Kirk Cousins, by most accounts, seems like a pretty good dude. That being said, he is extremely competitive and is not afraid to let his emotions show.
Unfortunately, Cousins let is emotions get the best of him on Saturday during a charity flag football game.
Watch as the former Michigan State and current Washington Redskins quarterback shoves a volunteer official.

Deadspin caught up with the official who was shoved by Cousins:
“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.”
