Patrick Mahomes’ dad isn’t holding back.
Amid circulating reports that Pat Mahomes I—who shares the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback with ex Randi Martin—had an altercation with former Atlanta Braves player John Rocker during Super Bowl LIX celebrations in New Orleans, the former MLB player shared a cryptic social media post.
In a Feb. 11 post to X, Pat—who was a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, and the New York Mets and more during his nine year tenure with the MLB—wrote, “John Rocker is a menace to society.”
Meanwhile, Rocker seemingly threatened Mahomes in his own subsequent X post.
“Mahomes is lucky he got away,” Rocker wrote just hours after Mahomes’ post. “I would have Rocked him.”
Later, Rocker added Feb. 12, “Well that was an interesting night.”
But while a video of the former MLB players arguing on Bourbon Street in New Orleans went viral, some fans are speculating that the altercation and subsequent social media posts are a set up to promote an upcoming fight between the athletes, which Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy announced in his own social media post.
“I don’t know if you saw the little beef on Bourbon Street,” Dave said in a video shared to X Feb. 12. “John Rocker and Pat Mahomes Sr. just going at it—almost broke out into a fight. I guess they f--king hated each other since their playing days—baseball.”
Dave continued, announcing the former baseball players would fight in Barstool’s Rough N’ Rowdy match April 19.

“They signed the f--king paper work,” Dave explained. “This is real bad blood.”
The media personality also extended an invitation to Mahomes’ son—who made a subtle jab toward Barstool during a press conference leading up to the Super Bowl—to watch the fight.
“Patty Mahomes and crew, no bad blood,” Dave added in his video. “We can make up and watch your dad fight. That’s an open invite. You say you don’t like us, I get your dad to fight John Rocker in Rough N’ Rowdy.”
E! News has reached out to reps for Mahomes and Rocker regarding the legitimateness of their rift but has not yet heard back.
