Credit: ProFootballTalk.com - RUDI’S CRAZY DAY IN DETROIT
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.

Luckily I didnt pick up Tatum Bell either, especially since I thought he was playing for Denver.
Wow, it just goes to show you that people never grow up.
The same shit that kids did and they way they acted in high school still happens now. Not just Tatum Bell, but even at my work where you would think people would be professional.
Maybe in your free time you should moonlight as the 'Office Linebacker'?
apparently, even in pro football, when you lose your job, it's the fault of the player hired to replace you. . .
hell, that's right out of daycare. . .
If I could only be the office linebacker. That too wouldn't be professional, but hey no worse than any of these other people.
