Super Bowl LIX Week in New Orleans was not a fun one for the Mahomes family.

The Philadelphia Eagles whipped Patrick Mahomes Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday with Kansas Citys three-peat on the line.

Before that disappointing loss, Mahomes father, Pat Mahomes Sr., was involved in an altercation with former Major League Baseball pitcher John Rocker.

Rocker, a six-year MLB veteran (1998-03) spent four years with the Atlanta Braves.

Mahomes Sr., an 11-year big leaguer (1992-2003), played for the New York Mets in 1999 and 2000.

The Braves and Mets share one of MLBs most intense rivalries, one that Rocker stoked in a 1999 Sports Illustrated feature where he controversially commented on New Yorks gay, minority and immigrant populations.

Whether those comments are the basis for the Mahomes-Rocker beef is uncertain.

Whats undebatable, though, is that they do not like one another at all.

The two picked up their Super Bowl Week scrap on Twitter/X.

Rocker said Mahomes cant take a joke, leading Mahomes to tell him he should keep my name out your loud mouth.

Rocker retorted with three more posts on their meeting, including one where he said F*** PATRICK MAHOMES.

Mahomes claimed Rocker is a menace to society.

Theres speculation that Mahomes and Rocker were simply trying to hype up a potential fight at Barstool Sports Rough N Rowdy .

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy said he [believes] we have a signed agreement between the two on Friday afternoon.

If the move was a publicity stunt, it accomplished its purpose.

However, that doesnt mean Mahomes and Rocker have no animosity for one another.

And that underlying disdain could lead to a compelling fight down the line..
