On Saturday, four men set out to sail on Florida's Gulf Coast, and when they did not return at dusk as expected, search teams were called out. Two days later, one survivor was found. After several days of searching, the other three men - two of which were NFL football players - are now presumed to be dead.

Nick Schuyler, 24, the lone survivor of the tragic boat trip said that the men had tried to pull their anchor out of the water when a strong wave flipped their boat. He told officials that the others had been clinging to the vessel for at least eight hours until they became separated overnight.

Schuyler also said that the men were not wearing life jackets at the time the boat capsized, but they did swim underneath to retrieve them and put them on. They pulled out four life jackets, and all four put them on.

Schuyler was rescued on Monday, and after continued searching throughout the day did not turn up any of the other three men, officials said Tuesday that they were ending the search.

The U.S. Coast Guard now says that it found an overturned boat off Florida's Gulf Coast belonging to Oakland Raiders linebacker Victor "Marquis" Cooper. One survivor - former University of South Florida football player Nick Schuyler- was also found clinging to the vessel.

According to the Coast Guard, three other men are still missing - Cooper, Detroit Lions free agent Corey Smith, and former USF player William Bleakley.

Local television coverage showed Schuyler being helped out of a Coast Guard helicopter at Tampa General Hospital.

The four men were reported missing Sunday after failing to return at dusk Saturday as they had been expected to do. The Coast Guard has searched 16,000 square miles off Florida's Gulf Coast so far.

A Coast Guard search got underway on Sunday looking for four football players whose fishing boat disappeared off the coast of Florida on Saturday. The boating group included two professional NFL football players - Detroit Lions free agent Corey Smith, 29, and Oakland Raiders linebacker Victor ("Marquis") Cooper, 26.

Nick Schuyler and William Bleakley, former University of South Florida football players, were also on board Cooper's boat.

A friend of the players notified the Coast Guard around 1:30am Sunday to report that the boat had not returned to harbor at dusk, as had been expected. The men set out on the boating excursion at 6:30am Saturday from Clearwater Pass in an 21-foot Everglades boat.

At the time, the skies were fair. However forecasters were warning of bad weather heading into the Gulf of Mexico. The Coast Guard said that they had not received a distress call.

The search began at 2:00am. The Coast Guard deployed a 47-foot lifeboat, a C-130 Hercules fixed-wing aircraft, an HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter, and the Coast Guard Cutter Crocodile. The search covered about 750 square miles of choppy ocean water.

Just met LT, the old school, lawrence Taylor. Expect to see him in prime time soon. Can't say where but he better work on his foot work.

# And now the good news IOC says phelps apology is good enough. Accourding (sic) to a UK rueters article 12:12 PM Feb 2nd from TwitterFon

@michael_phelps got your back brother

This is the second time this week that Twitter has been in the news for celebrity users spreading news on the site. As we reported yesterday, R&B star Erykah Badu gave a blow by blow description of her birth of her baby on the site live yesterday using the service.

If you watched the Super Bowl, you were not alone. Over 151 viewers tuned into the game making it the most watched program in United States history. This is the second straight year that the marquee NFL game set record viewership as 148.3 million tuned into last years NY Giants-New England Patriots game.

"It's always incredibly satisfying to amass large audiences, but this television record simply reaffirms the power of the Super Bowl and the National Football League," said Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics. "Everyone associated with the NFL should feel a great sense of pride in this accomplishment and in providing a day of enjoyment to American families -- especially those who are struggling in these difficult times."

Viewers of at least one network in Arizona last night during the Super Bowl boradcast were treated to a full 30-seconds of graphic pornography during the last minutes of the game.

After the last touchdown by the Arizona Cardinals, Comcast cable viewers in Tucson watching the Super Bowl on KVOA-TV got their video feeds switched to a scene from a pornographic movie that was playing on the channel Club Jenna.

Gizmodo has a very NSFW video of what exactly was shown. KVOA issued a statement which said that they would "investigate what happened and make sure our viewers get answers."

Now that's far worse than Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl.

Others with Ohio Roots Had a Big Footprint in the Pittsburgh Super Bowl Victory

While the Pittsburgh Steelers may have won the Super Bowl, they couldn't have done so without a lot of Buckeye roots. The games MVP was awarded to Santonio Holmes who starred at Ohio State University. Holmes 9 passes for 131 including the game winner with only 35 seconds left that clinched the 27-23 win. He was hardly the only person with Ohio roots who can be attributed to the big win.
