What is Iron Ref?

No it is not the result of some flamboyant Japanese fever dream. Instead, each week a theme is picked – and a selection of writers from sports blogtopia submits a short post with an example of a play, player, team, coach, announcer, season, or some sports-related moment that most appropriately/creatively conveys that week’s theme (the secret ingredient).

It can be funny, heartfelt, serious, or crude – whatever the contestants decide. The three posts will be displayed together with any video or pictorial evidence they care to include (embeddable video is encouraged).

The winner will NOT be decided by some highbrow sports elite, but rather by YOU – the uninformed masses – in the comments.

This ongoing event was inspired by and received blessing from the great and awesome Iron Clef, which you should check out, you band dork.
