Updated: Coast Guard Calls Off Search for Missing NFL Players
ProFootballTalk.com - REPORT: THREE NFL PLAYERS ON MISSING BOAT
Allegedly one is a Lion and one is a Raider. I put this here because potentially the other missing one could be any other NFL team, including our own.

re: Updated: Coast Guard Calls Off Search for Missing NFL Players
I live close to Va. Beach and every now and then we have someone going out in a boat despite warnings and it ends in tragedy. It's a shame.

Lets hope there is a happy ending but it does not look good at this point. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone and to the Raider and Lion organizations.

re: Updated: Coast Guard Calls Off Search for Missing NFL Players
I used to do a lot of fishing in the gulf when I lived in SW Fl. The weather and water conditions can change in a matter of minutes. I pray these guys are OK. a 21' craft should not have much trouble in a moderate chop. Unless it was a flats. keep these guys in your prayers tonight.

re: Updated: Coast Guard Calls Off Search for Missing NFL Players
I heard them say on ESPNews that the boat they were in was a 21footer...and was almost unsinkable. Let's hope they find them soon. I hate seeing stuff like this happen, i'm sure they will turn up sooner or later.

re: Updated: Coast Guard Calls Off Search for Missing NFL Players
From my experience on the water I'd say the boat has either flipped, filled with warter, or they have lost total power. The reason I say that is I would hope that the boat had a working VHF radio and if they where simply lost they would have had radio contact with them. There is also a chance they don't have a VHF radio on the boat but that would be just crazy. I personaly have two VHF radios. One is a mounted VHF (which if the boat flips on takes on alot of water is useless) and the other is a hand held which floats and is water proof. Both of my VHF radios have a distress button which is pretty standard and when activated sends a signal to all boats, CG, etc... with our location. The reason for the hand held is if the boat sinks I have a back up. The News said it was a foam filled boat so the boat should not sink which is really the only good news so far from this story and could be what saves their life.

Hoping for the very best outcome. Unfortunately, most all of these stories end in tragedy.
