The Hawks had a moment with the trophy in Kinnick Stadium over the weekend.  Did anyone notice if DeSanto was in any of the pictures?

As to the Marinelli injury, I don't know why Brands or Marinelli himself did not say that soon after the tournament. I would not necessarily say it right after the match as that would look like an excuse. But why not the next day?

Because, he really NEVER has acknowledged an injury before now.  That is why this interview is a HUGE surprise to me.  Maybe the fact that Lee came out and openly said what he did finally took away the perceived "ju ju" Brands always seemed to think surrounds acknowledging injuries/illnesses.  To me it was quite refreshing!

He was there with a big ol' cast on his hand/wrist.

It was already out there that day so someone talked about it. Probably wasn't Brands who shared it but that was the buzz going around so wasn't exactly a necessary press release either.
