked his growing demand as an actor in major TV and film comedy-dramas. He has a prominent, recurring role as himself in all five seasons of the popular HBO series, Ballers, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. His other acting credits include Bones, The League, The Game Plan and The Longest Yard.
