Jay Glazer is a relentless man and it does not appear that he is stopping anytime soon. The FOX Sports insider first reported that the Cleveland Browns would turn to Johnny Manziel for their Week 15 game:
Breaking: Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer have been informed that Manziel will in fact be the starter this week. #Scoopage

Naturally the story was snagged by every news organization in the country, including ESPN but that’s not what Glazer is fussy about it. ESPN did indeed cite FOX Sports but proceeded to give a bogus answer when a FOX public relations official called ESPN to inquire about their citing behaviors.
Glazer elected to publicize the suddenly hilarious debacle:
Haha an all-time low from @ESPN on their constant thievery of other’s work. FOX PR guy calls them to call BS on their claim they had Manziel scoop. News desk guy @sportscenter tells him their reporter didn’t want to be identified. Huh? What reporter doesn’t want credit for hard work paying off? Lying bastards. Haha
Glazer has not been shy with his disdain and outspoken criticism for methods of reporting and citing from ESPN for a long time, but it appears that things have particularly heated up over the last few months, including just last week when he first reported the Browns QB decision.
