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’s what running back Tatum Bell did shortly after finding out that he was being released by the Detroit Lions to make way for newly signed Rudi Johnson.  Johnson didn’t think much of leaving his luggage outside Matt Millen’s office while he worked out the final numbers on the deal he was about to sign.  Maybe he should have.  Upon walking outside the office after getting his contract done, he discovered his luggage was nowhere to be found.  Here’s a hint, Rudi, it wasn’t Hamburglar that snagged your shit.

Upon looking at the security tapes of the hallway, it was discovered that Tatum Bell came by and snagged Johnson’s luggage and ran off with it.  He didn’t just go home after taking the luggage though; Tatum is better than that.  Instead he went to an ex-girlfriends’ house with the luggage and came up with a bullshit story about where the loot had come from.  Like any person with common sense, she didn’t buy it.  Bell was tracked down and gave back the luggage.

Tatum, are you kidding me?  Don’t play this off like it was accidental because it obviously wasn’t.  This is almost as good as Ruben Rivera snagging Derek Jeter’s glove out of his locker.  Almost.  What a classic way to end your time with a team; by stealing the guy who’s taking your jobs’ stuff.  Rumor is that he is now trying out for the Houston Texans.  Great, just what Ahman Green needs; Tatum stealing that phantom medication that Sonny always talks about for Green’s sweaty forearms.
