Let's allow his family to greive for maybe 5 minutes. It's wholly insensitive. Geesh!
No way man. Let's talk about how he charged people $50 during some rookie symposium allegedly, how he should have stayed in college, and incorrect story about him jogging when he killed. That's what people want to hear hours after his death.

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?
If...is the key. Too soon......he may be right, but too soon and poor choice of words.

True. But Mr. Gil Brandt was invited on a podcast and asked for his opinion.

Is the timing bad? Yes.

Was what he said true or false? Very likely true.

If Dwayne Haskins got killed for being run over because he decided to jog on a highway, well, he did invite death. That's on him. His own actions caused his own death.
I think he could have taken the high road for now and been vague. He chose to let it fly.

Right. This generation is so fragile and thin skinned. Who jogs on the highway?
^^ all this is 100% true. I agree. That doesn't mean you(not YOU) can trash the guy when he's not even buried yet and his family is still grieving. Give them time at least.

Oooof, need to have more tact that that as a media person. Unnecessary to inject that level of reality into a conversation of reflection on a recent tragedy.

There is no break or pause on social media. Surely no family members or close friends are on social media.

I understand and feel for his family...but...it definitely changes things if it turns out to be true that Haskins loved to live on the edge. Seriously, what does one expect when someone decides to go jogging on a highway in a big city in Florida, especially this time of year?

Probably not the best time to to give an unfiltered opinion of Haskins, but I didn’t see too much wrong with what he said.

Gil is what, 85-90? Senior citizens are not known for restraining their opinions.
Right. And the older you get the less filtered you become.

Once farting in public is accepted behavior it kinda lowers the bar on all filtering.
