? The topic of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 1934 throwbacks, also known as the “Bumblebee” uniforms, came up during a recent Not Just Football episode with Cam Heyward and Christian Kuntz.

The Bumblebee unis were worn from 2011-2016, and Kuntz hopes they remain retired.

“I don’t know about those bumblebees. I hope we don’t bring those back; I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t a big fan,” Kuntz said.

I have to agree with Kuntz on the Bumblebee throwbacks, the striped jerseys and dark tan pants were just not a good look.

? Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara are coming out with a new movie called “Sarah’s Oil” in 2025.

Here’s a short description of Sarah Oil. “In 1914, an 11-year-old Black girl, Sarah Rector, struck oil on her Oklahoma land, igniting greed and corruption. Despite adversity, she prevailed through courage and faith, becoming the wealthiest Black girl in the world.”

? Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo was at the OL Masterminds Summit. NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger thinks there wasn’t a better LG in the NFL last season.

? Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb looks like he’s almost 100 percent after suffering a devastating season-ending knee injury against the Steelers in Week 2 last season. A video on Instagram emerged of Chubb squatting a ridiculous amount of weight.

? Dave Dameshek and former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz discussed if the Steelers will have their first losing season under Mike Tomlin on the Minus 3 podcast. The Steelers over/under win total is set at 8.5.

? The Pro Football Hall of Fame wished former Steelers wide receiver a Happy 72nd Birthday on Monday.
