Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer had so much fun in their first season calling NFL games on Amazon Prime that they are coming back for an encore.Amazon announced Thursday the veteran announcing duo will return next season to call the Thursday night package on Amazon’s prime video service.“It’s validation Devin Bush Jersey ,” Kremer said. “You want to be able to show with actions not just words that what we did was meaningful and entertaining and people wanted to watch and listen to us and considered us a viable option to the other great choices that are out there. The fact that Amazon made this decision sooner than we expected was just a real joy to us and made us feel like we were the right choice.”Storm and Kremer were hired last August to do the 11 Thursday night NFL games on Amazon on an alternate English-language feed to those who wanted something different from the Fox broadcast with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.Amazon did not release numbers on how many people chose to listen to Storm and Kremer as opposed to the Fox feed featuring Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, but head of live sports Jim DeLorenzo said the feedback was extremely positive.It was a new role for both. Kremer spent most of her career as an Emmy Award-winning reporter who was honored by the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year with the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award.Storm has had a long career as a studio host and anchor, who had only limited play-by-play experience on the WNBA.But they both took the opportunity to do something new, becoming the first all-female booth to call any major men’s team sport in the United States.“When you do something no one has ever done before, you open yourself up to a certain level of risk because you can be at times heavily criticized,” Storm said. “They’re people who might not like the idea of women doing football or basketball or baseball. There will always be people who push back on something that is not the norm. We wanted to make sure we were comfortable with that element of it, which we were.”Storm and Kremer are part of a trend of more women getting the chance to do play-by-play or analysis on men’s sports.Doris Burke has transitioned from being solely a sideline reporter to a role as a game analyst on ESPN’s NBA coverage. Jessica Mendoza has been a lead analyst on ESPN’s Sunday night baseball coverage since 2015. AJ Mleczko went from covering women’s hockey at the Olympics to analyzing NHL games for NBC Sports Network. Beth Mowins has called NFL games as a play-by-play announcer for both CBS and ESPN.“When Hannah and I were discussing this, she said to me, ‘If not us http://www.steelersfootballauthentics.co...ersey-authentic , then who,'” Kremer said. “That’s pretty significant. If we do this, we’re opening up opportunities for other women. If we don’t do it, that’s a responsibility that we have. I hope that more women get opportunities but I hope it’s the right women for the right reasons.”The addition of an alternate audio feed with Storm and Kremer was the biggest change in Amazon’s second season streaming Thursday night NFL games. After making its debut in 2017, the online retailer signed a two-year, $130 million contract last year to keep the streaming rights to the games.Amazon’s 11 games on Prime Video and Twitch reached 24.4 million total viewers, a 33 percent increase from its first season. The average audience topped 500,000 per minute, a 61 percent increase Justin Layne Jersey , with the average viewer watching for 59 minutes.In all, more than 1 billion minutes of live NFL game content was watched on Prime Video and Twitch.Amazon is expanding its sports coverage with deals in place for PGA Tour Live and NBA League Pass, to go along with deals in the United Kingdom for ATP Tennis and a small package of Premier League soccer games.How much more live sports the company bids for remains to be seen.“Any time that we’re looking at additional opportunities, we’re always starting with the customer to see if it’s content that we think they will really love,” DeLorenzo said. “We are still pretty early on in the life cycle of Amazon offering live sporting events to our customers. It’s been a great learning experience for us and we’re continuing to look at the data to determine what we want to do going forward.” MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Razzle dazzle worked for the Miami Dolphins when little else went right.Injuries depleted their front four, and penalties became a problem. The ground game disappeared, and the defense wearied on a 90-degree afternoon as the Oakland Raiders hogged the ball.But Miami coach Adam Gase took advantage of speedy receivers Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant with creative play-calling, and the Dolphins overcame a 10-point deficit in the final 16 minutes Sunday to beat winless Oakland 28-20 .“Sometimes it’s not going to be pretty http://www.steelersfootballauthentics.co...ersey-authentic ,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “You have to have the grit and togetherness to stick it through and find a way to win.”The surprising Dolphins (3-0) have done that every week so far, setting up an early-season AFC East showdown Sunday at New England. Here are things to know about Miami’s latest win:EXOTICS: Wilson and Grant scored on jet sweeps, with each taking a short toss from Tannehill in the backfield and turning the corner into the clear. But the best bit of trickery was Wilson’s pass — the first of his NFL career — to Grant for a 52-yard score that put Miami ahead to stay.The source of the play? Gase’s mentor, former St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz.“Just straight thievery,” Gase said. “I mean we stole it. It’s an old Martz play. Nobody watches his old stuff. They might now.”WINLESS: The Raiders fell to 0-3 under new coach Jon Gruden, and have lost seven in a row dating to last season. Running back Marshawn Lynch, who rarely comments publicly, offered words of encouragement for Oakland fans.“Most of our players are playmakers,” Lynch said. “Just one juke or spin move Zach Gentry Jersey , or step out of one tackle, and we’ll have a different ballgame.”Oakland plays at home Sunday against Cleveland.KEEPAWAY: The Dolphins scored four touchdowns in just 39 plays. Oakland ran 74 and had a 17-minute advantage in time of possession.“It was like death by a thousand paper clips,” Gase said.Oakland’s ball-control approach took a toll on a Miami front four that lost three players. Akeem Spence was ejected, and William Hayes and Andre Branch suffered knee injuries.That left Miami with only six defensive linemen on a sweltering afternoon.“They were gassed,” Gase said. “They were fighting, though. That’s why I love our locker room.”The Dolphins also overcame nine penalties for 74 yards, and won even though their running backs totaled 15 yards on 11 carries.TAKEAWAY: Cornerback Xavien Howard intercepted Oakland’s Derek Carr twice deep in Miami territory. Howard outmaneuvered intended receiver Martavis Bryant on the second pick, when the Raiders were on the verge of regaining the lead with three minutes to go.“I saw one on one with Martavis, and I took a chance L.J. Collier Jersey ,” Carr said. “They just made a good play.”Said Howard: “It was game-changing. It meant everything. It took the soul out of them when I caught the interception.”Two plays later, Wilson scored on a 74-yard catch and run to seal Miami’s win.The Dolphins have seven interceptions. They totaled nine all of last year.TAKING A TOLL: Gruden — among others — appeared physically drained by the subtropical heat.“It affected me,” he said. “It was hot. It was hot for them, too.”Raiders tackle Donald Penn (concussion) and safety Karl Joseph (lower leg) sat out the second half. Receiver-returner Dwayne Harris (dehydration) required an IV.For Miami, tight end A.J. Derby (foot) sat out the second half, and cornerback Bobby McCain was shaken up in the final minutes.
