I agree that you can do everything right as a parent and the kid can still turn into a bad apple but the chances are better that the kid will turn out ok. Its just hard to say but knowning the amount of time one spends to run a team or be a coach in the NFL one has to wonder how that effected his kids. I think as this progresses it could lead to him retiring if he decides that him being gone could have played a role in this. He has been in the league for how many years? Alot and thats alot of time from home and alot of time for kids to do what they do when dads not around. The weard thing is that bothe happened on the same day. Yes I do have a 21 year old daughter so I know how it can be. I was lucky that my daughter was one that turned out the way she did.
