''Glory Daze''

Almost Friday Media will launch a new, original weekly interview series, "Glory Daze," hosted by former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel. Premiering later this fall, the program will feature Manziel interviewing sports legends as they reminisce on some of the most remarkable moments and eras in sports. These nostalgic conversations will highlight the emotional nuances that pro athletes experience -- from the monumental wins to the adversities that often accompany them.

"I've been fortunate enough to experience the highest highs and lowest lows that come with being a professional athlete," said Manziel. "Now on 'Glory Daze,' with Almost Friday Media, I'll get the opportunity to sit down with other iconic athletes and help them share their incredible stories. We'll look back through the lens of the players themselves, giving fans an inside look at the moments they remember and the stories they've never heard."

Each week, interviews will revisit iconic sports moments and untold stories from the 'good ol' days,' as Johnny and his guests pull back the curtain to reveal true stories behind some of the most memorable career journeys -- everything from legendary parties to dealing with the trials and tribulations of fame, and authentic discussions on mental health.

"The original Friday Beers account was built, in part, around the relatable experience of watching iconic late night highlights with your buddies. This interview series is a natural and exciting evolution of that," said Almost Friday Media Head of Sports Jacob Selzer. "Johnny is the perfect embodiment of the Almost Friday spirit - someone who can speak to the highs of the glory days while authentically destigmatizing challenging conversations around mental health. We couldn't be more thrilled to have him at the helm of these conversations and as part of the Almost Friday Media family."
