Default The Lost Three!!

As we all know by now, a story Ive been keeping up with. Very sad. Im talking about the 2 NFL players and 1 Former Flordia College player.

I just wanted to take this time to say that my thoughts are with the families of the lost and the many friends of these guys in the NFL.. very tragic and sad.

what i don't get is why were they out there on such small of a boat. that thing looked like a dingy. you would think NFL players salary would buy a bigger freaking boat. imo
condolences to there familys tho

I feel for anyone that loses a loved one, but everyday 40,000 children die, thousands are killed in wars, die of heart disease and cancer. So in the big picture its really sad that so much attention is thrust upon a situation just because they are semi famous.

UPDATE: Today they called the search off. The one rescued reported that two of the men gave up on surviving and floated out to sea.

he said they just couldn't hold on anymore; I don't do alot off boating but it seems to me with a boat that small, you never put the anchor down in 15' plus waves.
something, if I had a boat, I would know the limits of the darn thing.

Sounds like some bad choices on their part, but like deej said if they weren't semi famous we would of never heard of it most likely.
