Gil is in trouble

[Motorola]

Dont know the story keeps changing

Perhaps everyone should refrain from commenting until tomorrow.
Allow the authorities investigating to review the circumstances and facts surrounding the accident overnight - then come to the accurate conclusion to present to the news / public on Sunday.

There appears to be much worse comments Gil could have said if it was indeed a Dump-truck which hit Haskins.

 

[Cowpolk]

Need to hear what the truck driver has to say

It's obviously mocking what is being said in this thread. I dislike how everyone suddenly finds their morality again after Haskins was labeled everything under the sun from lazy, entitled, and immature and a bust of a QB - then suddenly when he dies, it's glowing. Maybe people should remember to say kinder things when someone is alive rather than when in death?

Also there is a lack of actual honesty in the media. We tend to ask for that, and then when someone speaks what is on their mind, the public just can't handle it. I think the only thing wrong here with Gil is that he should wait until all information comes out, Haskins seemed to be an immature idiot but that doesn't mean he was at complete fault for his death, even if it is looking that way.

I think the implication from alot of people was that Gil was stupid.....which he was.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Haskins, Gil's comment also lacked moral decency. If you are defending that, I feel very sorry you

I'm confused here.

I don't see anyone saying "glowing" things of Haskins as a football player or a person. I just see people showing respect and decency for a young man that lost his life.

 

[Miller]

Oh boy

Disgusting. Time to go away Gil. No
Excuse for this even if you agree somehow. There is something called decorum. Gil lost it.

If someone said almost these exact comments about Irvin and about his cocaine usage on the day of his death, you’d have a different tune

Not me, I'd bust a fat rail in honor of Mike, shoot I'd even make an 88 out of an 8 ball

 

[G2]

People have said worse here, I don't get all the virtue signaling.

Just because he wasnt good at his job that does not define him as a man or a son. And to tear down his character hours after his death is just being a scumbag and something you wouldnt have the heart to say in person.

 

[Jake]

Oh boy

He should be fired immediately. I don't care if he's in the Cowboys ROH. As an Ohio State alumnus, and a human being, I have no time left for Gil.

 

[Jake]

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?

First off, he wasn't "jogging on the highway". Second, the man's body is still warm.

Time to put the ignore function to work, going through this thread. Some people showing me who they really are, and not in a good way.

 

[Birch_Wood]

You have to have tact. The guy just died and his fans and family are in mourning. Just shouldn't say things like that.

I get it. There's a way and a time that things like that are better said. But I've watched as my father has lost all filtering of his words. As you get older seems to be a thing for some folks. If it rolls through my father's head he most likely will say it. I think we have to give those advanced in years some slack also.

 

[Jake]

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

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

 

[darthseinfeld]

Alot of that going around on the internet

No, I think people decided to get on a high horse when they have commented far worse things than Gil has on this very forum about people that are alive. As I said, just a day ago Haskins was considered a lazy bust and entitled, now suddenly it's all kind words? Nah, homie don't play that. Just start being more honest rather than looking good on the interwebz for anons.

So, I will repeat - when someone is alive, calling the man a bum, a bust, lazy, entitled, etc. that's fine. The moment they die, it's hands off?

Spoken like a true Twitter Warrior

 

[ShortRound]

Gil may be 1000% right. That is immaterial. The timing was sickening and uncalled for. Maybe he had a brainfart. Dude is 90.

I think it was an inner voice kind of thought lol. Just hold it for a day or two.

 

[Jake]

Does he know the truth?

Haskins wasn't "jogging on the highway" so the answer is no.

Lol bashing man about his job while he was alive is one thing. Doing it when he just died when you dont know the man personally hours after he died is another. Your parents failed frfr
