Riley Meets the Rugrats
Heat Coach Pat Riley has another motivational speaking assignment.
To prove he's not afraid of young talent, Riley's going to the extreme: reaching out to the youth of tomorrow. He's signed on to be the announcer for a Heat-themed DVD called "Miami Heat Baby." The DVD is among the latest entries in the Team Baby Entertainment line of licensed sports-themed DVDs aimed at teaching babies about college and pro sports.
The line, which sells for $19.95 each at teambabyentertainment.com, includes a variety of NCAA-licensed DVDs, for your collegiate fan baby, including "Baby Gator." The DVDs incorporate the color, pageantry and mascots associated with the featured team or sport. Proving its never too early to begin exposing kids to sports, the company's tagline is: "Raising Tomorrow's Fan Today."
Among other celebrity narrators are Mark Cuban for "Dallas Mavericks Baby" and Jay Leno, who has "NASCAR Baby" duties. The Heat DVD will be available starting in January.
Meanwhile, Riley has become Creative Artists Agency Sports division's first basketball client, according to the SportsBusiness Journal. The Hollywood agency launched its sports division earlier this year.
