OT: Tatum Bell steals Rudi Johsons bags after he is waived 

Post#1 » by Optimus_Steel » Wed Sep 3, 2008 8:33 pm

After being cut by the Bengals on Saturday, Johnson came to Detroit to work out for the team and meet with Lions president Matt Millen. During the meeting, which ended with Johnson agreeing to a free-agent contract, the two Gucci bags that he had gotten as a Pro Bowl gift were taken from inside the team's headquarters.

On Tuesday, Johnson met with the Detroit media for the first time, and talked about Bell in a positive manner -- saying they had discussed the Lions and that Bell had given him advice on the team and the city.

However, shortly after Johnson praised Bell, team security director Ricky Sandoval showed him footage from the team's surveillance system.

"Ricky showed me the tape Tuesday afternoon," Johnson said. "What makes this crazy is that I've talked to him after games, and I talked to him a couple hours prior to this -- I guess it was before he found out he was going to be released."

Johnson said a woman returned the bags to the practice facility Tuesday evening, but that the contents were gone.

"I got the bags back -- empty," he said. "So he's got a bunch of my underclothes. What he's going to do with that, I don't know. He's got some socks and boxers."

Johnson said he was also still missing about $200 in cash along with his ID and the credit cards, but said that he did not plan to involve the authorities.

"I don't need the police for this," he said. "I got my bags back and the credit cards are canceled."

Johnson did speak with Bell after the bags were returned.

"I didn't want to talk to him, but I let him know where I stand," he said. "He knows how I feel about it, and it isn't anything positive."

Tatum's a running back who can only be successful with a good offensive line, he has to have his game fed to him instead of finding his own holes. He's got the quickness and speed to be a good running back just not that good of vision IMO.

He'll get a job as a backup, this stealing matter won't affect his career. It's a very low thing to do. But like I said won't affect him getting a #2 back spot.

Tatum Bell must be nuts.

when I first read this article earlier this afternoon, I thought "must have been an accident"

"I got the bags back -- empty," he said. "So he's got a bunch of my underclothes. What he's going to do with that, I don't know. He's got some socks and boxers."

Johnson said he was also still missing about $200 in cash along with his ID and the credit cards, but said that he did not plan to involve the authorities

I mean what was he thinking?....I guess since he got cut he needed the cash but what an idiot
