Former Cowboys executive and SiriusXM NFL analyst Gil Brandt apologized on Saturday afternoon for insensitive remarks he made earlier in the day about Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who was killed early Saturday morning in South Florida.
“I want to apologize to Mr. Haskins’ family and anyone who heard my poor choice of words,” Brandt said. “I truly apologize. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.”
In an appearance Saturday on SiriusXM NFL radio, Brandt spoke disparagingly of Haskins, saying that there was “always something”.
The 90-year-old Brandt received significant criticism for his comments, which led to his apology on Saturday afternoon.
