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 know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general: he would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I am in no boastful mood. I shall not do more than I can, and I shall do all I can to save the government, which is my sworn duty as well as my personal inclination. I shall do nothing in malice. What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all—no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself—a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
