FANTASY FOOTBALL UNCENSORED with David Spade & Jay Glazer Premieres 8/23 on FOX Sports 1
NFL on FOX Insider Jay Glazer and actor/comedian David Spade bring together a few of their celebrity buddies for a weekly battle of football knowledge and smack talk as FANTASY FOOTBALL UNCENSORED premieres Saturday, Aug. 23 (12:00 PM ET) with a one-hour Draft special that re-airs on FOX on Sunday, August 24 (2:00 PM ET).
“Spade has been trying to extort insider information from me for years,” Glazer said. “We started talking and thought it would be hilarious if some of the conversations we have had played out in front of all of America to see … it’s really going to be a microcosm of what sports fans all over the country are already doing, and we are going to embrace that and deliver the best information in a very entertaining way.”
Joined by comedians David Spade, Nick Swardson and Brody Stevens, Rascal Flatts’ bassist Jay DeMarcus, MMA icon Chuck Liddell, No Filter’s Katie Nolan, and actor Jerry Ferrara, the group competes through FOX Fantasy Football on FOXSports.com, with Glazer serving as the host and league commissioner. One final entry, representing NFL on FOX, consists of rotating appearances by Brian Urlacher, John Lynch, Ronde Barber and David Diehl.
“This cast embodies the spirit of FOX Sports attitude," said George Greenberg, FOX Sports EVP, Content Integration & Presentation. “Each one of them has a passion for football and loves the competitive nature of playing the game. They bring a fresh take to Fantasy Football.”
Orthopedic surgeon and FOX Sports contributor Dr. Robert Klapper provides insight into player injuries, deciphering team talk and offering fantasy football players a leg up on their competition.
