Funny Story: Tatum Bell Steals Rudi Johnsons Bags..

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

Tatum Bell made off with Rudi Johnson's bags Monday while Rudi was in Matt Millen's office.

Seriously. Upon finding the items missing, the Lions checked video surveillance and found Bell doing his best cookie crook impression. Bell took the bags to a female acquaintance and asked her to keep them for awhile. Johnson has since retrieved the bags and charges will not be pressed. No word yet on whether Bell fumbled the leather items as he made his way down the crowded hallway.

I can't figure out if this is the truth, a lie or a prank...

What the hell? Is this for real or was he just pranking him? Gosh, i would hope he wasn't really stealing his bags. Wanting another mans undies is just wrong.

Sounds like a sore loser but.... we'll see.

I'm suprised Tatum didn't sneak under the security camera's.

 

[Danny White]

I suspect Tatum thought it was a hilarious joke.

Given the circumstances... it was not.

The Lions cut Tatum Bell so that they could sign Rudi Johnson, so it was all about revenge.

What. Tatum can't get his own wimmen? Gotta go stealin' Rudy's chicks?

TATUM “BELLHOP” STORY CONFIRMED

Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2008, 11:46 a.m.

Various journalists are chasing for confirmation our bizarre story of former Lions running back Tatum Bell swiping the bags of Rudi Johnson during Rudi’s recent visit to the team’s facility. (Our original story on the subject is right here.)

As it turns out, at least one of them has obtained confirmation.

Tom Kowalski of Mlive.com reports that the story is in fact true. Writes Kowalski, “A source close to the situation confirmed that it did happen. Whether it was a prank or misunderstanding or something else, that has yet to be determined, but Johnson was ‘pretty miffed’ according to the source.”

As we hear it, it wasn’t a prank or a misunderstanding. And but for the presence of video cameras in the area from where the bags were bogarted, Bell might have gotten away with it.

Kowalski also advanced the story, with this nugget: “An interesting twist is that, earlier on Monday, Bell and Johnson had a good conversation about the city of Detroit, the team, practice schedules, etc. According to the source, though, that was before Bell ‘put two and two together’ about Johnson’s presence in Detroit.”

This was simply Bell's way of confirming that he knew, even before they made the moves official, that he was out of Detriot. Symbolic that Rudi brought his bags, and moved in, and Tatum took the bags and moved out.

Great comment:
“The most shocking thing is Bell was caught on tape carrying something farther than one yard.”
