Jeez… Bell could’ve left the Lions with dignity. But NO, he had to do something so stupid, I’d be surprised if a team gives him another shot.

The 2008-09 NFL football season is here and we now have the first stupid stunt you’ll normally get from the ever controversial Terrell Owens. This time it was Tatum Bell, and after Rudi Johnson virtually stole his RB roster spot with the Detroit Lions, Bell felt it was only fitting for him to steal the guy’s bag. Hee hee…

You read it, security cameras from the Detroit Lions locker room show that Tatum Bell, the guy who just had his ass cut by the Lions from their roster to make way for Rudi Johnson, took the two Gucci bags Johnson received as a Pro Bowl gift back when he was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals.

‘’Ricky showed me the tape Tuesday afternoon,'’ Rudi 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.'’

Rudi Johnson said a woman returned the bags allegedly taken by Tatum Bell. Unfortunately, the contents were gone. ‘’I got the bags back, empty,'’ Johnson 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.'’

Bell of course, denies that he stole Johnson’s bags, claiming that he mistook it for Victor DeGrate’s bags, the Lions defensive end who, according to Bell, asked him to get his bags for him. ‘’I wasn’t thinking or nothing,'’ Bell said. ‘’I just grabbed the backpack and grabbed the other bag. They weren’t in nobody’s locker or nothing like that. They were just sitting there by the computer area right there. I grabbed them and put them in the car.'’

‘’They said they got me on film taking the bags. I said, ‘If you look on film, I wasn’t in no hurry or nothing.’ I was just going about my day.”’
