Welcome to the Tuesday edition of The Cooler, where I know a thing or two about overreactions. Let’s get to it:
*As the quarterback of a team that underachieved in 2018 even though he put up very good numbers, and as the owner of an $84 million guaranteed contract, Kirk Cousins has become one of the most polarizing figure in Minnesota sports.
It comes with the territory, the position and the contract. The torch was passed nicely from Joe Mauer after he retired, and the only reason I couched the last paragraph with “one of” is that Andrew Wiggins might want a word with me otherwise.
