While at Hawaii, Brennan grew dreadlocks to better bond with his wide receivers and learned enough Samoan so that he could use it to call plays from the line of scrimmage; Hawaii has players of Samoan descent.
Brennan was a communications major. On December 16, 2007, Brennan received his Bachelor of Arts in communications and a 27-second standing ovation. Hawaii-based venture capitalist Barry Weinman, wore Brennan's No. 15 jersey while delivering the commencement address at the 2007 graduation.
Brennan was hospitalized and listed in serious condition after he was a passenger in a car crash in Hawaii on November 19, 2010. The accident left him with broken ribs and injuries to his head and collar bone. He was released from Queen's Medical Center on November 27, 2010 and headed to his parents' home in Southern California to continue his recovery.
Brennan was arrested on July 25, 2012 in Kailua, Hawaii on suspicion of driving under the influence and third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug. He was released the next day without charges, pending further investigation, without having to post bail. His attorney said a police officer stopped Brennan for going 10 miles over the speed limit while Brennan was on his way home to Kailua. The attorney said Brennan is still suffering from the brain injury from the November 2010 auto accident in which he was a passenger. Brennan’s father said his son recently moved back to Hawaii to live. It was reported on July 31 that Brennan's blood-alcohol level was 0.17 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving a vehicle, when he was arrested.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“... religion can only change when the emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear remains nearly at the level of the savage.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
