Coast Guard Suspends Search For Three Missing Football Players
A couple of days ago I reported on the two NFL players missing at sea off the coast of Florida. Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent Corey Smith, and former college player William Bleakley are the men still missing. Nick Schuyler was the only football player found Monday and was rescued from floating in the water since Saturday afternoon.
Well, as of last night, Tuesday, the US Coast Guard has suspended its search for the three other men. During a news conference today, the Coast Guard announced:
“We’re extremely confident that if there were any survivors on the surface of the water that we would have found them.”
The Guard had done 50 search missions in the last 60 hours. All they found was a cooler and a life jacket. This is some LOST shit. Sad.
