Wordless Wednesday - Naufahu Tahi & Brett Favre (Minnesota Vikings)

HFF Picks for NFL Sunday
Jan 17th
Well we know at this point that New Orleans and Indianapolis are on their way to their respective conference championships but their opponents are to be decided today. Hmm. . my picks thus are, let me see, Vikings and Jets! Yes, I’ll go against the grain and go with these two!! I’m a big Eagles fan so naturally Dallas is a hard sell, Polynesian Naufahu Tahi and I love Brett Favre.
NY Jets, obviously because UH Warrior Football assistant coach, Rich Miano, played for the Jets & Eagles but we have UH Alum #78 Wayne Hunter and fellow Polynesians, #91 Sione Pouha & #79 Ropati Pitoitua on the Jets squad.
Alright then, Go Vikings! and Go Jets!
HFF Monday Night Preview: Indianapolis Colts @ Miami Dolphins
Sep 21st
Reminder tonight on Monday Night Football (ESPN). At Miami, former Hawaii Warrior, Davone Bess, is slowly blazing his own trail. Polynesian defensive product, Paul Soliai, will continues to impress for a backup nose tackle position behind Jason Ferguson. Bess looked great so far as he gains Chad Pennington’s trust.
Bess may have to face the Colts Polynesian trio of MLB Freddie Keiaho, FS Aaron Francisco (BYU & Kahuku High Alumnus) and DT Fili Moala. They are all contending for starter spots so this game will be important in their quest to move up the depth chart. Francisco who was recently released from the NFC Champions Arizona Cardinals, will hopefully get some playing time.
Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins - Offense
#15 WR Davone Bess (University of Hawai’i)

#54 MLB Freddie Keiaho (San Diego State).

Labor Day Weekend Time Off
Sep 8th
E kala mai to all Hawaii Football Fanatics Blog Fans. I took some time off this weekend to spend time with family and friends since returning to isles. Lots of college football action this weekend. Upsets galore! Yikes! and BYU beating Oklahoma was awesome! The only disappointment I had was with UH’s somewhat lackluster performance against Central Arkansas and Oregon’s loss to Boise State. On one side it was good for the WAC but bad since lots of Polynesians and islanders at Oregon.
I’ll be back on the “post wagon” this week and I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.
Mahalo!
