Kleptomaniac

A hilarious story via PFT:? Former Bengals running back Rudi Johnson was visiting the Detroit Lions hoping to land a job toting the rock.?

Perhaps Tatum Bell Should Try a Conflict Resolution Class Instead

Recently Tatum Bell was released by the Lions in favor of former Bengal Rudi Johnson (who almost singlehandedly destroyed my fantasy team last year). I can understand why Tatum might be upset at Rudi but instead of doing what most of us would have done-yell at Rudi, punch Rudi, let the air out of Rudi's tires or order 20 pizzas to his house-Tatum decided to steal Rudi's...

Shanahan Knows How To Hold A Grudge

It's good to hear that Mike Shanahan still gets fired up when he talks about the Raiders. Remember, Al Davis fired Shanahan four games into the 1989 season. Yes, it was a long time ago, but Davis still owes him money. Maybe, Shanahan should have pulled a Tatum Bell and taken Davis' briefcase instead

Tatum Bell "accidently" steals Rudi Johnson's bags

Tatum Bell isn't happy about the thought of losing his job to Rudi Johnson. So what does he do? According to ProFootballTalk, he stole Rudi Johnson's bags. "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...

Tatum Bell Gets Revenge on Rudi Johnson, Steals His Bags

I'm not sure whether or not I should laugh at this story or shake my head at how immature Tatum Bell comes off to be, but it sure seems to be the trend lately. After the Bengals released Rudi Johnson this weekend, the Lions worked him out on Monday and later signed him. [...]

That's So Lions

Don't miss this... the story of Tatum Bell, in the midst of being cut by the Lions, stealing the bag of the guy that's replacing him (Rudi Johnson), and getting caught by security cameras.Words fail, folks. Words fail. (And if someone else in the league gives Bell another job, my gast will be even more flabbered.) H/t, Five Tool Ninja and Pro Football Talk...http://fivetooltool...

Tatum Bell Goes From Irrelevant To Sportable Legend

There's nothing quite like an athlete not getting what he wants and, instead of acting calm and mature about it, going Ruben Rivera on the situation and acting in the most immature way possible.?

That was quick: Rudi Johnson signs with Detroit

Matt Millen lied. Earlier I reported that Rudi Johnson had worked out for the Detroit Lions after being cut by Cincinnati, but that Millen said no deal was imminent. Well, that was a big fat lie as Johnson has agreed to a one-year contract to play football in Motor City this year. So what does all this [...]
