About an hour ago, Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer took to Twitter to break the news about Johnny Manziel starting over Brian Hoyer for the Browns against the Bengals on Sunday. And while the news didn't come out of nowhere—it was widely believed that Manziel would start over Hoyer this weekend—Glazer made sure to share the scoop that he got on the story, not once:

1.

Breaking: Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer have been informed that Manziel will in fact be the starter this week. #Scoopage

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

But twice:

2.

Again i'm reporting that Johnny Manziel has been informed he is starting this week. #Scoopage

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

So Glazer wasn't happy—to say the least—when he noticed that ESPN had picked up the story and essentially claimed partial ownership of it. They broadcasted the news on SportsCenter and also sent out this tweet, which seemed to indicate that they had broken the story along with Glazer:

So over the course of the last hour, Glazer has gone in on ESPN on Twitter. He started by calling out ESPN for "their constant thievery of other's work":

4.

Haha an all-time low from @ESPN on their constant thievery of other's work. FOX PR guy calls them to call ... http://t.co/n3H66fP2S0

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

Then, he explained why he was so upset with The Worldwide Leader in Sports:

5.

Some may care, others don't, but when people work hard in any job (scoops is how our performance is judged) their work should NOT be stolen!

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

And while he was quick to point out that he wasn't throwing shots at everyone from ESPN...

6.

"@Nailers_Off_Ice: @JayGlazer Cowherd even was wondering why ESPN didn't credit Fox Sports if they had it first.">many good ppl at @espn

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

…he also retweeted several other messages that people sent to him just to reiterate how upset he was with ESPN:

7.

"@mikefreemanNFL: I think @JayGlazer has every right to be upset about his stolen scoopage. Maybe the most ... http://t.co/c6vGK2kc3r

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

It seems he's moved on now, as he just sent this tweet out:

8.

Had a blast this AM w my bud @laurensivan & @GDLA here at our gym @Unbreakable. Broke Manziel on their air #toughlife pic.twitter.com/fXaQfOKZfN

— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) December 9, 2014

But he was obviously not thrilled with how the Manziel news broke. And he wasn't afraid to let ESPN know about it.
