New Trend in Sports Personalized Video Emails?

It seems that personalized video emails are becoming more popular these days. Below are two examples of personalized video emails sent by 2 NFL teams. Are there other NFL or other professional sports teams using this or considering this type of technology? I am curious how far this trend has gone.

Hi Shripal,
Pat Croce, former owner of the Philadelpgia 76er's is one of our new investors and suggested I contact people in your position to make them aware of the flimp platform.
eVideo direct mktg. and communications is a great way for pro teams to communicate with season ticket holders, luxury suite owners, fans, etc.
Much more engaging than static html campaigns. Every campaign is tracked and reports back by individual email address who watched what; how long; what call to action buttons did they click; did they send to a friend; etc....
Examples can be found on www.flimp.net
Thanks,
Terry Whelan

Hi Shripal,

Just checked out your website, very nice. I would love to know if you've worked with an outside vendor for your "Game Zone" page. I'm looking to add some new elements to my site, next year and would appreciate any recommendations.
