At the Pro Bowl in 2007, Glazer got into a shouting match with Peyton Manning after Manning made a lighthearted wisecrack to Glazer about New York Giants legend and ABC-talk-show co-host Michael Strahan's divorce. (Glazer and Strahan are best friends.)
"I took it the wrong way," he tells me now. "So I said, '**** YOU, PEYTON. **** you.' I was just ******* screaming at him, yelling at him: 'I'll beat your ass. Don't ******* treat me like a bitch, don't talk about my friends and their ******* problems. I don't give a shit who you are, okay? We're ******* men. Just because you play football and I don't does not make you any more of a man and does not mean you could beat my ass, because you cannot.' It was pretty surreal. All of a sudden Peyton's like, Aw, what did I get myself into?"
Do you feel like you reacted properly?
"No."
But here's the kicker: According to Glazer, he and Manning are totally cool now. Bros. This happens a lot in Glazer's orbit. Glazer almost always mends his fences—though not without a very real moment of tension first. He is a man who lives for pushing things right to the brink. I ask him if he's gotten better with his temper over the years.
"I never had a temper!"
