Fans have a hilarious idea for Davante Adams after Steelers Week 6 win

Fans were doing their best Cordarrelle Patterson impression after the win and recruited Davante Adams to fly home with Pittsburgh.

Fans of the ‘Steel City’ made their presence felt throughout the entirety of the Steelers’ Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Pittsburgh faithful knew their team was on the wrong side of momentum, having lost the last two consecutive weeks, and fans provided the much-needed assist as the Steelers won in Week 6, far from home in Las Vegas.

While some would assume their work was over, fans quickly flocked to social media in hilarious fashion, letting Pittsburgh trade target and current Raider WR Davante Adams know that he should fly back with the Steelers to his new home.

Steelers Nation must have been watching Cordarrelle Patterson’s recruiting tactics, as sales pitch after sales pitch flooded social media when the Steelers handed the Raiders their fourth loss of the season. Here are some of the funniest fan reactions and tweets, requesting Davante Adams that fly back to (hopefully) Pittsburgh with his new team.

7 more ‘Plane’ sequels we need to see after ‘Ship’

Here are our suggestions for possible future sequels in the ever-expanding Plane Cinematic Universe.

In January of 2023, audiences were introduced to the world of Captain Brodie Torrance, a former military man-turned-airline pilot (played by Gerard Butler) who rises to the occasion when the passengers of his ill-fated flight need him most. I’m of course discussing the plot of the film Plane, a movie that is about exactly what you think it’s about and grossed $43 million at the box office, nearly doubling its production budget.

Today, we learned that Plane is getting a sequel called Ship. As of publication we have no particulars about the plot of this sequel. There’s simply no way for us to have any idea as to what this film will be about.

While we wait for more details, we think it’s time to begin speculating about the future of this franchise. We have our elevator pitches ready, Hollywood. Here are our suggestions for possible future sequels in the ever-expanding Plane Cinematic Universe.

Wyndham: Shane Lowry went home thinking he missed the cut. He flew back Saturday morning after making it on the number

Lowry had a long trip to the course Saturday morning.

Shane Lowry thought his tournament was done.

That’s why he hopped on a plane and went home to Florida following the completion of his second round at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, at Sedgefield Country Club. Lowry carded a 2-under 68 in the morning, but it put him at 1 under for the tournament, which at the time was outside of the cut line.

So Lowry got on a plane and flew home. So did other golfers. Yet the cut wasn’t determined Friday night because the second round was suspended due to darkness.

Saturday morning, Chris Gotterup made a bogey putt after play resumed, bringing 21 players, including Lowry, inside the cut line. That meant Lowry had to scurry to get back to Greensboro from Florida.

His flight took off on the 680-mile journey at 7:31 a.m. and landed at 9:06 a.m., leaving plenty of time to get to the course before his 11:20 a.m. third round tee time.

It’s the most players to make the cut on the PGA Tour since the cut rule changed to low 65 and ties to start the 2019-20 season, breaking the previous high mark of 84 at the AT&T Byron Nelson in May.

Other golfers have had to fly back when making the cut before, too, like Bryson DeChambeau last year, when he traveled more than 1,000 miles from Dallas to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The made cut should help Lowry solidify his position in the FedEx Cup standings should he make a run this weekend. Lowry sits in 27th position heading into the playoffs, well into the field, but a strong finish could essentially guarantee him a spot in the playoff finale at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Bruce Irvin told Bobby Wagner he missed being with Seattle last year

Bruce Irvin texted Bobby Wagner after the Seahawks win over the Eagles last year, telling him how badly he wanted to be back on the team.

The Seahawks brought the band back together this offseason, re-signing a pair of pass rushers who used to call Seattle home in Benson Mayowa and Bruce Irvin.

Irvin made it clear just how happy he is to be back with the Seahawks after spending the last four years elsewhere – calling his return “refreshing”.

“At this stage of my career, I felt like going back home with Seattle, I consider it my home, that was the best thing that could happen to me, especially in year nine,” Irvin told local Seattle media on Tuesday. “I couldn’t ask for a better situation.”

Irvin originally joined the Seahawks as the team’s first round pick in the famous 2012 draft, which also netted the Seahawks Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson – but was widely panned as a failure by draft pundits at the time.

He was with Seattle until 2016, and has been in Oakland, Atlanta and Carolina over the past four seasons.

Irvin was excellent last year with the Panthers, posting a career-high 8.5 sacks in just 13 games. His return to the Seahawks gives them a formidable pass rusher and outside linebacker, and it allows Irvin to reunite with former teammates and coaches – including defensive coordinator Ken Norton, Jr, who Irvin has a lot of respect for.

“Norton is a guy that I consider not only as my coach but as a father figure,” Irvin continued. “The guy took me to Oakland with him, and also he played a major role in bringing me back to Seattle.”

While Irvin said he had some other options this offseason, he made it clear just how badly he wanted to be back with the Seahawks, a feeling he had long before free agency officially opened in March.

“After the Philly game (Seattle’s Week 12 win over the Eagles) I sent Bobby a text message while they was on the plane, I was like ‘damn I wish I was on that plane with y’all'” Irvin continued. “I just wanted to come back man.”

Irvin is back home now, and he gives this Seattle squad a veteran pass rusher who is familiar with the defense and who can come in and immediately contribute, something they sorely need after a disappointing season getting to the quarterback in 2019.
