Heated Altercation Between John Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr. Sparks Super Bowl Weekend Drama
Former MLB pitcher John Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, were involved in a heated altercation during Super Bowl 59 weekend in New Orleans. The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, showed the two nearly coming to blows on Bourbon Street. Rocker approached Mahomes Sr., extending his hand for a handshake, but Mahomes Sr. swatted it away, leading to a verbal confrontation that escalated quickly. Both men had to be restrained by bystanders as tempers flared.
Rocker took to social media to defend his actions, calling Mahomes Sr. a “loser” and claiming he wished he had “laid him out” to ruin his weekend. Mahomes Sr. fired back on X, stating, “You really haven’t changed one bit in the last 25 years. Keep my name out your loud mouth,” and later adding, “John Rocker is a menace to society.” The altercation has sparked speculation about a long-standing feud between the two, possibly dating back to their MLB careers when Rocker played for the Atlanta Braves and Mahomes Sr. for the New York Mets.
The incident has also fueled rumors of a potential celebrity boxing match between the two, organized by Barstool Sports. Barstool founder Dave Portnoy hinted at the possibility, stating that a signed agreement for the fight was nearly finalized. Whether the altercation was genuine or staged to promote the event remains unclear.
Rocker, known for his controversial past, including inflammatory comments about minorities and immigrants, has continued to stir controversy with his recent social media posts, including criticism of Patrick Mahomes Jr. and the NFL’s halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar. Meanwhile, Mahomes Sr. was in New Orleans to support his son, who fell short of leading the Chiefs to a third consecutive Super Bowl title in a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The altercation has drawn significant attention, with fans and media alike debating the authenticity of the incident and its potential ties to the rumored boxing match.
