This is why you don't let your 16 year old daughter sail around the world alone...

Really? I don't think so. She is 16, history is full of people who have done great things by age 16. I think sometimes kids are sheltered too much and sometimes too little. I think it depends on the person and how mature they are. Some 16 year old girls are way more mature than 22 year old boys. :)

Hope you would say the samething if she was found dead.

Everything I read about this suggests she was not forced into this in any way and is a prodigy sailor.

I say good for her.

From a sailing standpoint she chose the wrong time and route and new this ahead of time. Seems obvious in retrospect.

The issue isn't about her parents forcing her, it's about stopping her.

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL

      1 shot 1 goal tracker

      I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes.

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
