John Rocker, Patrick Mahomes Sr. berate each other on social media after video surfaces of Super Bowl confrontation

After video surfaced of their confrontation on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, John Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr. continued the back-and-forth on social media. The two traded barbs on X Tuesday night following their incident after Super Bowl LIX.

Rocker reposted video of the incident, which he said started after he made a joke in an NSFW post. Mahomes Sr. didn’t take too kindly to it, which led to the strong reaction.

“This fucking loser can’t take a damn joke,” Rocker wrote. “Wish I laid him out right there and ruined his bullshit weekend even more.”

Mahomes Sr. replied to Rocker’s post with a response. A fellow former major leaguer himself, he said Rocker hasn’t “changed one bit in the last 25 years.”

“You really haven’t changed one bit in the last 25 years,” Mahomes Sr. wrote. “Keep my name out your loud mouth.”

Rocker then responded in kind. He didn’t think Mahomes Sr. would say that to him during their exchange before firing another jab.

“You wouldn’t have had the balls to say that to my face the other night,” Rocker said. “Lanky ass clown.”

It’s unclear what led to the exchange, which occurred outside a New Orleans bar. No punches were thrown, and the two former major leaguers eventually walked away.

Mahomes played in MLB from 1992-2003 with the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. Rocker, meanwhile, played for the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Rangers and Tampa Bay Devil Rays during his career from 1998-2003. The two were never on the same team together.

Mahomes’ son, Patrick Mahomes II, and the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in blowout fashion in Sunday’s Super Bowl. It meant the Chiefs fell short of becoming the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row, and the Eagles brought home their first title since 2018 with the resounding victory.

The Super Bowl is traditionally the biggest game of the year in American sports. That proved to be the case once again as FOX drew a historic TV ratings victory.

An average of 126 million people tuned in for the game, which set a record-high for the Super Bowl. That figure peaked at 135.7 million viewers, and 133 million tuned in for the halftime show starring Kendrick Lamar and SZA, as well as Samuel L. Jackson.
