Lunchtime musical interlude: Girls (at least this one) rule

Here's another YouTube phenomena. About a week ago, Ken Mann, of Coral Springs, Fla., posted an old home movie of daughter Carly playing flag football when she was 9 years old. Since then, the Carly highlight reel has raced across cyberspace like Reggie Bush in the open field.

I talked with Mr. Mann earlier today to help give the old video some context. The football scenes are from 1991, and Carly was the only girl in the league (and the No. 1 draft pick), according to her father. She played high school basketball and tennis but gave up organized sports when she attended the University of Florida. Carly, now 25, lives on the West Coast, where she works in the entertainment management industry and is currently traveling in Israel. More recently, she has limited her sports involvement to rec league basketball.

However, as a 9-year-old, she was NFL Films material.

This video is spreading like crazy through the Austin business community. Leno or Letterman should find this woman and book her for an appearance asap.

If she's in entertainment management, it wouldn't hurt her career!

As I mentioned, she's a young adult now and has been playing rec league basketball. Of course, the curious thing about all this is how people can become instant celebrities by virtue of YouTube. That Andy Warhol was on the money, wasn't he.
