As far as the battery charge a punishment wouldn't be levied until next season at earliest.  So hope for the best for Mackenzie whatever he decides I'm cool with it.

I would think he would still play and dedicate the season to his father if found deceased. However, if still missing, that would be a different story.

But there is also a mysterious "previous incident" that was mentioned.

Seems there is A LOT more to this story than any of us know yet.  But since MacKenzie actually punched the guy and threatened to get a gun I'd say he is looking at a suspension from the NFL.

IDK? This is a panic situation not a night club incident. I think certain things can be forgiven but like you said, we don't know all the facts yet and may never for that matter.

This reminds me a bit of a case from the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. A black teenager was partying with some friends out in the sticks and they left him there. He was found dead over a month later under very suspicious circumstances. If the Alexander family was getting as little help from local LE as the family in that case did I don’t really blame them for trying to get to the bottom of it themselves.

Rough all the way around.

When I first heard of it I thought of when Michael Jordan's dad was murdered, sure hope this is not the case here.

Apparently the guy hesitated to go to the police because he thought they might have gotten in some trouble for even being there picking berries.  Anything could have happened.

The guy could have killed Mac's dad.

His dad may have died in a freak accident or gotten killed by an animal.  They were in a swamp so he could have slipped and drowned.

His dad might have gotten killed by someone else for being someplace he was not supposed to be.  Maybe he wondered into a booby trap at someone's illegal pot field.

I have no clue.

Everything about this is bizarre. Drive eighty miles to pick berries? What? Two guys leave and only one comes back? What? The chances of a good outcome seem pretty slim.

Maybe it was a brokeback berry situation. Drive way out, pick each others berries, have a good ol time. Macs dad threatened to tell the wives, it was time to come clean about their relationship. That was the end of it. A fight broke loose. Macs dads friend accidentally throws his lover into the arms of a crocodile. All this would come to light if he told the authorities what went down. He didn’t want to be found out. He’d come up with a story, and a good one. “I... left him there”. Yes it was a genius plan....

I think I’m going to go start writing a novel.

I find your tone in this thread pretty disrespectful. He’s a Bengal now, and his family is going through something terrible. Not everything has to be a joke.

There is a time to be joking around and it isn't in this thread.

It is disrespectful, but I also acknowledge I’m just some good for nothing poster on a Bengals message board with 0 influence on the situation.

In the words of the great Bfine, it sounded funnier in my head. But I’m not sorry for it, I had a good time writing it out *shrug*

I recommend the ignore list feature. You can live blissfully and I can continue with clown behavior.

I heard it was going to be a misdeamenor so hoping he can get through it and come back to contribute soon. It sucks that both of our poached Vikings CBs are potentially going to not play much. I can just hear MB in meetings grumbling..."i told you so!" or maybe not..?  cant imagine MB doing zoom.    

Reports coming in they found his father alive.

Per a source close to the investigation, #Bengals CB Mackensie Alexander’s father has been found alive.

Didn’t think this one would turn out well. Glad it did though.

Holy cow. Against all odds!

Source says Mackensie Alexander's father is not only alive but healthy and well. Mackensie and other family members are on their way to see him.#Bengals

Thank God. I kept scrolling through this thinking "where is the good news update?".

Good to hear. Happy for the family. Hopefully, he can get the charges dropped.
