Detroit Lion, 2 Oakland Raiders gone missing off Gulf Coast
ABC Nation News reports that one Lions player and two Raiders are on a boat in Clearwater, Florida that has gone missing.
The Coast Guard is searching for the 21-foot fishing boat, which is thought to be about 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The players' names have not been disclosed. There were originally four people aboard. They were supposed to return at 1:30AM last night, but never came in. The Coast Guard believes the boat is in distress and waters in the gulf are "extremely choppy."

Some people might be dead and you just care that it's not a star player. Classy.

On March 1, 2009, the U.S. Coast Guard reported that a 21-foot fishing boat was missing in the Gulf Coast near Clearwater Pass, Florida. The boat was reportedly carrying 4 passengers, including Cooper, Detroit Lion Corey Smith and 2 others. The four men left Clearwater Pass on February 28 at 6:30 a.m. and were expected to return later that night. The Coast Guard began searching for the missing boat shortly after midnight on March 1, 2009. As of 12:42 p.m. local time on March 1, 2009 the boat had not been located.
Found that on wikipedia so who knows how accurate that is but geez I hope everyone is alright.

The first and only thing you mention on your first post was that you hope your only star player wasn't on that boat. You didn't say nothing about wishing for everyone's well being.
That is a real classless comment considering this situation. Then again I wouldn't know how to be classy either if my team was the Detroit LOLns.

It sounds like the reports are true. Corey Smith from the Lions and Marquis Cooper of the Raiders. No big names, but NFL players none the less. At this point if they haven't been found and haven't made contact with anyone about being missing, you can almost assume the worst. The coast guard has been looking for them for about 10 hours already....and they were supposed to return home at dark yesterday.

Yeah I thought of Hill from NE the minute I heard this story. Hopefully this doesnt get that bad but these boat travels are getting almost as bad as players going to clubs/getting in a gun altercation.

Hope they are found. I would guess a rogue wave did that. I actually am interested in that phenomena. All it takes is one wave in bad conditions. I hope they are ok.

I imagine it's extremely rough out there, since yesterday it's been EXTREMELY windy here in New Orleans, windier than I can remember in a long time.... not that far away from here.
Hope they are all ok.

Sort of like when the plain crashed outside of NY after 911 and the news person was so relieved it wasnt a terrorist attack.
