A month after the veteran reporter predicted the Giants wide receiver would be traded, he's taking a victory lap.
Jay Glazer is having a good week. By Ben Strauss Ben Strauss Sports and Media Reporter Email Bio Follow March 14 at 11:26 AM Veteran NFL reporter Jay Glazer was in sunny Southern California on Tuesday having a few afternoon beers with a Navy SEAL buddy when his phone buzzed. Momentum was building for a trade of New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
All of which led Glazer to drop the following colorful tweet: “For all you f — sticks who spewed s--- at me, my kid, my mom, my mom’s kid, my kid’s mom, my head size, body size, intelligence, my mom’s intelligence all because I made a prediction about your team today save your ridiculous f----- insults for s--- that matters in life.”
And so after the Beckham trade became official, Glazer was as delighted as any Browns fans. The calls and texts came rolling in from around the league, from coaches and general managers. Fellow reporters paid tribute, too. “I am again reminded why Jay is the best insider in the business,” Michael Strahan wrote. “Kudos,” wrote NBC’s Peter King. “That is why he is the best in the business,” wrote former NFL officiating czar Dean Blandino.
Glazer is a veteran of the NFL rumor mill wars. A New York native, he wrote for the New York Post in the 1990s when a scoop didn’t land until it was published in the newspaper the next day. He pointed to 1999 as the year everything changed. Glazer moved to CBSsportsline.com and started writing on the Internet, when nuggets of information could be reported instantly. Back then, he used to go toe-to-toe with John Clayton, Chris Mortensen and Len Pasquarelli, all of whom worked for ESPN.
