[h=1]Storm, Kremer to become first female duo to call NFL game[/h]

The NFL is expanding its coverage of “Thursday Night Football” to Amazon Prime Video beginning in Week 4, and the duo providing commentary for this week’s game and beyond will be making history.


Amazon announced on Tuesday that longtime journalists Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer will be calling the games for the live stream over the next 11 weeks. Greg Hart, Vice President of Prime Video, noted that the two women will become the first female duo to ever call an NFL game.


“NFL fans will hear history made this season – bringing two female announcers together to call an entire NFL game has never been done before,” Hart said, via BusinessWire.com. “Our customers around the world love to stream football – we are thrilled to have Andrea and Hannah bring their extensive knowledge of the game to fans on Prime Video.”


[FONT=&quot]Amazon’s decision to go with Storm and Kremer continues a trend of women taking on more prominent roles in sports broadcasting in recent years. Doris Burke became the first female to serve as a full-time NBA game analyst last year for ESPN, and the network also named a woman a full-time analyst, as Jessica Mendoza joined its “Sunday Night Baseball” broadcast.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The first game Storm and Kremer will call should be a quality matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams, two of the top teams in the NFC.[/FONT]

Don't know how those two will do, but I like Doris Burke and don't think I'm alone on that one. Didn't she recently receive a fairly prestigious award (Curt Gowdy)? Robin Roberts used to be great on ESPN (although I don't think she did game commentating).

I will give them a chance, but will probably not like it. What I really hate is when the girls announcing try to act manly and it just comes off as awkward and unnatural. I would be open to watching women call the games, but only if they do it in a way that's natural. The reason the women on the sidelines reporting works, is because they do it in a way that's natural, they aren't trying to be a man.

Although I agree with you, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they are coached to do that by their male counterparts.

I heard they're planning a game in Key West next year and they're planning to have two flamboyantly gay princesses call the game. Just a rumor though...
