I think Smith and Thomas will eventually be a fantastic duo in the backfield. I don't think SD really wanted to let Thomas go but there wasn't enough room for everyone.

Damn, somebody was real spiteful I see.

RUDI’S CRAZY DAY IN DETROIT Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2008, 9:17 p.m. A strange thing happened to running back Rudi Johnson when he visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday. Someone stole his stuff. Seriously. Specifically, and as we’re told by a reliable source (i.e., not the person who told Mort that Joey Harrington had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Monday, or the person who told John Clayton that Todd Bouman had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Tuesday), 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. Johnson and Millen were stumped. Enter the eye in the sky. The team checked the videotapes generated by the team’s in-house surveillance system, and they quickly identified the culprit. So who might it have been? None other than Tatum Bell, who lost his gig with the Lions after Rudi arrived. Per the source, Bell took the bags to the house of a female acquaintance. When confronted on the matter, Bell offered up some cockamamie story that he thought the bags belonged to someone he knew. The girl, however, said that she hadn’t seen Bell in several months and he showed up out of the blue and asked her to keep the bags for a while. Johnson has retrieved the bags, and it’s our understanding that charges won’t be pressed. Tatum apparently didn’t know that he was being monitored. Fortunately, the displaced running back wasn’t Najeh Davenport.

Tatum Bell is my new hero.

LOL at the bag story. That's classic.

I just read that, the bags have since been returned but he says he is still missing 200.00 in cash, his credit cards, clothes and his ID, what the hell does Tatum Bell need with that ****? Unbelievable, talk about a bitch move, this is what I would expect to see from a scorned woman not a NFL player.

Funny they mention Najeh Davenport, good thing he wasnt the offender, he might have taken a dump in Rudi's bags and ran.

Anyone else notice the majority of the posts on the first page is about fantasy?
