Posted at 4:42 am | Filed Under Entertainment
Corey Smith of the Detroit Lions and Marquis Cooper of the Oakland Raiders are among a group of four boaters feared drowned yesterday off of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Their boat left Saturday morning and did not return as expected on Saturday evening. A full scale search was issued by the Florida Coast Guard on Sunday afternoon. They are still searching at the time I write this on Monday morning. The other two members of the fishing trip are listed as Will Bleakley and Nick Schuyler – both former players for the University of South Florida football team. Police are searching a roughly 750 square mile area via helicopter and boat.
