Drake Maye doesn’t understand why people are so upset about Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. The quarterback made it clear he’s frustrated with all the backlash surrounding the Puerto Rican star’s big performance.
During an appearance on the TODAY show, Maye looked genuinely surprised when host Craig Melvin mentioned the backlash Bad Bunny is receiving.
“Is there controversy? I swear I don’t know,” he said with raised eyebrows. When Melvin explained that many people, including President Donald Trump, weren’t thrilled with the decision, Maye just couldn’t relate with the situation.
“But why? I don’t understand that. He’s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top,” he responded.
Maye’s reaction summed up what many fans are thinking. To him, Bad Bunny’s music isn’t about politics or division. It’s about energy, passion, and the kind of showmanship that crosses borders. “I’m so excited for him,” he added. “He puts on a great show. He’s an amazing entertainer.”
Trump Slams, Bunny Fires Back
The controversy kicked off after Trump told Newsmax that he found the NFL’s choice “crazy.” He claimed he’d never heard of Bad Bunny and questioned why the league gave him such a massive stage.
“I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it,” Trump said, calling the move “absolutely ridiculous.”
His longtime advisor Corey Lewandowski also took a swing, accusing the artist of “hating America.” That didn’t sit well with fans or with Bad Bunny himself.
Hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend, the 31-year-old also gave a clear message with all the talk going around regarding him.
“You might not know this but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show,” he joked. “And I think everyone is happy about it even Fox News.” Then he slipped into Spanish, teasing the audience: “If you didn’t understand what I said… you have four months to learn.”
He used that moment to thank the Latinos and Latinas who “opened doors” before him, calling the performance “a win for all of us.”
While Trump rages and critics rant, Maye seems ready to grab his popcorn. As he put it, Bad Bunny will “blow everybody’s mind.” And honestly, he might be right.
Packers LB Micah Parsons Sends Scary Message to NFL After Career Game
The Green Bay Packers escaped the desert with a narrow victory over the Arizona Cardinals, and superstar outside linebacker Micah Parsons was a primary reason why.

Parsons put up at least 12 sacks in each of his first four seasons, a feat accomplished by only one other player in NFL history — defensive end Reggie White, another Green Bay great (although he played those four campaigns with the Philadelphia Eagles).
Despite the longevity of Parsons’ early-career success, he had never notched a three-sack game or an outing comprised of five quarterback hits until he did so on Sunday, October 19 in Arizona. Parsons talked about his career game with Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com and sent a message on his overall play that should terrify anyone across the league who is paying any attention.
“When it’s time to win the game, something just switches,” Parsons explained. “I don’t think it was my best pass-rush game, I just think it’s the first time [a team] allowed me to rush this year. I mean, if you look at the looks I’ve been getting — double tight ends, chips, full slides and then also just other guys stepping up.”
Micah Parsons Sealed Win for Packers Against Cardinals in Week 7
The Packers claimed the lead via a 1-yard rushing touchdown from running back Josh Jacobs with just one minute and 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
After a 10-yard penalty to open the ensuing drive, Cardinals backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett led his team 49 yards to the Packers’ 26-yard-line, snapping the football on a 1st-and-10 play with 32 seconds remaining.
It was then that Parsons made his biggest impact of the game, registering a momentum-shifting sack and of a loss of nine yards, which forced Arizona to take its second timeout. The Cardinals never regained the field position they had before that play, ending the afternoon with an incomplete pass on a 4th-and-11 call from the Packers’ 27-yard-line.
Micah Parsons on Track for Pro Bowl Season, as Packers Can Grab Lead in NFC on Monday Night
The third sack of Parsons’ day, coming when it did and producing the impactful swing that it did, is exactly why the Packers gave up two first-round picks and a solid defensive tackle in Kenny Clark to acquire him. It’s also why Green Bay paid Parsons a historic $186 million extension, which represents the largest non-QB contract in league history.
The Packers are now 4-1-1 and remain positioned to compete at the top of the NFC for the conference’s overall No. 1 seed in the 2025-26 playoffs. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-1) face the Detroit Lions (4-2) on “Monday Night Football” on October 20, while the Philadelphia Eagles moved to 5-2 on the year with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are also 5-2 through Week 7.
Thus, should the Lions defeat the Bucs Monday night, the Packers will technically have the best winning percentage in the NFC as the season’s halfway point nears.
As for Parsons, he has tallied 13 quarterback hits, 5.5 sacks and five tackles for loss through six games played in Green Bay and is looking on track to earn Pro-Bowl honors for the fifth time in his five-year career.
