RUDI’S CRAZY DAY IN DETROIT Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2008, 9:17 p.m. EDT A strange thing happened to running back Rudi Johnson when he visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday. Someone stole his stuff. Seriously. Specifically, and as we’re told by a reliable source (i.e., not the person who told Mort that Joey Harrington had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Monday, or the person who told John Clayton that Todd Bouman had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Tuesday), Johnson left his bags outside CEO Matt Millen’s office while he met with team officials and, ultimately, worked out a deal with the team. So when Johnson came back to get his bags, they were nowhere to be found. Johnson and Millen were stumped. Enter the eye in the sky. The team checked the videotapes generated by the team’s in-house surveillance system, and they quickly identified the culprit. So who might it have been? None other than Tatum Bell, who lost his gig with the Lions after Rudi arrived. Per the source, Bell took the bags to the house of a female acquaintance. When confronted on the matter, Bell offered up some cockamamie story that he thought the bags belonged to someone he knew. The girl, however, said that she hadn’t seen Bell in several months and he showed up out of the blue and asked her to keep the bags for a while. Johnson has retrieved the bags, and it’s our understanding that charges won’t be pressed. Tatum apparently didn’t know that he was being monitored. Fortunately, the displaced running back wasn’t Najeh Davenport. www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/02/rudis-crazy-day-in-detroit/Basketballs may not hold grudges....but Tatum Bell does.

Remember when Tatum Bell was supposed to be a top-flight running back like 3-4 years ago? Good times.

Remember when you, Ron, were supposed to be cool like 3-4 years ago? Whatever happened to that?

Like I said in the NFL thread about this,I'm surprised that Tatum Bell didn't fumble the bags as he was carrying them.

The hell? That's just stupid. Not just stealing someone's bags, but doing it where there's cameras, and where you used to work, so everyone knows what you look like. Did Bell piss away his money so fast that he'd have to resort to crime? Let alone against a stand up guy like Rudi.

I'm curious about the logic. After all, if I steal your bags, aren't you stuck there? Wouldn't it make more sense to buy Rudy some more durable luggage?

What a way to start off with a new team.
When I first heard this I thought it was a prank, not outright theft.

I can't believe I used a draft pick to get a thief. A low-rate thief at that!

Welcome to Detroit, Rudi. OH!!! *sigh* I...have no argument. I have to admit. I haven't been able to stop laughing since hearing about this on Jim Rome. Especially after Roy's interview, where he basically said the team sucks, he'd much rather play in Dallas, and that Tatum Bell is funny. "I just know I write my name on all my stuff."
