Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins may be the most relatable NFL player in the league.
The longtime signal caller revealed in the latest season of the Netflix docuseries “Quarterback” that he prefers to get his hair cut at “Great Clips,” an American hair saloon chain with over 4,500 locations across the country.
As Cousins explained it, there are locations pretty much anywhere he travels, and the process is relatively hassle-free.

“I go to one place, and that’s Great Clips, ‘cause I can just go on the app,” Cousins said in the third episode. “I can see what the wait is. If the wait time is under 15 minutes, I just sign up and then I can just drive there, and walk right in and get right in the chair.”
Perhaps the only unrelatable part of the Cousins’ haircut experience is that he references his own NFL headshot when telling the stylist what he’s looking for.
“This is what I’m looking for,” Cousins says as he pulls up his Falcons’ headshot. “It’s like a one, and then you fade it up.”
KIRK COUSINS ADMITS TO FEELING ‘MISLED’ BY FALCONS IN NEW DOCUSERIES: ‘I HAD NO REASON TO LEAVE MINNESOTA’
“Now I start just holding up a picture – I took a picture from one of the headshots from a Falcons game program, and I just say, ‘Can you do this?’ And that usually helps eliminate any gray area.”
In the clip, Cousins tells the stylist “I’ve been trusting ‘Great Clips’ for a long time.”
“I kind of live all over the country, so I just kind of Google the nearest ‘Great Clips’ and make it work.”
Cousins, who is in the second year of his four-year, $180 million deal with Atlanta, said the entire process is a bit of a “rush” for him.
“The biggest challenge is when you don’t have the same person,” Cousins said with a smile. “You just don’t know what you’re gonna get.”
Cousins went 7-7 and threw for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in his first season with the Falcons before being benched in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has expressed support for the work performed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and condemned any calls to put the kibosh on the federal law enforcement agency.
“ICE performs an important job for our country,” he declared in a post on X, describing “Any calls to abolish ICE” as “inappropriate and outrageous.”
Multiple Republican lawmakers agreed with Fetterman.

“Amen,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a post when retweeting his Democratic colleague’s post.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., also expressed agreement with Fetterman’s comments.
“Seconded,” a post on Lee’s @SenMikeLee X account that retweeted Fetterman declares.
“I concur. Thank you Senator,” Mace noted when retweeting Fetterman’s post.

The post on Fetterman’s @SenFettermanPA X account echoed comments the senator had made previously.
“ICE agents are just doing their job,” he told Fox News’ Tyler Olson, adding, “I fully support that.” Regarding any Democrats who want to abolish ICE or “treat them as criminals,” Fetterman decried that as “inappropriate” as well as “outrageous.”
But Fetterman has also expressed support for the prospect of amnesty for migrant workers.

It has been a mixed bag for MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, two months into her new gig.
Psaki, the press secretary for former President Joe Biden — who has insisted she never witnessed signs of decline while she worked for him — saw an increased role as part of MSNBC’s overhaul when programming changes were announced earlier this year.
Psaki took over MSNBC’s coveted 9 p.m. ET timeslot on Tuesday through Fridays in May as “The Rachel Maddow Show” returned to only airing on Mondays. Maddow had temporarily returned to airing five nights a week during President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office.
“The Briefing with Jen Psaki” averaged 1.1 million total viewers from its May 6 debut through July 3, losing 44% of the 1.8 million that Maddow – and a few January shows hosted by Alex Wagner – pulled in at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday through Fridays throughout 2025.
FOX NEWS LEAVES RIVALS IN THE DUST WITH HISTORIC Q2 RATINGS, POSTS VIEWERSHIP WINS OVER ABC, NBC, CBS
Psaki wasn’t expected to compete with Maddow, who is MSNBC’s biggest star by a wide margin, from a ratings standpoint off the bat. However, “Alex Wagner Tonight,” which aired in the 9 p.m. ET timeslot on Tuesday through Fridays throughout 2024, also topped Psaki.
“Alex Wagner Tonight” averaged 1.2 million total viewers from May 6 through July 3 last year, which is 17% more than Psaki’s 2025 viewership.
Psaki also shed “Alex Wagner Tonight” viewers among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as “The Briefing” has averaged only 90,000 viewers from the critical group.
Last year, “Alex Wagner Tonight” averaged 123,000 demo viewers from May 6 through July 3. But MSNBC aired three primetime specials during that time and Maddow’s presence on the panel shows significantly boosted “Alex Wagner Tonight” ratings among both total viewers and the demo.
Through two months, Psaki has drawn less than half the audience of Fox News Channel’s 9 p.m. ET offering, “Hannity,” which has averaged 2.9 million viewers since May 6. Psaki has managed to thump timeslot competition on ratings-challenged CNN among total viewers, as “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” has averaged a dismal 543,000 viewers since “The Briefing” debuted on MSNBC.
However, the former Biden press secretary is trailing CNN in the key demo.
BIDEN-ERA WHITE HOUSE REPORTERS EXPRESS DISBELIEF ON KARINE JEAN-PIERRE’S SUDDEN PARTY SWITCH
“The Source with Kaitlan Collins” outdrew MSNBC’s “The Briefing” by managing 108,000 demo viewers on Tuesdays through Fridays since Psaki moved to 9 p.m. ET.
Fox News’ “Hannity” averaged 344,000 demo viewers during the same time period.
Psaki also trails cable news competitors among younger viewers aged 18-49, averaging 62,000 compared to 219,000 for “Hannity” and 70,000 for CNN’s “The Source.”
MSNBC insiders point to “The Briefing” being the network’s No. 3 most-watched daily program despite only being on-air for two months as a sign that Psaki will find success at 9 p.m. ET.
“The Briefing” has built on the audience of its lead-in, “All in with Chris Hayes,” which “Alex Wagner Tonight” failed to do in 2024. This has occurred as MSNBC has lost viewers overall.
Psaki improved in her second month in the timeslot, as “The Briefing” averaged 973,000 total viewers in May compared to a smidge over one million in June for an 8% uptick and gained 17% in the demo. Despite the loss to CNN, “The Briefing” is MSNBC’s No. 2 program in the demo, while Wagner’s show was the network’s eighth best in the critical category during the same time period last year.
JEN PSAKI, THE EX-BIDEN FLACK WHO DEFENDED HIS MENTAL FITNESS, LAUNCHES EXPANDED ROLE AT MSNBC
Psaki served as Biden’s first press secretary from January 2021 until May 2022, and her defense of the White House made her popular with MSNBC progressives before she landed at the network. CNN also had discussions about bringing her on board.
The launch of “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” coincided with a news cycle that wasn’t particularly flattering for former Biden officials, as anticipation for the book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” put questions about Biden’s fitness for office at the forefront.
It remains to be seen if Psaki can fill the shoes of Maddow, but the latter certainly hurt MSNBC by deciding “The Rachel Maddow Show” would only air on Mondays.

WWE star Drew McIntyre returned to the ring on “Friday Night SmackDown” last week wearing a shirt he longed to have created.
McIntyre wore a T-shirt with the words “Bored At Work” on the front.
It was from the famous social media post he fired off at WrestleMania 40 during his world heavyweight championship match against Seth Rollins. He wrote it again during his match against Damian Priest during their WrestleMania 41 match, this time adding an “lol” to the end.

“I’m persistent when I know something is gonna work, when I know something clicks,” he told Fox News Digital about finally getting the shirt made. “And, apparently, the numbers didn’t quite do it for some people that make those decisions. But, again, during this time off, I just had a clear vision of what I want and what I believe is gonna work. And, thankfully, we all got on the same page.
WWE PARTNERS WITH MAYBELLINE NEW YORK AHEAD OF HISTORIC PREMIUM LIVE EVENT
“I got the shirt made, and the beauty of it is – is it ironic or is it not? People wear it to their actual jobs. That’s what you say to your boss. It’s ironic … or is it? That’s the fun thing about it, and it all stems from my WrestleMania tweets.”
McIntyre’s shirt is one of the top sellers on the WWE Shop.
The “Scottish Warrior” will face Randy Orton at Saturday Night’s Main Event. It will be his first match since going up against Priest in a steel cage in May.

From controversial comments to sly remarks made by an ex, the leading man of “The Golden Bachelor” is already causing a stir.
Mel Owens, cast as the ABC series’ lead in April, recently took fans by surprise when he admitted his plans to cut any woman who is “60 and over.”
The retired NFL star’s ex-wife, Fabiana Pimentel, issued a stark warning to those women vying for his attention.
‘GOLDEN BACHELOR’ MEL OWENS SETS STRICT AGE LIMIT FOR CONTESTANTS DESPITE PRODUCER PUSHBACK
“Good luck. I mean, it’s going to be bad,” Pimentel, who is 20 years younger than Owens, told the Daily Mail “But, anyway, I don’t want to be involved in this.”
During an appearance on the “In The Trenches” podcast in June, Owens opened up about the age limitations he requested ahead of casting.
“It’s blind up until they get out of the limo. But they asked me, ‘What’s your preferences?’ So, I just said 45 to 60, just being honest,” he said. “And then the process went, and I was selected, right? And then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, ‘You know, if they’re 60 or over, I’m cutting them.’ ‘Oh Mel, you can’t, you know, this is not the ‘Silver Bachelor.’ It’s the ‘Golden Bachelor.’ He goes, ‘But they’re going to be hot, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it.'”
During the first season of the show, the ladies vying for Gerry Turner’s heart were between 60 and 75 years old. However, at the time of filming, Turner was 72. Owens is 66.
Additionally, Owens said he expects the contestants to all be in good shape.

“I had no resume, but they asked me, what is my, like, my profile?” Owens said. “Well, they got to be fit because I stay in shape. [They] should work out and stuff. And I told them, you know, try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs, you know, that kind of stuff, right?
“Well, I don’t think there are going to be artificial hips or wigs there, right? Because I know there’s amazing women out there.”
The comments sparked outrage online.

“It’s fine, but just because men think it, do they have to say it? It’s so cringe,” one user wrote on X.
“I don’t even know why he agreed to it when the premise is literally people over 60 finding love,” another wrote.
Come were quick to come to Owens’ defense.
“All of sudden it’s illegal to have dating preferences?” one user wrote on X.
Franchise host Jesse Palmer told Us Weekly, “I’ve seen the headlines, obviously, because I’m on social media. We haven’t started filming ‘Golden’ yet, so I haven’t spent a ton of time with Mel. I know I’m gonna get to spend a lot more time with him pretty soon. I’m sure that’s something we’re going to talk about.”
Born and raised in a close-knit Midwestern family in Detroit, Owens transitioned to a career in law after retiring from the NFL in the ’80s, according to a press release.
“It was during this time that he met his first love, and together they had two sons,” the release states. “While life took an unexpected turn with the passing of his father and the end of his marriage, Owens channeled his energy into being the best father he could be, focusing on raising his sons and coaching their extracurricular sports teams.”
According to the outlet, Owens and Pimentel were married for 17 years before Pimentel filed for divorce in 2020. They share two adult children.
Pimentel, who married Owens in 2002, cited irreconcilable differences. The divorce was reportedly finalized in 2024.

While there have been rumors ABC has axed Owens as the leading man due to sudden backlash, Fox News Digital has learned that he is still very much the next “Golden Bachelor.”
According to the show’s site, Owens is “ready to rediscover a love rooted in the simple joys of companionship – sharing life’s everyday moments, making plans for the future, and growing stronger together as a couple … He’s eager to meet someone who shares this vision and finally find that perfect teammate he’s been waiting for in his golden years.”
