Kirk Cousins isn’t playing outstanding football, but the Washington quarterback has intentionally avoided the criticism he knows is out there.
According to Mike Jones of The Washington Post, Cousins said he’ll sometimes avoid major and local sports networks, instead watching and listening to completely unrelated entities.
“The way that I don’t listen to what they’re saying is, I don’t listen to what they’re saying. I turn on NPR instead of 106.7 or 980 sometimes. I turn on, you know, HGTV instead of ESPN.”
Cousins continued, admitting that it’s relatively easy for him to tune out the negative talk because he doesn’t have an established Internet presence.
