Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer is coming to Greenville as the guest speaker during the 2026 Pirate Radio Leadership Luncheon.
The event is March 22-23. That much you likely already knew. What you may not know is the road Glazer has taken to get to this point in his life.
He’s battled depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar issues. Through it all, he’s kept the pace as one of the NFL’s top reporters while also sharing his story and struggles.
He was recently interviewed by the New York Post, where they discussed his job and his life. Some of the things asked were:
Q: Is it a fun job or a pressure-packed job or both?
A: It’s both. I had at 4:30 in the morning that Aaron Rodgers wasn’t playing [last week against the Bears]. And I said, “Man, do I tweet it?” I don’t work for Elon Musk, you know? I work for Fox. So I’m gonna hold it and hope that it waits for our early show, which is “Fox NFL Kickoff,” and it got out 10 minutes before I went on.
Q: When did you realize that your depression and anxiety was really beginning?
A: When I was about 4. … It’s every day of my life. I went to bed every day of my life struggling. I woke up every day of my life struggling. It helped me create this big personality to hide the pain. That big personality’s what ends up getting me hired. I was diagnosed at an early age — clinical depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, last year I got diagnosed with something called OCD anxiety. Other than that I’m a model of stability. … I’ve been on over 30 meds and none of ’em have worked, so I’ve gotta try other things.
