Patrick Mahomes' Dad Addresses Super Bowl Fight With John Rocker
Patrick Mahomes' dad isn't holding back.
Amid circulating reports that —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' 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.

Tomoyuki Sugano throws 6 sharp innings, Tyler O'Neill homers again to help Orioles beat Rockies 5-1
BALTIMORE (AP) — Tomoyuki Sugano pitched six innings of four-hit ball, Tyler O'Neill homered in a third straight game and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 on Sunday. Dylan Carlson drove in two runs for the Orioles, who followed Saturday night's 18-0 blowout with a more conventional victory in the deciding matchup of a three-game series between last-place clubs. Sugano (8-5) gave up one run, walked two and matched his career high with eight strikeouts. The 35-year-old righty, who signed a one-year contract with Baltimore in December, could be headed to a contender before Friday's trade deadline. Although he was impressive on Sunday, Sugano has yielded 21 homers in 20 games and had a 7.88 ERA over his previous seven starts. After languishing on the injured list from mid-May to early July, O'Neill appears to have found his stroke. Three of his six homers this season came in this series, including a two-run drive in the third inning Sunday off Austin Gomber (0-5) that made it 4-1. Colorado's lone tally came on a solo shot by Warming Bernabel, his first homer in the majors after making his big league debut on Saturday. The Rockies own a 27-78 record, same as the 2024 Chicago White Sox after 105 games. Those White Sox didn't win No. 28 until ending a 21-game skid on Aug. 6, and finished with a single-season record 121 defeats. Key moment Baltimore added a run in the eighth when Gunnar Henderson hustled from second base to home on a wild pitch that catcher Austin Nola was slow to retrieve. Key stat Half of O'Neill's 26 hits this season have gone for extra bases: six homers, six doubles and a triple. In addition, six of his 17 RBIs this season have come in the last three games. Up next Rockies: Bradley Blalock (1-2, 8.67 ERA) starts Monday in the opener of a three-game series at Cleveland. Orioles: Zach Eflin (6-5, 5.78) takes on the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards on Monday night. ___ AP MLB:

Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner shows off all-around game against the White Sox
CHICAGO (AP) — Nico Hoerner delivered for the Chicago Cubs on Sunday — at the plate and in the field. Hoerner hit an RBI single and scored from first on Matt Shaw's double in the sixth inning of the Cubs' series finale against the Chicago White Sox. He also reached on an infield single in the second on the 14th pitch of his at-bat against Sean Burke. But Hoerner's best moment of the afternoon was a heady defensive play in the third at Rate Field. The White Sox had runners on first and second with one out when Chase Meidroth popped up to Hoerner at second base. Meidroth was called out via the infield fly rule, and Hoerner let the ball drop to see if any of the baserunners would try to advance. When Lenyn Sosa broke for third, Hoerner — a Gold Glove winner in 2023 — threw him out for the inning-ending double play. ___ AP MLB:
