Pat Mahomes Sr., also a former MLB pitcher, was in New Orleans to cheer on his son and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. But there would be no celebration for the Mahomes family, as the Chiefs were dominated 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles in the big game.
As if Super Bowl 59 week wasn’t hectic and stressful enough for the Kansas City signal-caller, imagine learning that your old man nearly got into a full-blown fistfight with another former MLBer.
Yes, that actually almost happened. As you can see in the video below, Mahomes Sr. and Rocker nearly got into a fight on Bourbon Street during Super Bowl week. The exact date of the incident isn’t clear, but good on those people who courageously stepped in to prevent the altercation from turning physical:
It’s not clear if the two had been together that evening before the near-fistfight or what exactly caused the confrontation to escalate. We’ll provide more details if they become available.
Pat Mahomes Sr. Has Had Several Legal Issues
Pat Mahomes Sr. is no stranger to the law, having been arrested at least three times for driving while intoxicated. For his most recent arrest (February of last year), Mahomes was issued a 10-day prison sentence, a one-year driver’s license suspension and five years probation.
New Proof Emerges That Suggests Refs Were Responsible For Kansas City Chiefs’ 3 Super Bowl Wins

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were humiliated by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, thus temporarily halting the conspiracy theory that the NFL refs are “rigging” games for them.
One of the top storylines heading into Super Bowl 59 was the state of NFL officiating. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs benefited from plenty of questionable calls throughout the 2024 NFL season, including the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round.
In that case, WIll Anderson Jr. Joe Mixon and head coach DeMeco Ryans even publicly called out the officials after their season ended. But with the Chiefs losing 40-22 to Philadelphia in the big game, Ron Torbert and his officiating crew got to mostly avoid public scrutiny.
Dov Kleiman shared a fascinating Super Bowl stat that outlines how the Eagles were successful in Super Bowl 59. Patrick Mahomes’s squad avoided a single holding penalty in their Super Bowl 54, 57 and 58 victories.
In their Super Bowl 55 and 59 losses? The officials flagged Kansas City for at least one holding penalty:
Remember, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa called out the KC offensive line for holding a lot before Super Bowl 58. So if the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl next season, this will be a fascinating trend to follow in the big game.
Patrick Mahomes Had The Worst Game Of His Career
Mahomes was sacked six times, threw two interceptions (including a pick-six to Cooper DeJean) and lost a fumble in the Chiefs’ blowout loss. Without a doubt, it was the most miserable and disappointing performance of his career, and it’ll be interesting to see how he bounces back.
