Backup punter gets 7 years for stabbing starter
Associated Press
GREELEY, Colo. - Former Northern Colorado backup punter Mitch Cozad was sentenced to seven years in prison Tuesday for stabbing a rival in what prosecutors said was a brutal attempt to take over the starter's role.
"Clearly, this was deliberate to hurt him, and you succeeded,'' Weld County District Judge Marcelo Kopcow told Cozad as he announced the sentence.
"The goal is to not ruin your life,'' Kopcow said. ``I would like you to succeed in your life.''
