Comedian Kevin Hart, who is 5-foot-2, challenged former NFL running back Stevan Ridley to a foot race. It didn't go according to plan, and now he won't be walking for a bit.

Hart conducted his own post-race media conference via Instagram after the loss Wednesday, recounting his perspective of events to his 178 million followers.

"Anytime anyone starts off by saying welp, it's bad," he said. He began and ended his address with that phrase, so the situation is definitely not good. He added a disclaimer that fans shouldn't be alarmed when they see him out in public — because he's in a wheelchair.
