Personal
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:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
