Fresh off Bad Bunny's anti-ICE statements at the Grammy Awards, Roger Goodell doesn't anticipate an encore during the Super Bowl Halftime Show ... telling reporters he feels the music superstar will use the stage to unite, not divide, the crowd.

The NFL commish was asked on Monday about Benito's political acceptance speech at Sunday's event ... and whether he was anticipating a similar message being conveyed when he takes the field at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8.

Goodell said Mr. Bunny was right for the gig for two reasons -- BB is "one of the greatest artists in the world" -- but he also "understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people and be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that."

Published | Updated

CBS has concluded its reopened "Matlock" investigation into the sexual assault report that got David Del Rio canned from the series ... and the actor is eager to know the outcome.

TMZ broke the news ... Del Rio was booted from the hit show last October, after the star had been accused of sexually assaulting actress Leah Lewis on Paramount property days earlier.
