I've been feeling and saying for years that Brandt sounds senile on his late show on Sirius/XM. They make it appear that he recalls all these facts and stats but it's increasingly obvious he's reading them. He rambles and those slots have become a no-fly zone for me, which annoys me since that's usually my go-to channel when I'm driving. Alex Marvez probably deserves a medal for propping him up all this time but maybe now they'll finally shuffle him off to pasture and make that slot listenable again. M, T, Thu 7pm-10pm. I'm almost morbidly curious to hear if callers have to get shut down for blasting Gil live on Monday evening. Maybe that's what it will finally take for NFL Radio to come to their senses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side of a highway is extremely dangerous. We had a friend hit by a box truck on the side of the LIE, similar circumstances to this. Has nothing to do with the state.

My view on that hasn't changed, and every article I've read from reputable news has included some aspect of his poor NFL career in their reporting on who he is/why his death is being reported as news. I am sure Shefty, in his mind, was simply doing the "news reporter" thing. I doubt it was personal or intended to be an insult. 8 minutes ago, HighPitch said: 2. so what if its in florida?

Pass. 8 minutes ago, HighPitch said: 4. Making jokes about him is fed up. Speculating on him being drunk is not. Fair game The lack of reporting on the specifics leads to speculation in odd cases such as this. People want to know why this happened, and in the absence of official word, they'll fill the gaps with speculation, especially in the case of a guy who, despite all the love, was clearly a troubled young man here in his time in DC. With that said, there is no evidence yet that it was anything other than horrifically bad decision making. Never try to cross an active interstate highway. Never. Stay with your car, wait for or flag down or call for help. 8 minutes ago, HighPitch said: 5. what the heck did brandt mean when he alluded to his “lifestyle”? Haskins had issues here in DC with partying and being late night activities kinda guy, reportedly. I can only presume he meant that. Brandt's comments were out of line, far more than Shefty IMO. But he's also seemingly senile and in his 90's, and maybe should never have been on the radio in the first place, all things considered.

Any disrespect felt is the result of a weak mind, not an actual insult. Even if that was true, any family or friends of a lost loved one - particularly one taken so young - are always justified in having a weak mind at that time. Is there something morally wrong with merely mentioning it? Probably not, but the timing in particular doesn't show a lot of class either.
