Benjamin Watson wants an apology from Peter Burns

The moment that took place during an SEC broadcast looked awkward. After all, Peter Burns made a joke that was heavily inappropriate to the eyes of the former NFL TE. The hosts seemed to have exchanged words off-camera and took a photograph following the event. Burns shared an image of the two, but Watson didn’t appear to be as joyful as his peer.

Peter Burns shared the picture, adding a hashtag of friendship in the tweet. But the former Patriots TE mentioned, “Moving on. But you still owe Mrs Watson a public apology.”

Peter Burns may have to owe an apology to the ex-NFL TE’s wife. Burns may have also learned that making fun of someone’s spouse, notably Benjamin Watson’s, isn’t a good idea.
