Brett Favre is a former Green Bay Packers quarterback and Hall of Famer who continues to speak out on football topics many years after retiring. Many fans follow his take on current NFL matters, and his recent remarks about the Super Bowl 60 halftime show have drawn huge attention.
Favre appeared onTomi Lahren’s podcast earlier this week and talked about what he sees as changes in how the NFL runs big events. He told Lahren, “In the last maybe 10 years, maybe a little longer, there’s been a slight shift. For whatever reason, I have no idea, because you want to appeal to your true fans. And it doesn’t seem like that is the case anymore.”

He believes the NFL should stay connected to fans who love the sport itself. He agreed when Lahren suggested the shift began around the time discussions about Colin Kaepernick became part of NFL culture.
One of the main topics in the interview was the Super Bowl 60 halftime show headlined by Bad Bunny on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. In this year’s show, the music was mostly in Spanish and featured Latin music elements.
Brett Favre chose All-American show over Super Bowl Halftime
Some critics, including former President Donald Trump, called the performance disappointing and said it was not what they expected from a halftime show.
Brett Favre fed the argument by posting on social media that he would not watch Bad Bunny’s show. Hewrote that he was “not familiar with Bad Bunny so [he did] not know if his music is good or bad,” and that he planned to watch the All-American Halftime Show instead, which was streamed by a conservative group at the same time.
Super Bowl halftime shows are usually among the most-watched musical moments of the year and draw millions of viewers. Bad Bunny’s performance drew huge ratings and was widely covered in the media, but opinions were mixed.
Favre is a three-time NFL Most Valuable Player and a Super Bowl XXXI champion, and he still carries weight in the football world because of his long and successful career.
He holds the record for the most consecutive starts by a quarterback when he retired, and he was selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times. His comments on NFL decisions show how former players remain part of football conversations even after retirement.
