New Lions RB accuses Bell of theft
New Lions running back Rudi Johnson said former Lions running back Tatum Bell stole two of his bags from the locker room Monday. Johnson said when the bags were returned Tuesday, they were empty; missing were his identification, credit cards, about $200 in cash and some undergarments. "All this happened once he got released," Johnson said Wednesday as he came off the practice field. "He came here to get some stuff out of his locker. That's when he scooped the bags up. Some real shyster, conniving stuff, man." Bell said it was an honest mistake. He said he intended to pick up some bags for a former teammate, and he grabbed the wrong ones. He said he never opened the bags and doesn't have anything of Johnson's. "I ain't no thief," Bell told the Free Press in a phone interview. "I ain't never been one, and I ain't never going to be one. It was all a misunderstanding."

Yea they are kind of late. But this is the best story I've read in along time. And as much as Matt Millen has stole from the Lions, I knew they wouldn't mention it.

Ironically, this was Bell's longest carry during his time in Detroit.

So where's the ID and credit cards, the $200 in cash and more importantly, the undergarments? Will they, at least, show up on e-bay?

Had there been a goal line painted outside the building then Bell would still be standing there, scratching his head, trying to figure out how to cross it.
(OK, so it's an old joke)
