There is no quit in Cooper DeJean’s game. He was banging the drum at the Union game on Saturday and was still able to make it to Memories in Margate down the shore to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend:

The Union game on Saturday started at 7:30pm. Bang the drum, watch the first half, shake a couple hands, sign a couple babies, and get right on the Commodore Barry to Margate in an hour with enough time to get some pregaming in before heading to the bars. And you know what? Good for him. Live it up. A single guy in his 20s who just picked off Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl deserves to celebrate as much as he wants.

This might be the peak of his life. Do you really want to look back 20 years from now and regret that you didn’t live it up because you were worried what some people on the Internet would say? Guest bartend everywhere you can, party as much as you want, bang the drum and ring the bell, do a podcast even though we don’t need more athlete podcasts, and say yes to all of the brand deals you want. Get the bag:

P.S. There’s definitely a WIP producer whose sole job it is to bookmark all of the Cooper DeJean partying tweets and TikToks they see just in case he starts slow this season and they can spend the entire show criticizing him for partying and not waking up at 4 a.m. every day to train. Remember this blog when it inevitably happens.
