Kirk Cousins Is In The Process Of Trademarking "You Vike That!", Which Is Anything But A Surprise9/7/2018
LBS- Kirk Cousins unintentionally coined a catch phrase two seasons ago when he called out a reporter after putting up one of his better performances, and he’s still looking to capitalize on its popularity.
A filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office shows that Cousins is looking to trademark the phrase “You Vike That!” for use on hats, t-shirts and other items. The phrase is a Minnesota Vikings-style play on words stemming from the time Cousins shouted “you like that?!” after he threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns in a win over the Green Bay Packers in 2016. --------- And there you have it, irrefutable proof that Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings are the perfect match made in Middle America. I don't mean that in a football sense, though I do think that Case Keenum 2.0 would make for a highly accurate nickname for their new quarterback. Hell, I don't even mean in an ironic sense, though it is rather coincidental that said quarterback's catchphrase just so happens to rhyme with a conjugation of his new team's mascot. Instead, what I mean is that "You Vike That!" is worth more eye rolls than dollars in most cities. The Jets were the other team in heavy pursuit of Kirk Cousins, and could you imagine him trying to push such a corny product on inherently disagreeable fans of a long suffering franchise in the Tri-State Area? Obviously that slogan would make absolutely no sense in New York, but neither does the preposterous idea of happily calling up a service agent to have a friendly, personal chat about career-altering news...
Point being, Kirk Cousins is just humble, quirky cornball that appreciates a good pun. I haven't exactly checked out Minnesota's comedy scene, but something tells me a city that's happy-go-lucky in its hospitality and good-natured in its naivety is hokey in its humor too.
