Kevin Hart to go Straight to the NFL

If you haven't heard the Kevin Hart saga yet, here are the cliffnotes: He's an offensive lineman from a Nevada high school who was first thought to be headed to Oregon to play football. Then, in dramatic fashion, he chose to play for California instead at a press conference in front of his high school. We'll let Deadspin catch you up on the rest:

It was discovered that neither school actually sent anybody to recruit him.

It was concluded that Hart was scammed by a con-man posing as a recruiter for the schools. The police had no information on the actual identity of the suspect.

Then, the police suddenly received plenty of information on the identity of the suspect when Hart himself admitted that he made everything up. Everything.

So what does Kevin Hart do for an encore? According to a source, Hart has decided to forego the college ranks altogether and enter the NFL Draft.

Citing his hero, Maurice Clarett, Hart stated that going straight to the NFL is "the smartest decision of my life." He will challenge the NFL rule which requires players to be three years out of high school before entering the league. Due to a technicality, many believe that the NFL will be forced to allow him entrance into the draft.

But that's not enough for Hart. Not only does he want to to be admitted to the draft, he also expects to chose which team he will play for. He told a source, "I'm either going to go to the Eagles with the 19th overall pick or making the Bills take me at 11."

Regardless of where he ends up playing, there's no question he comes with baggage. Who knows what this kid will do next.

Wow, that is some impressive reporting. I am actually a sports writer for the Pioneer Press in Sacramento, California and I would like to personally thank you for my front page story. If you could e-mail me anymore information or the sources from the story I would greatly appreciate it. mark.gale@email.pioneerpress.com

Remind me to stop reading the Pioneer Press in Sacramento. Unless, of course, they would like to respond to the ad I placed for beachfront property in Phoenix.

Contrary to popular belief there actually is a few lakes in Phoenix, Arizona. Actually, Arizona residents own more boats per capita than any other state.

Contrary to your beliefs Arizona is ranked 43rd per capita for boats with 2.56% of the people owning boats. Number one is actually Minnesota where 16.73% of the people own boats... nice try buddy.

False, maybe if you weren't such a blasphemous wench you would think about opening an encyclopedia and actually doing some accurate research. Any sensible person will consult the following site and be enlightened by the fact that Arizona actually does boast the most boats per capita than any state.

I hope the comment citing this:

Was sarcastic. That article concludes with the line, "I believe the statement heading this article to be a myth."

Since Stock Lemon is primarily a gambling advice website, perhaps the war of words between anonymous and anonymous can be settled with a friendly wager.

How about whoever is incorrect has to tell 100 people about this blog, and the correct person shall only be responsible for telling 95.

As we understand it, Arizona is 43rd in boat ownership per capita.

Regardless, you are both winners for finding yourself at Stock Lemon.
