An exercise in vanity and uber-insider status — yet entertaining, too

Count Richard Deitsch as a fan of The Afterparty with Jay Glazer, one of the new Internet-only shows that recently debuted on FoxSports.com. "Though much of it is an exercise in vanity and uber-insider status, I find myself enjoying The Afterparty . . ." Deitsch writes in this week’s Media Circus, adding "It’s fair to question whether Glazer is too close with some of his subjects (he’s addressed objectivity issues in this space). But such insider access pays off for The Afterparty, as demonstrated Monday when (New York) Jets defensive tackle Kris Jenkins and (New Orleans) Saints safety Darren Sharper clearly felt comfortable enough to provide some interesting nuggets. For instance, Jenkins said Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn’t the same player he was before the knee injury, saying, ‘I don’t know what he’s going through, but you can tell something is not the same right now.’ "
