YOU LIKE THAT!?
Well, if you like your hard-nosed, fiery, competitive starting quarterback making a complete ass out of himself, then you probably sure do absolutely like that. During a charity flag football game, Washington Redskins starting quarterback Kirk Cousins apparently really liked shoving an official at the end of the game because OF HIS SUPER COMPETITIVE NATURE!

In the below videos, you can see Cousins shoves an official after a defensive player interferes with the football being thrown to the referee to try and be spotted. [Deadspin]

Deadspin states that a witness who was on the field at the time said Cousins “was super pissed about the delay in spotting the football” and also said he was “legitimately mad and not just playing it up for show.”
The official who claims to be the one who Cousins shoved apparently contacted Deadspin, and this is what he had to say:
I’m the official that Cousins shoved. He was fired up because he was losing and running out of time. Then the other team knocked the ball away while I was trying to set it for play. He wanted me to flag him for swatting it, but what he doesn’t know is that we were enforcing another penalty and it was going to give him another down. He never apologized or even showed any kind of regret. That’s ok though… everyone else gets to see how he is
Man. What a dork. Cousins, that is.
Cousins just played the 2016 football season on the franchise tag and is looking for a long-term deal from the Redskins, and they apparently believe he’ll be their quarterback next season.
