But Sometimes He Does Get the Carry
Pleats 'n Cleats — ... With the wide-spread use of cameras, people just can't lie like they used to (unless you hire the best attorneys in the country to help you lie . . . no offense to my people). Apparently Bell didn't consider this possibility when he hoisted Johnson's belongings away - apparently around the same time he was cut from the team - like a thief in the night from the Lions headquarters.

Tatum Bell: Evidence of thievery?
Footballguys Blog — ... I’m sure you’re as baffled as I am about the reports Tatum Bell stole Rudi Johnson’s bags as he was walking out of the Lions offices having just been informed of his release. Now, Rudi Johnson is vowing not to press charges even though he had to cancel his credit cards and lost his IDs and $200 in cash.

SportsHubLA — ... , partly because they’re so atrocious in the passing game. Denver is worse (18th at 108.9), but more because they choose not to run, perhaps because whenever they do, somebody gets hurt. How badly has the depth chart been thinned? Expect to see some combination of Hillis, P.J. Pope, Alex Haynes and Tatum Bell (yes, the same dude that snatched Rudi Johnson’s bag from the Lions training facility in the preseason).

Converted FB turned starting RB Peyton Hillis was very impressive, then was lost for the season to yet another injury. So, the Broncos have been forced to use guys named Ryan Torain and P.J. Pope, and even re-signed their former RB, Tatum Bell, despite the fact he was released by the Lions, and is now best known for stealing a teammate’s luggage.
