CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - The Coast Guard says it is suspending at
sundown the search for two NFL players and another man whose boat
capsized off Florida's Gulf Coast.
The Coast Guard said Tuesday it doesn't believe anyone is on the
surface of the water.
Crews had narrowed their search for Oakland Raiders linebacker
Marquis Cooper, free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith and
former University of South Florida player William Bleakley after
finding a survivor Monday.
Former South Florida player Nick Schuyler was found clutching to
the boat's hull.
Schuyler told the Coast Guard that the boat was anchored when it
capsized Saturday in high seas.
