FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (September 20, 2001) - SportsLine.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLN), the leading global Internet sports media company and publisher of CBS SportsLine.com (http://cbs.sportsline.com), announced the addition of CBS Sports' "NFL Insider" Jay Glazer, to its staff of award-winning writers.
Glazer immediately made his mark with SportsLine.com during the opening weekend of the NFL season, breaking three stories. He was the first to report that the NFL had rescinded its latest offer to the referees union, reverting to its earlier offer; that the Bengals had agreed to terms with their first round draft pick, Justin Smith; and that Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn would miss the Giants opener Monday night at Denver.
Glazer, who is in his third year with CBS Sports' "The NFL Today," has broken several national stories over the last two seasons. Glazer's experience includes work in television, radio, print and the Internet. In addition to his work for CBS network television, he has served as an on-air commentator for WCBS-TV in New York, providing insider reports and analysis for New York Jets preseason games, the station's Sunday night sports wrap-up show and other WCBS programming. Glazer also has covered the NFL for the New York Post, hosts a weekly NFL interview show for Madison Square Garden Network and has hosted a Monday night NFL radio show on New York radio stations, WFAN and WABC.
"Jay has terrific sources throughout the NFL and his teaming with Pete Prisco on the NFL beat will enhance our coverage of professional football, enabling CBS SportsLine.com to continue its tradition as the leader in providing breaking NFL news," said Joe Ferreira, vice president, programming and executive producer for SportsLine.com, Inc. "Adding Jay to our staff is another example of how our users will benefit from the synergy that exists between CBS Sports and SportsLine.com."
