Cozart appreciates chance to come back, throw at KU pro day
“It was actually probably like two weeks ago. I came up here to check out the new indoor [facility] and I came to catch spring practice before they went on Spring Break,” former KU quarterback Montell Cozart told Phog.net shortly after the Jayhawks' pro day. “[Director of football communications] Katy Lonergan had reached out to me, asked me if I’d be interested in coming back and throwing. I told her, ‘Without a doubt.’ I didn’t hesitate, and I told her, ‘Yes, I would love to come back and throw with these guys.’”

While the common response to a season-ending loss like the one the Kansas men’s basketball team suffered nearly two weeks in Salt Lake City is to get in the gym and get after it harder than ever so nothing like that ever happens again, KU coach Bill Self has advised a slightly different approach for the current Jayhawks.

Donald Trump Is Never More Donald Trump Than When He's Cheating At Golf
A portrait emerges. Trump tees off first and then tootles down the fairway in his golf cart, where he either kicks his drive onto the fairway or just plays a ball hit by someone else in his party; people that play with him are forever arriving to find that Trump has chucked their ball into a bunker—this apparently happened to Mike Tirico during a cursed round that he and Ron Jaworski played against Trump and Jon Gruden—or miraculously discovered that a ball Trump hit into a water hazard has emerged, dry, on the other side. Trump loves to declare himself the winner of the championships at his various clubs, and awarded himself a club senior championship at the course he owns in Bedminster, New Jersey, despite not even playing in the event; he took the score he claimed from a round he played at the Trump Philadelphia club that day, transposed it to Bedminster, an entirely different course, and gave himself a trophy. “A caddy tells Reilly that Trump’s golf cart once contained a can of red spray paint, and that Trump marked trees his balls hit with a red ‘X,’” Curtis writes. “The trees were removed the next day.”
