The Miami Dolphins have made another splash in free agency Customized Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , signing 34-year-old veteran running back Frank Gore, according to Craig Mish of SiriusXM.The Miami Dolphins have signed RB Frank Gore.— Craig Mish (@CraigMish) March 22, 2018Gore (who turns 35 in May), is a five-time Pro Bowler and likely headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he retires. The ageless Gore completed a successful three-year tenure with the Indianapolis Colts, rushing for a total of 2,593 yards and 13 touchdowns. Gore also had 789 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions.The Dolphins needed a running back after trading Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles at the 2017 trade deadline, where he'd go on to win a Super Bowl. The team also employs Kenyan Drake and Damien Williams in the backfield.Though Gore is now in his mid-30s, he's shown zero signs of slowing down. He rushed for 961 yards and a trio of touchdowns in 2017, even though the Colts finished the season with just three wins.Besides his consistently strong power game Anthony Miller Bears Jersey , Gore will be useful as a leader in the Dolphins locker room. The organization opted for a major culture change, releasing Pro Bowler Ndamukong Suh and trading away star wide receiver Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns for draft picks.On top of Gore, veteran wide receivers Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson have signed with Miami - giving quarterback Ryan Tannehill new weapons to work with after missing all of 2017 with a torn ACL.Miami made the playoffs in 2016 with a 10-6 record, though Tannehill had to miss the final games and postseason contest (a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round) due to injuries.The Dolphins struggled without Tannehill in 2017, posting a 6-10 record as Jay Cutler and Matt Moore couldn't find much consistency. But with Gore and new pieces on offense, Tannehill should rebound nicely in 2018 - and the Dolphins just may punch another ticket to the postseason. 鈥?Amazon had a mostly successful debut into live streaming of major sports events, with increased audience and an improved viewing experience in its first season showing NFL games.The question looking ahead is how aggressively will Amazon be in the sports streaming landscape?“It’s too soon to say,” said Jim DeLorenzo, the head of Amazon Sports. “We’re just in the early stages here. We were definitely pleased with the way things played out. It was great to partner with the NFL on this and we were really happy with how our customers reacted to it. But it’s too soon to say this impacts our strategy going forward.”Amazon Inc. already had smaller deals with the ATP Tour to air last year’s Next Gen ATP Finals and the rights to show some men’s tennis tournaments to customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland Youth Quenton Nelson Jersey , as well as an upcoming deal to show beach volleyball events.But the NFL is the biggest endeavor Amazon has made so far after paying $50 million for the rights to stream 10 Thursday night games and an additional one on Christmas.Amazon built on the audience had in 2016 in the first year of streaming on Thursday nights, with the averaging per-minute audience for the 11 games hitting 310,000, a 17 percent increase from ’s numbers.On a per capita basis, the biggest audience was in the District of Columbia, followed by Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Utah. Prime members in Montana, Wyoming Cowboys Game Jerseys , South Dakota, North Dakota and North Carolina watched for the longest amount of time.Viewers who already are used to watching movies and scripted shows on Amazon’s various platforms stayed longer on the NFL, with the average viewer watching for 63 minutes.The feed was usually much cleaner than on or some other streaming services and was delivered even faster than some cable systems, as opposed to the usual delay for online streaming.“This was really our first step into distributing live sporting events at scale on a global basis,” DeLorenzo said. “Of course there was learning. Because we’re so early on in that process of distributing this kind of content to our customers, there are a number of things we can look at along the way.”Even though television audiences for the NFL dropped for the second straight year as people cut the cord and drop cable or satellite service, the streaming audience on Amazon was still a small fraction compared with the more than 10 million viewers who watched on average the Thursday night games on NBC, CBS or the NFL Network. CBS and NBC pay about $45 million per game for the rights to their Thursday night broadcasts.The NFL will decide soon its plans for Thursday night games next season, but it is expected to once again split the package between a broadcast and streaming partner.Amazon offered alternate language feeds for the broadcast to cater to some of the fans from more 220 countries who tuned into the games Royce Freeman Jersey Broncos , with feeds in Spanish, Portuguese and “U.K. English,” for those less familiar with the American version of football.“That was a fun component of what we were doing and we were glad to see customers reacted well to that as well,” DeLorenzo said.. _________________ Admi |
