Brennan: Life's not fair
February 22, 2008 12:14 PM
Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan just wrapped up what will likely be the longest interview session of the combine. Brennan spent most of his 45 minutes talking about his 2004 arrest for burglary and trespassing at the University of Colorado. In case you've never heard the story, a drunken Brennan walked into a female student's dorm room uninvited, and was later sentenced to seven days in jail and four years probation.
Brennan is also answering a lot of questions about his relative lack of size and strange arm motion. He said the time he spent salvaging his college career after the 2004 incident has prepared him for the scrutiny he's now facing.
"To here the criticism, it almost puts me at ease," he said. "What I went through was a great learning ground for what the NFL will be like. The situation is a positive now."
But if Brennan handles his team interviews like he handled the media today, I think he'll have some problems. He talked about turning his crime into a positive, but then he kept dwelling on the fact that he was treated unfairly after being convicted. Teams don't want to hear a bunch of whining.
