The Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl IX-winning team was in full celebration mode on Friday at the 2025 Mel Blount Youth Home All-Star Celebrity Roast.
The celebrity roast is typically centered around one person for the evening—but with this being the 50th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Steelers' first-ever Super Bowl title, the event instead focused on Super Bowl IX.
Legendary four-time Super Bowl champion Terry Bradshaw, who recently made headlines for his heroic actions at Pittsburgh International Airport, 'Mean' Joe Greene, John Stallworth, and other key members of the Super Bowl IX victory joined Blount at the event.
Blount explained that the moment was bittersweet, as many of the Super Bowl IX-winning team have since passed away, which the official Steelers website detailed below:
"I was a little bit sentimental of the fact that there's so many guys that are not with us anymore," Blount stated. "When you talk about this event being special, this couldn't be more special because of the accomplishment we made. But it's more than that. I don't know how to put it into words because you get kind of emotional."
Bradshaw was designated as the master of ceremonies for the celebrity roast, which is perfectly fitting as he is one of the most entertaining Pittsburgh Steelers in history.
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl IX team on the 50th anniversary of winning the Steel City's first Lombardi Trophy.

Pittsburgh Steelers Ex 5th-Round Running Back Released From CFL Team
Pittsburgh Steelers Ex 5th-Round Running Back Released From CFL Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back and fifth-round draft pick Jaylen Samuels is once again looking for a new home. Advertisement Samuels signed with the CFL's Ottawa Redblacks early last month but was released over the weekend as part of the team's final roster cuts. Samuels was one of 21 players cut. The 28-year-old was drafted by the Steelers in the fifth round at No. 165 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. The former NC State Gamecocks running back played for Pittsburgh for three seasons, appearing in 14 games each year, spreading out eight starts. He totaled 459 yards rushing on 131 attempts with one touchdown. Samuel left Pittsburgh to join the Houston Texans in 2021 before signing with the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He was cut before the season started that season. Advertisement He went back to Houston to join the XFL's Roughnecks in 2022 and then to San Antonio to the UFL's Brahamas in the 2024 UFL Draft. The Redblacks finished 2024 at 9-8-1 and in third place in the East Division, losing 58-38 to the Toronto Argonauts in the East Semifinal game of the playoffs. Samuel was without a team until the Redblacks came calling from the Great White North. At 28, he should still have a ton of football left in him, and he's now available to join any other team as a free agent - either in Canada or the US - to continue his career. As the UFL season is entering its playoffs, his opportunity there might come next season if he decides that's a path he'd like to follow.

Is Doechii's Oversized Balloon Jacket Summer's Newest Style Trend?
Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty When it comes to commanding the stage, rapper and budding style icon Doechii never misses. However, her May 31 performance at the Samsung Edge in New York didn't just deliver a flawless stage performance but a flawless fit, too. The Florida-born rapper has again gone viral. This time in a statement-making ensemble that blurs the lines between high fashion and hip-hop flair. The fashion girls are talking – and taking notes. The Grammy-winning artist hit the Samsung stage as part of a new partnership with the tech brand. She wore a dramatic balloon-shaped trench coat layered over a crisp white button-down and maroon necktie. Styled by Sam Woolfe, the look was cinched just enough to reveal her tiny waist and mini length to show off her legs. She paired the funky outwear with high beige socks and sharp black stilettos. Adding to her look was makeup and hair for the 'gawds. Her makeup included a silver cut crease, flawless matte skin, and a glossy red lip. Gold hoops and wire-rimmed glasses gave her fit a soft throwback finish, and her signature face tape continues to be that girl. What we love about Doechii's balloon jacket is that it challenges the idea of what summer style is (or should look like). A departure from the typical warm-weather dressing of booty shorts, maxi dresses, and skimpy tops, the 'Anxiety' femcee's fit stood out. Her body was still bodying – and so was her style. Her jacket is also a nod to icons like Andre Leon Talley who always played with proportions by his own rules. Yes, the piece is just that good. If you're thinking about how to tap into the Doechii summer style trend, start with exaggerated outerwear in breathable fabrics. Think unexpected to expected from linen and chambray to seersucker and chiffon. Pair the outerwear with short hemlines or stackable layers that help balance the volume. Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty For those not ready to go bare-legged just yet, layer baggy silhouettes over shorts or bike sets. Add sleek heels or chunky sneakers to stand out and don't be afraid to play with accessories that contrast the drama. Doechii's summer style trend is for the girls who like to put that ish on. Her fashion era continues to evolve —and we're ready for every oversized moment.
