Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins tweeted about Miami and let's just say things didn't go the way he thought they would, at all.
In 2010, I was mad at @KingJames for leaving Cleveland…but I’ve been in Miami for a total of 5 min and now I totally understand.

According to NBC Sports, Cousins told his Twitter followers that while he was initially upset at basketball legend LeBron James for leaving Cleveland, he was now sympathetic to his plight because he'd visited Miami and “now I totally understand.”
Naturally, this tweet didn't go over very well.

Realizing that this was going to devolve very quickly, Kirk Cousins quickly followed up with a Ron Burgundy/Will Ferrell tweet.

While the jury is out on whether Miami is, indeed, worth its weight in salt, Cousins — according to Fox News — has other things he should be worried about besides South Florida's tropical weather.
According to Fox News, Cousins has had less than a favorable season with the Vikings.
“Cousins played his first season with the Minnesota Vikings during the 2018 season after signing a three-year, $84 million contract with the Vikings. The team finished 8-7-1 but failed to make the playoffs after making it to the NFC championship without him the previous year.”
Kirk Cousins played college football at Michigan State, where he was the Spartans' starter from 2009 to 2011, and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Originally drafted as a backup to fellow rookie Robert Griffin III, he would occasionally appear in games, along with a few starts, during his first three seasons with the team. In the 2015 preseason, Cousins replaced an injured Griffin and remained the team's starter from then until the 2017 season.
