11 Year Old Benched For Scoring Too Many Touchdowns.

At the young age of 11-years-old, Demias Jimerson reminds a lot of people of Razorback great Madre Hill. "If you were looking at them you would say they were very much similar," said Darryl Baker, who coached Hill and now referees Jimerson's games. "I mean they both run really fast, good kids, run with the same style." Like Jimerson, Hill attended Wilson Intermediate School and dominated the football field so thoroughly, the league invoked what came to be known as the Madre Hill Rule. Once Hill scored three touchdowns, if his team had a 14-point lead, officials banned him from scoring any more touchdowns. Now, for the first time since, the Wilson Intermediate Football League is using the Madre Hill rule again -- to tackle Demias Jimerson. "I got, kinda got shocked because I didn't know that was gonna happen, but it did," said Jimerson. Adding, "I'm ok with it." Principal Bryant, the defacto commissioner of the Wilson Intermediate Football League, says the rule isn't meant to punish Jimerson. It's there to help the other fifth and sixth graders on the field develop as football players too. "The other players on both teams, 21 are just left sort of, this is all Demias," she said. "So that's why the Madre Hill Rule has been implemented." But the Madre Hill rule is only for fifth and sixth grades. Next year, Jimerson goes to seventh grade. "I'm gonna run hard and bring our team to victory," said Jimerson. Then he added, "but God always comes first, before anything, and grades second." God, grades, then touchdowns -- Madre Hill Rule or not. Jimerson played a couple of games this season before the Wilson League invoked the Madre Hill Rule. In one of those games, he scored seven touchdowns. Jimerson's team is undefeated.

A new and exciting sports blog designed with the average fan in mind.

Welcome. You have stumbled upon my little slice of sports heaven. As a new start up blogger, I plan on providing my followers with up to date sports news, insight with analysis and off the wall sports "taboo" pieces. Unlike some of those large blog sites that have their parent companies holding their hands and telling them what to say or not to say (ESPN, Yahoo, FoxSports just are few that come to mind) I plan on giving the readers the real sports stories and as unbiased as possible. The theme of my sports blog is all things related to the Big Four of the sports world in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and seasonally talks about college football. My target audience is mostly the male demographic with ages ranging from 5 to 95 years old, basically showing if you love sports it does not matter what your age or sex is. Having easy internet access to sports stories in this digital age, I feel that tackling stories outside the national sports scene would be the best use of my time. It seems like some of the real issues facing the sports leagues are continually brushed under the rug and ignored until a lockout or labor dispute rears it ugly head around.

Make sure to check out my blog list gadget and see all of my favorite blog sites that I follow and regularly read.  Below is a quick recap of those blog sites.
