ANDREA KREMER- on a career of firsts and wearing many hats

Andrea Kremer is the queen of stories. From anecdotes with her former NFL Films mentor and boss, Steve Sabol to advice from her former NBC Sunday Night Football broadcast partner, John Madden, Kremer is a master storyteller. She’s engaging, witty and has seen it all in her storied career. It’s no wonder TV Guide named her, one of the 10 greatest female sportscasters of all time. 

Kremer’s versatility is unmatched. She tirelessly juggles roles as NFL Network chief correspondent, NFL analyst for Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football, co-host for 'We Need to Talk' on CBS Sports, HBO Real Sports correspondent, and professor of practice at Boston University. And these are just her current gigs. 

In this in-depth conversation Kremer discusses her career of firsts- as the first female producer at NFL Films; first female correspondent at ESPN; and first all-female broadcast team to call an NFL game. She shares the initial apprehension that came with that Amazon Prime pitch and why she always joked at ESPN, she was John Walsh’s ‘greatest draft pick.’

Kremer gets real on the double standard that still exist for female sports journalists and explains how she forged a multi-faceted career in sports, during a time when very few female examples existed. She offers her advice for broadcasters new to calling remote games, describes the significance of the Pete Rozelle radio-television award and her induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
