Ex-MLB Stars Mahomes Sr. and Rocker Clash on Bourbon Street During Super Bowl Week

2025-03-01

Former Major League Baseball players Patrick Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker were involved in a heated confrontation on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Super Bowl week. The incident, captured on video, shows the two ex-players exchanging words and nearly coming to blows before being separated by bystanders.

The altercation began when Rocker approached Mahomes Sr. and attempted to shake his hand, but Mahomes Sr. appeared unresponsive, leading to a verbal exchange. The situation escalated, with Rocker throwing his drink near Mahomes Sr.’s feet as he walked away. Rocker later commented on social media, calling Mahomes Sr. a “loser” and expressing regret for not escalating the physical confrontation.

Both Mahomes Sr. and Rocker had notable MLB careers, with Mahomes Sr. playing for teams like the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox, while Rocker is best known for his time with the Atlanta Braves. Despite their shared history in the league, the two were never teammates.

Speculation has arisen that the altercation may have been staged to promote a potential celebrity boxing match, as Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy hinted at a future “Rough ‘N’ Rowdy” event featuring the two. However, no official confirmation has been provided.

The incident occurred during a high-profile week for the Mahomes family, as Patrick Mahomes Jr. and the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. The confrontation has since gone viral, drawing attention from fans and media alike.
