WitP: Colt Brennan, Davone Bess

KGMB's Liz Chun interviews Colt Brennan. The article includes video.
How are you more of an ideal NFL quarterback than you were right out of college?

"I think you grow up, you start to realize the responsibility," Brennan said. "I think I'm starting to learn that and becoming a lot more mature."

Colt's maturity could be tested sooner than later with expected starter Jason Campbell going into the final year of his contract. The situation really throws all the Redskin quarterbacks into a crucial performance test.

"It's actually the best position you could ask for, it's one of those things it's in everyone's hands; for me, all I can control is what I do but I know I'm going to get a ton of time this preseason," he said. "They said they were going to play me and let me get out there and see what I can do."
Thanks to a tip from LizKauai, Matt Terl of the Redskins blog has a post about Colt's appearance on yesterday's Tsai & Wai Show.
If you've been following the ongoing "Cult Of Colt" drama since last preseason, you will be singularly unsurprised to hear that several of the questions are variations on "Hey, why don't you start ahead of Jason Campbell?" and Brennan handles the questions with the same class and understanding of his place in the NFL pecking order.

But he also addresses one of the major knocks on his otherwise stellar college performance, acknowledging that his Hawaii team may have been a little too comfortable just to get to the Sugar Bowl, which he turns into a life lesson for the future: "I can tell you that if I ever get a chance to play in a championship game again," he says, "I know what I'll want to do to prepare for it."
And it doesn't look like Davone Bess will be going after his Twitter impostor.
A pretend match race with Chris Johnson of the Titans is one thing. It's quite another when a fraud is inviting clueless young women to meet him at certain nightclubs while impersonating an NFL receiver.

Speaking of which, Kenny Zuckerman, the agent for Bess (pictured), told me in an email he "[does] not foresee any lawsuit with Twitter or L_Sleazy." It's not just the La Russa outcome, it seems, but the fact such an action "is not really Davone's style," Zuckerman wrote.

Of course it isn't. Davone Bess is a humble, hard-working, fast-rising member of the Dolphins' underrated receiving corps. He isn't a diva receiva', and he would never be caught saying the things his impersonator did online in his name.
