>> Devin: WE BEGIN WITH A
TRAGEDY DOWNRIVER.
A BOAT CAPSIZES IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE DETROIT RIVER AND NOW THE

ILE TONIGHT WITH MORE.
>> Victor: AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND
ME, THE COAST GUARD IS STILL
SEARCHING FOR THE TWO MEN WHO
WENT MISSING HERE IN THE DETROIT
RIVER AFTER THE BOAT CAPSIZED.
AT THIS POINT, THEY’VE BEEN
SEARCHING FOR 24 HOURS WITH NO
END IN SIGHT.
SUNDAY EVENING, THEY’VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR TWO MEN IN THE
GROSSE ILE AREA.
14 PEOPLE WERE ORIGINALLY ON
BOARD THE 39-FOOT BOAT WHEN FOR
SOME UNKNOWN REASON, IT TIPPED
OVER.
A BOATER SAW EVERYTHING
HAPPENING.
TWO PEOPLE WENT UNDERWATER AND
NEVER CAME UP, A 52-YEAR-OLD MAN
WHO LIVES OFF THE WATER AND THEY
USED HIS BOAT HOUSE AS THE
MAKESHIFT HEADQUARTERS.
AND THE OTHER PERSON IS
66-YEAR-OLD STEVEN ROONEY WHO IS
A PRIEST OF A CHURCH IN TRENTON.
THEY WON’T STOP UNTIL THE
MISSING MEN HAVE BEEN FOUND.
AND WE WANT TO CLARIFY, WE’RE
ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 2 HOURS AWAY
FROM THE 24-HOUR POINT.
THE BOAT HAS BEEN RETRIEVED AND
IT’S IN STORAGE.
IT’S BELIEVED THEY’RE GOING TO
TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE ON THE
WATER.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THEM OUT
THERE THAT ROLLED THROUGH PARTS
OF SANILAC AND ST. CLAIR COUNTY

RAINDROPS WEST OF PORT HURON,
AND A BATCH ON THE LAKE ST.
CLAIR SHORELINE MOVING OUT
TOWARD THE LAKE.
VERY FEW OF US ARE SEEING WET
WEATHER RIGHT NOW.
MOST OF US UNDER DRY CONDITIONS.

STILL RUNNING THE SHOW.
THIS WILL LEAD RIGHT INTO THE
REGULAR SEASON AS PART OF THE

TIME.

VIRUS AND STAYING SAFE.
T.J. HOCKENSON TESTED POSITIVE
AND WOUND UP ON THE COVID-19
LIST IN JULY AND HE SAID IT
WASN’T FUN.
>> PRETTY LONELY, REALLY.
THERE WASN’T A LOT GOING ON.
I FORTUNATELY DIDN’T HAVE ANY
SYMPTOMS AND IT WAS KIND OF A
SURPRISE, YOU KNOW, TO TEST
POSITIVE FOR THAT.
AND SPENT A WEEK AWAY FROM THE
TEAMMATES WAS TOUGH.
>> Jamie: SAME FOR KENNY
GOLLADAY WHO SAID HIS SYMPTOMS
WERE MILD.
>> A FEVER THAT LASTED TWO DAYS,
NOTHING MAJOR.
I’M 100% AND HAPPY TO BE OUT
THERE RIGHT NOW.
THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> Jamie: NOW THAT FOOTBALL IS
BACK, IT’S ALL ABOUT BEING COVID
SMART, WHICH IS A DANNY SHELTON
TERM.
>> YOU GUYS, MASK UP.
>> Jamie: AND THE LIONS ARE
TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.
SOMEONE CAME UP TO WHERE THE
MEDIA WAS OUTSIDE AND SAID, ARE
YOU SITTING FAR ENOUGH APART,
ARE YOU WEARING YOUR MASK?
I THOUGHT, WHO WAS THIS PERSON?
IT WAS BOB QUINN BECAUSE I
COULDN’T TELL WITH A MASK UP TO
HERE AND A HAT DOWN TO HERE.
THEY’RE BEING SAFE AND THEY
THINK THEY WILL HAVE A SEASON.
>> Bernie: THAT’S GOOD NEWS.
MAKE SURE THEY WEAR THE MASKS,
IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS
THING DONE.
