A friend of mine has this as his status on gchat:
"An athlete of both foot and base, coupled with ursa who cares of fate. With source of heat of which to feed but fell from the beginning, the start of steed...whoever figures out this riddle gets a hundred bucks...p.s. i made it up so you wont find the answer online"
I don't know if this will throw you off, but I know that he is involved in Psychology or the Medical field. It didn't help ME at all, but then again, I didn't get the right answer.
I kinda want to see if people went where I went with this, so I'm not going to post my initial thought process yet (even thought it is wrong).
Have fun riddling!

I've got a guess based on the first sentence, but the second is stumping me.

Kyle Williams is a 2-sport athlete for Arizona State. His father is former Major League Baseball outfielder Kenny Williams from Berkeley, CA who played football for Stanford and was on the field for "The Play" in the 1982 Cal-Stanford game.

Dunno, maybe his wife went to Cal...he was from Berkeley, and Cal are the Golden Bears.

I'm thinking Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders. Also thinking Bears, Cubs, Colts, Broncos, Heat, and Sun. I can't find a connection yet. Oh, it will be figured out.

Okay. So apparently, the answer to the riddle is a phrase. (Dunno if it is a known phrase, or if it not a one-word answer)

Well, I started at "the start of steed" because it seemed most out of place, pointed me in the direction of college teams. (St.)
Combined with "With source of heat" (sun) and "fell from the beginning" (devil) I went towards the Arizona State Sun Devils and combined that with 2-sport athletes.
Kyle Williams and Kenny Williams are both 2-sport athletes.
Kenny is the GM of the Chicago White Sox, and Chicago is home to both the Bears and Cubs. And he's from Berkeley, CA home to the Cal Golden Bears.
Might not be right, but it's the best I can do with my rusty Google-Fu. Posts: 5264 | Registered: Jul 2002

Bo Jackson went into business in Scottsdale, Arizona with Valerie Marie LittleChief of the Kiowa tribe and formed N'Genuity Enterprises.
About the Kiowa from Wikipedia:
quote:The word "Kiowa" originated after their migration through what the Kiowa refer to as "The Mountains of the Kiowa." This location is in the present eastern edge of Glacier National Park, Montana, just below the Canadian border. The mountain pass they came through was populated heavily by grizzly bear and Blackfoot people. The Blackfoot word for "grizzly bear" is "Kgyi-yo." Kgyi-yo was corrupted in English as the root translation for the word Kiow-a. Today, Kiowa, Montana is located on the very spot where ancient Kiowa passed through the mountains during their southward migration.

I initially went with constellations. The Athlete is Orion, Ursa is the dipper, and the steed is Pegasus. The fall heat which fell led me to Vega which is the center of all constellations, and is considered to be a second sun. I think Vega in arabic means to fall or something.

"An athlete of both foot and base" seems the most obvious. A dual sport player. But is that an intentional mislead?

Am I the only one who thinks it's a refurbished Care Bear and My Little Pony heat lamp?
