Gil is in trouble

[SinceDayOne]

Too early to be making such comments. Insensitive for sure. Rude for sure. Dumb comments all the way around.

I appreciate what he did back in the day for the Cowboys but this taints my opinion of Gil Brandt.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I don't care what Gil Brandt means to Cowboys history.

His comments were rude, insensitive, disrespectful, hateful, ignorant, and downright stupid.

He embarrassed himself and the entire organization. Can't wait for the cheesy apology that's in the works.

Gil’s a guy I respected too. Awful awful comments.

Awful comment yes but was he wrong? If we are really honest who goes jogging on a highway?

Yes he is wrong

saying that he could’ve prevented his death if he would’ve stayed in school is just stupid

there is no “but” here

The bottom line is Haskins is dead, and it's way too soon to be picking apart his decisions. How would Haskins' family and friends feel hearing or reading things like "he should have known better?" It's distasteful and disrespectful; and Brandt should have known better himself. Especially on the radio or wherever he said that.

Dez Bryant earning big respect on Twitter today, calling out certain media.

not sure I agree but let him vent. Getting pissed at Scheffter for saying he was struggling? I cant see whats wrong with saying that.

 

[DallasEast]

A little late and does not erase what was previously said but is an appropriately courtesy follow-up.

 

[G2]

He apologized, now everyone can move the hell on.

 

[Established1971]

It wasn't the truth, genius. It was an old man making assumptions.

the fact you bring up his age as a pejorative says something about yourself Jake, maybe anyway But I do agree that people need to be nice and respectful about this situation.

 

[Cowpolk]

He apologized, now everyone can move the hell on.

Wanna bet?

 

[Starforever]

Hold on. Full stop.

If what Mr. Gil Brandt said turns out to be true (the way Dwayne Haskins was always living on the edge or even getting run over and killed for jogging on a highway), how can anyone blame Mr. Brandt for saying what he said?

Yes, because getting hit and killed by a dump truck is living on the edge. Some of you are straight cold hearted.

Lol sure, Jada

He wasn't "jogging on a highway", for starters.

The incident happened around 6:30 a.m. when Haskins was driving on I-595 going to the airport to return to Pittsburgh and stopped his vehicle to get out when he was hit by a dump truck.

 

[Starforever]

Because in this day and age you're not supposed to tell the truth.

The truth is, some people are true idiots.

There is probably some validity to what he said. During his time with Washington I seem to remember a few stories coming out. It wasn't anything major, but I dont believe he had a history of making great decisions.

That said Gill should've known how insensitive his comments were and now isn't the time. There are people mourning. No need go pour salt in the wound.

Besides that Gill needs to have his facts straight.

 

[Starforever]

I blame this more on the podcast hosts. Why ask an old school, no-nonsense man such a hard question which would require such an honest but brutal answer?

Age is not an excuse.

Calling a person aged 90 "old" is not a pejorative. Unlike Gil's "jogging on the highway" assumption nonsense, calling him old is just a fact.

 

[G2]

Lol sure, Jada

Name calling. The irony of this outrage thread.
Unless you're paying your respects, save the virtue signaling.

 

[Starforever]

LOL hilarious, a thread of people that would have demeaned and HAVE demeaned Haskins, calling him trash and lazy. Now suddenly, when in death, we should pretend to be above this.

Who are you folks trying to impress?

Would your friends and loved ones want you raked over the coals, at the news of your demise?
