Earlier this year, one-time Detroit Lions' running back Tatum Bell was accused of stealing fellow backfield mate Rudi Johnson's luggage. The dispute allegedly stemmed from Johnson taking Bell's spot on the roster. To honor this event, former teammate of both players, Roy Williams (the wide receiver), decided to dress as Tatum for Halloween (see picture to the left).First of all, it was great to see such an original costume from the person with the most unoriginal name in the NFL. Wearing a bellhop's uniform while carrying around luggage was genius. The inclusion of underwear featuring Johnson's name really put the gag over the top (since multiple pairs were missing when the bag was returned to its rightful owner). However, I fail to understand why Bell so angry about losing his position on the Lions. If you can't make their God-awful team, you clearly do not belong in the league.
While on the subject of Halloween, this year, I will be dressed as Matt Roloff of "Little People, Big World" fame. Did I mention I am 6'5'' tall? I thought it would fit perfectly with the whole opposites theme we have going here, and is less controversial than other "opposites" (i.e. fat, female, darker skin color, etc.). If you do see a post from me on Monday, assume I have been abducted by a gaggle of midgets (or struck by lightning, one or the other).
