NFL insider Tom Pelissero faced backlash from fans after he seemingly criticized rapper Bad Bunny on Thursday. His remarks came shortly after Eminem and Jack White delivered a well-received performance during the halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.
Following the praise for Eminem and White, Pelissero directed his attention toward Bad Bunny, who is slated to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026. Fans quickly responded to Pelissero”s tweet with a flurry of negative comments, calling him an “insufferable clown” and a “loser.”
The choice of Bad Bunny as the headliner for next year”s Super Bowl has sparked mixed feelings among fans. While many are excited to see the Puerto Rican artist perform on such a significant stage, others have voiced their discontent regarding the selection.
In addition to his halftime show commentary, Pelissero was also the first to report that Joe Burrow would be starting for the Cincinnati Bengals in their Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow made his return after missing nine games due to a turf toe injury sustained in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On his comeback, he led the Bengals to a decisive 32-14 victory over the Ravens.
With Burrow back at the helm, the Bengals, now sitting at 4-8, continue to harbor hopes of making the playoffs despite their slim chances of securing a postseason spot.
