Netflix's 'Quarterback' trailer stars Joe Burrow, Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins ahead of season 2 release date
Netflix's "Quarterback" series is back, and some big names agreed to take part in the documentary. Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, Detroit Lions' Jared Goff and Atlanta Falcons' Kirk Cousins will be the focus of the second season of the program, Netflix revealed in a trailer Monday.
The trailer features Burrow talking about the longevity of the great quarterbacks, Goff talking about living up to high expectations after leaving the Los Angeles Rams and Cousins taking about the Atlanta Falcons taking Michael Penix in the NFL Draft.
It marks the second appearance on the program by Cousins, who was featured on the first season of the series. At the time, Cousins was still a member of the Minnesota Vikings. The first season of "Quarterback" focused on Cousins leading the Vikings to a first-place finish in the NFC North.

While Burrow and Goff should provide excellent moments, Cousins may be the most intriguing quarterback featured in season 2. After sustaining an Achilles injury during the 2023 season, Cousins joined the Falcons on a four-year, $180 million deal in the offseason. He struggled in his return, throwing 18 touchdowns against an NFL-leading 16 interceptions.
That performance got Cousins benched in favor of Penix during the final three games of the regular season. "Quarterback" will presumably cover that entire storyline, and feature never-before-seen footage of Cousins reacting and responding to those developments.

The first season of "Quarterback" was received well by fans, as it featured Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, then-Falcons QB Marcus Mariota and Cousins. But Omaha Productions, which produces the series, had trouble finding quarterbacks willing to be filmed for season 2 of the program. As a result, Omaha Productions pivoted to "Receiver" ahead of the 2024 NFL season. After a year away, Omaha Productions was able to convince Burrow, Cousins and Goff to take the plunge.
With the three quarterbacks announced, Netflix also dropped the release date for "Quarterback" on Monday. The program will air July 8 on Netflix. It's unclear how many episodes will make up season 2. The first season of "Quarterback" lasted eight episodes.

Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias taken off the field on cart with left leg injury
Cleveland Guardians' Gabriel Arias prepares to field a ground ball by St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado during the first inning of a baseball game, Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Cleveland. (AP Photo/Phil Long) CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a left lower leg injury in the third inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Arias went deep into the hole to field a grounder hit by Masyn Winn with one out, but caught his left spike on the grass and awkwardly rolled his ankle. The ball wound up in left field for a single. Advertisement The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder immediately grabbed his lower leg and remained prone on the field for several minutes. He was fitted with an immobilizer before being lifted onto the medical cart that drove him off the field. The Guardians will provide details about his injury once Arias undergoes an examination. Arias is batting .231 with six homers and 31 RBIs in 77 games. This is the 25-year-old Venezuelan's first full season as a starter. ___ AP MLB:

F1 Review: I Love The Eye-Popping Races, But The Sports Movie Clichés Are Overwhelming
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There is no question that director Joseph Kosinski knows how to shoot things moving super fast. He first demonstrated this expertise about a decade and a half ago with Lightcycles zooming around The Grid in Tron: Legacy, and his collaboration with daredevil Tom Cruise three years ago yielded the wild aerial awesomeness of Top Gun: Maverick. All of this is to say that the filmmaker is a natural fit for a film about Formula 1 racing – a project that offers ample opportunity for Kosinski to make audiences feel like they are moving at extremely high velocity while simply sitting in a comfy chair. F1 Release Date: June 27, 2025Directed By: Joseph KosinskiWritten By: Ehren KrugerStarring: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Javier BardemRating: PG-13 for strong language, and actionRuntime: 156 minutes As one would anticipate, F1 is an impressive technical achievement. It repeatedly offers the visceral experience of being strapped to the hood/side/back of one of the title sport's speedy cars, with inventive cinematography and brilliant sound design working in tandem to create the powerful effect. I can say without any reservation that the film met all my expectations in that respect, as I felt like I could practically smell the burning rubber on asphalt. However, it also falls short in some key narrative and storytelling arenas, which very much hamper the 156 minute epic. Brad Pitt is using every ounce of his star power playing driver Sonny Hayes, but the movie nonetheless fails to make it over two key hurdles: fast cars and crashes/explosions can't disguise the fact that the script by Ehren Kruger is excessively trope-ridden and formulaic. For those who don't know the various rules and regulations of the sport going in to the movie, it provides very little assistance and asks that you figure everything out via context (which I normally wouldn't ding a film for, but the reality is that I felt confused more often than desirable for an entertaining big screen experience). If you're a veteran fan of sports movies, this is a tale you'll probably recognize: Sonny Hayes is an aging, but still passionate driver looking for any excuse to get behind the wheel, and out of nowhere, he gets a golden ticket. His old friend Ruben (Javier Bardem) has a team that is desperate to win races and in need of a veteran to train hotshot rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Sonny is far from the first choice, but he is the first one to say yes. Things start off rocky as the team fails to synchronize and mistakes are made. But as Sonny and Joshua starts moving in the same direction toward the target goal, personality conflicts are overcome. And with the help of technical director Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon) using her knowhow to make the cars work best for the drivers in the tandem driving sport, they start to win. I don't know if anyone has ever tried to calculate a golden 'cliché to runtime' ratio, but F1 is certainly a film that goes far beyond what it would be. Stock characters and story can be fine if properly packaged into a breezy 90-minute feature, but the Formula One feature asks for an hour-plus more than that, and it's too big an ask. Stakes and emotional investment dwindle when the moviegoer is left waiting for next obvious plot development to unfold, and that comes paired with disappointment as you consistently recognize that the work isn't going to make any effort to try something new. It can't be denied that some people find comfort in a movie like this, as it's a nostalgic throwback to a past era of filmmaking… but if I'm seeking that kind of comfort, I simply go back to watch the titles from the late 20th century that originated it. Anyone's desire to see the storytelling evolve and to get something sincerely fresh out of the experience will be wanting (those seeking a similar aesthetic thrill can also find it elsewhere, with recent titles springing to mind including James Mangold's Ford vs. Ferrari and Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo). As for the presentation of the eponymous sport, I will admit to being of two minds. I have vitriol for mindless exposition that gracelessly spoon feeds information to ensure that everyone in the audience understands everything that is going on, and I also understand that Formula 1 has a massive, worldwide fanbase that would be insulted if F1 tried to hold their hand through every racing sequence in the film. All that being said, I am a layman who struggled to fully understand certain mid-race events and found myself disengaged during my screening. I get it: I would hate any baseball movie that felt the need to explain to me that three strikes equals a strikeout and/or what a home run is. But a little hand-holding isn't the worst thing. A great baseball movie can get across the mechanics of the game and potentially turn a non-fan into a fan; after watching F1, I can't say I feel any kind of motivation to learn more about Formula 1 (which offers a kind of disappointment unto itself). Die-hards will love seeing their favorite sport on screen, but newbies like myself are kept at arm's length and won't feel regarded as a target audience (a contrast with everything else about it that screams 'mass appeal'). The various characters are as clichéd as the plot – from Kerry Condon's 'the only woman rebelling in a male-dominated field' to Tobias Menzies' 'slimy executive-type offering back-stabbing deals' – and there is exactly nothing unique about the dynamic between the grizzled veteran and egotistical rookie. F1 is a case of actors elevating material, though. Brad Pitt isn't exactly developing his range playing Sonny Hayes, but there certainly is a proper exploitation that has made him a star in the last 30+ years, and a great deal of credit is deserved for his work actually getting behind the wheel and driving at three-figure speeds. And while this is certainly a case of 'The Brad Pitt Show,' it can be said that Bardem brings a lot of charm as the 'good friend who is way out over his skis' and Damson Idris demonstrates impressive confidence as an up-and-coming performer going toe-to-toe with his A-list co-star. F1 is a movie that seems to have a very clear idea of who it is for, but a consequence is that anyone on the outside of that target won't find much to love. It's a proper big screen experience, as you'll want to feel your chair rumbling from the sound mix and have your entire field of vision dominated by whizzing scenery and blurry asphalt, but thanks to its underwhelming script, its shelf life beyond cinemas is going to be questionable.
