| | Football Ex-Oilers receiver Drew Hill dies at 54 ATLANTA (UPI) -- Former Houston Oilers all-pro receiver and fan favorite Drew Hill has died in Atlanta at age 54, media reports said Saturday.
Hill, who gained at least 1,000 yards in five of his seven years with the Oilers from 1985 to 1991, died late Friday at Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital after suffering a pair of strokes Thursday, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
He was first stricken while playing golf in the Atlanta area, the newspaper said.
Hill teamed with quarterback Warren Moon and in the late 1980s to fuel its "run-and-shoot" offense, in which Moon hooked up with Hill and fellow receivers Ernest Givins, Haywood Jeffires and Curtis Duncan to form a powerful aerial attack.
Hill, a Georgia Tech product, hauled in 64 passes for 1,169 yards and nine touchdowns in 1985, his first with the Oilers.
"I'm shocked," Moon told The Houston Chronicle. "I can't believe it. Drew meant so much to us as a player and as a person. I counted on him so much. He was the consummate professional. It's just so sad."

| | Golf Rose grabs 3rd-round Transitions lead TAMPA, Fla. (UPI) -- Justin Rose fired a 6-under-par 65 Saturday, charging into the lead after three rounds of the Transitions Championship in Florida.

Knotted in second place at minus-12 were Brendon de Jonge, who birdied the final hole to complete a round of 5-under 66, and Webb Simpson, who collected birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 en route to his third straight 4-under 67.
Scott Stallings notched a hole-in-one on No. 8 on his way to a 5-under 66 and a share of fourth place with Gary Woodland (67) at minus-11.
Second-round co-leaders Garrett Willis and Chris Couch both carded 1-under 70s, part of a sixth-place group that includes Nick Watney (66) and Brandt Snedeker (67).

| | Hockey NHL: Columbus 5, Minnesota 4 (OT) ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -- Antoine Vermette scored on a Minnesota turnover with 34 seconds left in overtime Saturday, handing the Columbus Blue Jackets a 5-4 victory.
Wild defenseman Brent Burns partially fanned on a clearing attempt from behind his own net, putting the puck right on the stick of Vermette. The Blue Jackets' center fired it past Niklas Backstrom for the game-winner.
The overtime goal salvaged only the second win in 11 games for Columbus, which had squandered a two-goal lead late the contest.
Rick Nash scored two goals and added a pair of assists, Sami Lepisto contributed three helpers and Mathieu Garon stopped 32-of-36 shots for the Blue Jackets.
Antti Miettinen and Pierre-Marc Bouchard each scored in the final 5:07 of regulation to rally the Wild, but they couldn't finish and fell to 2-6-2 in their last 10 games.
Backstrom ended with 28 saves for the Minnesota.
