Alright, folks, let’s dive into the wonderfully wacky world of Fantasy Football names, specifically focusing on our guy, Kirk Cousins. I spent a good chunk of my afternoon brainstorming and wanted to share the journey, bumps and all.
Phase 1: The Initial Brain Dump
First, I grabbed my trusty notebook and a pen – yeah, I’m old school like that. I started by just free-writing anything that came to mind when I thought of Kirk Cousins. I mean anything. Words, phrases, you name it.
- “Captain Kirk”– duh, a classic.
- “You Like That?!” – Had to include his famous catchphrase.
- “Kirko Chainz” – Because, why not?
- “Julie’s Husband” – Gotta be honest, this made me laugh.
I filled a page with all kinds of stuff. Some of it was terrible, some was decent, and some was just plain weird. But that’s the point, right? Get all the bad ideas out to make room for the good ones.
Phase 2: Getting Punny With It
Next, I tried to get a bit clever. Puns are Fantasy Football name gold, so I wracked my brain for anything that could work with “Kirk,” “Cousins,” or even “Minnesota” or “Vikings.” This is where things got tricky.
- “Kissing Cousins” – A little risky, I know.
- “Cousin Eddie’s RV” – A Christmas Vacation reference? Maybe too obscure.
- “You Like Matt?” – I changed it last min, from That to Matt, thought maybe some folks will find it fun.
I spent a good hour on this, scribbling things out, circling others, and basically making a mess of my notebook. I even tried rhyming stuff, which was…an experience. Let’s just say I’m no poet.
Phase 3: Refining the List
After the pun-pocalypse, I took a break, grabbed a snack, and came back to my list with fresh eyes. I started crossing off anything that was too long, too confusing, or just plain dumb. I wanted something catchy, memorable, and at least mildly amusing.
Phase 4: Final Touches & The Winner
Finally, after much deliberation and a internal vote, I think I’ve settled on good option to use this season:
“Kirko Bangz”
It’s short, it’s punchy, I can see myself using it on game * it won’t make people uncomfortable. Mission accomplished, I guess?
So there you have it – my somewhat chaotic process for creating a Kirk Cousins-themed Fantasy Football name. It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. If you’ve got any better ideas, hit me up! Always looking for inspiration.
