The smell of football season to come

I'm too sleepy to complete this entry but I will start with some of my favorite Washington Redskins cartoons by Jorge. See them at http://www.goskins.org/



(If you don't know the Redskins... this player's name is BETTS. His preseason game jersey ID was misspelled... and the Redskins did not play well -vs- the Ravens.)



Colt Brennan and Chase Daniel with the Cooley Zone - reflections of a Redskins NFL sophomore and rookie after the Steelers preseason game.

Our Hawaii Warrior Season Tickets have arrived!

This year, I am in the blue section- which means a horizontal walk around Aloha Stadium rather than a vertical spiral into yellow.

Go Warriors!

Gracious

Gracious is the word I associate with Colt Brennan.

On the field, guiding the University of Hawaii to two of the best football seasons in history

and his preseason rookie debut with the NFL Washington Redskins last year it was GOOD GRACIOUS!

Check out his snap-passes during this fun segment with Antwaan Randel-El and the Redskins recievers.

Off the field, he appears cordial from afar.

In person, he is Mr. Gracious.

Observation: Colt is a focused person. When he is doing something, he is in the moment. On the field, he does his job until coach tells him to sit down or they have to carry him off. Off the field, at a fan appreciation function, he is 100% there for you as a fan until his managers gently escort him to the next spot.

Outstanding. Gracious. Generous. Humble. Just another local boy whose parents brought him up right.

 Kudos to Betsy and Terry Brennan- and his sisters!

++++++++

I actually was privileged to meet MANY gracious people on Thursday:

Governor Lingle at the Chamber luncheon, Ashley Lelie, Davone Bess

Ryan Mouton, the Tsai-kos,  3 generations of McMackins

 

Stephen Tsai and Coach Mack, chief blog lurker and Chevron sponsor, and Go! flight attendant  Patrick and a pilot- without whom, I would have been stuck on Kauai.
