"It was November 2022, and Cousins' Minnesota Vikings had just come from 10 points down to beat his former team, the Washington Commanders, in a key late-season game. That was the origin of Cousins' alter ego, which was dubbed by teammates as "Kirko Chainz."
That version of Cousins -- minus the chains -- has always existed. There's the Cousins that goofs around by quoting '90s Ben Stiller movies such as "Heavyweights" and jokes about taking teammates on a tour of casual-dining chain restaurants such as Texas Roadhouse. And then there's the ultraserious Cousins, the one who focuses perhaps too hard on the "significance of the moment."
"I think, honestly, my wife [Julie Hampton] would tell me that you really got to be the guy who's just cracking jokes and having fun all the time," Cousins said. "That's your best self.
"I know she's right, but it's hard for me. ... And so, I'm trying to find that balance."
I think Julie just wants it for the bedroom, lol.
