Gil is in trouble

[shabazz]

I'm still good at doing dumb stuff Have even been hit by a Silverado

……so a Ford wasn’t good enough? hater

I'm all for telling the truth, but when death is involved, can we just wait at least a few days? Thats all Im sayin.

Tend to agree with you. You can tell the truth and all that crap in a day or so. But the desire to quickly just dump on the guy hours after his death is just peculiar to me. But frankly, I am no longer surprised by the lack of any tact or even sanity in American society.

Oh boy

little bit harsh, should have just refrained to be a kind token, and just said Hasikins RIP.

It's not complicated, Gil (and some folks here).

I just spout things out too. When I was younger the exes granny died on my granny’s birffday. While we were all gathered round her corpse I told my chick that if we’re still gonna go to my grandmas house for birthday cake. I got a what is wrong with you attitude from the whole family until the funeral home came with the van.

We have a “rush to the microphone first with a hot take!” culture in the US.

Decades of shock jocks, “news” anchors, podcasts, and streamers have created a toxic soup of “commentary” on anything and everything.

It’s times like this when it’s better to be quiet than to offer up an opinion on a young man’s life and choices. Gil has done a lot of good over the years for the sport— but in this case— “read the room” bro.

Bet it was the best cake ever.

Don't worry Gil, you're in your 80's. You have a get out of jail card.

 

[kumizi]

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

What a terrible take. Not speaking ill of the dead unless they were absolute a**holes is not a “this day and age” thing. It’s been a thing for generations.

There's Gil Brandt's opinion, then there's TJ Watt's opinion.

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.

There's a huge difference between respecting the family of the dead before making assumptions and lying about chemical weapons in Iraq.

This thread already has more replies than the Dwayne Haskins thread. Decide for yourselves what that means.

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

Sorry.....Gil saw this coming....and no one listened. Haskins needed help/and time to develop.....and he was rushed through the process because of the NFL's greed.

All this hate towards Gil is unfounded _ _ _ _ _ hate.

Maybe next time people will listen....But I doubt it.

It's sad that a guy lost his life.....but it sure sounds like it was his choice. It didn't have to end this way.

The predictable hot take.

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

One of them the same media that lied about a video tape pertaining to Dez?

I have to assume this is a weak attempt at trolling.

 

[Vtwin]

The family wouldn't even know about this if the media jackals weren't falling all over themselves to "report" it.

Gil said something inappropriate = true.

Media vultures broadcasting the inappropriate comments all over the world as fast as they can = true

Us buying what they are selling, i.e. condoning it = true.

Ain't nobody better than anyone else in this triangle.

Perfectly said. That’s someone’s child…..

Look who’s doing it. One of the resident trolls…..

Only time you show up is when a athlete dies to gloat…you’re sick.
