Warriors in the Pros: Colt, Bess, RGM

Matt Terl of the Redskins blog writes about receiving a card and a box of macadamia nuts from Mazie Hirono, and asking Colt Brennan about it.

So what’s with the macadamia nuts?

I don’t know. That’s a good question. I don’t know the history behind it, but I know that they’re prevalent all over Hawai’i. I don’t know if it’s only the chocolate covered macadamia nuts that have become famous, or the nuts themselves.

Thanks to LizKauai for finding that article.

Omar Kelly of the Sun-Sentinel has an on-camera interview with Davone Bess. He talks about making the team, how his time at UH helped him on the field, and how the fans from Hawaii have supported him.

And Ryan Grice-Mullen is featured in this Vancouver Sun article by Mike Beamish.

Ryan Grice-Mullen, a former University of Hawaii Warrior, is a shadow warrior with the B.C. Lions, though he may be ready to step out of obscurity.

Despite the fact that few Lions fans have heard of him, the 22-year-old receiver who was added to the team's expanded practice roster earlier this month is turning some heads in practice, most notably head coach Wally Buono, director of player personnel Roy Shivers and receivers coach Jacques Chapdelaine.

"We like what we've seen so far," Buono said Thursday. "Obviously, we'd like to extend the process. A lot will depend on what happens after this game [Saturday night against Hamilton at BC Place]."

"He's a very skilled player," Chapdelaine adds. "I hope at some point we get a chance to see him in a game."

"I don't think I've seen him drop one ball since he's been here," Shivers chimes in.
