Drake Maye Delivers Loud & Clear Message About NFL’s Decision To Pick Bad Bunny For Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show
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.
Cowboys Trade Proposal Lands Defensive Help From Browns in Form of 68 Game Starter
Around the NFL, there are a few teams the Dallas Cowboys will have to be looking at in hopes of them trading some of their veteran talent to Dallas. The Cowboys are in a position to be buyers now, and with the apparent help needed on the defensive side of the football, it’ll be intriguing to see what Jerry Jones has in mind.
When considering potential trade options for the Cowboys to pursue, Mauricio Rodriguez of A to Z Sports proposed a trade idea involving the Cowboys trading for Devin Bush of the Cleveland Browns, a 27-year-old linebacker.
“Bush is in my opinion the most underrated Cowboys’ trade target there is. Even with DeMarvion Overshown targeting a Week 11 return, Dallas needs to upgrade its linebacker room. Bush would cost very little — a Day 3 late pick swap would do it per Browns expert Brandon Little — and he’s been a solid run stopper for the Browns. Plus, he hasn’t been a liability in coverage,” he wrote.
Cowboys Have the Assets to Make a Trade
While a trade seems obvious for the Dallas Cowboys, considering they’re in second place in the NFC East, Jones understands that a lot goes into his decisions.
He believes the Cowboys have some of the best draft capital they’ve had in a long time and doesn’t want to waste it unless the team is in a legitimate position to win a Super Bowl.
“Just because we played well, all of a sudden everybody thinks, boy, you’re in the hunt, so it’s time to go out and gather up all of this talent that’s waiting around out here on the trees to add to it now that we feel good that we can be more competitive,” Jones said in an appearance on “105.3 The Fan.” “That’s not realistic.
“What’s realistic is that if we do see an opportunity, we are in as good a shape as we’ve been in in years with (draft) picks, with financial, with our (salary) cap,” he added. “We’re in as good of shape as we’ve ever been if we see a way to improve our team with a player that makes sense today, this year, next year to entertain it and look at it.”
Browns Might Not Be Ready to Sell
Regarding what the Cleveland Browns plan to do, while it seemed like the team would certainly be sellers, and help the Dallas Cowboys and other contenders around the league out, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, it sounds like the ideal plan for the Browns might not be to sell.
While they could move on from some veterans like Bush, she mentioned the potential of buying in a buyer’s market.
“Ideally, the Browns would like to buy a couple of players; they’re in the buyers market right now and they would like to add a couple of players,” Cabot wrote. “I don’t think they are looking to sell very many players unless they have like a veteran on the decline or a veteran who’s been around for a long time who could go help another team and they could get something for him.”
If that is the case, it’s possible that Bush won’t be available. He’s had a year with 31 tackles and one sack.
