For years he was known only to the Internet world as "BigBlueShoe," the self-categorized "schmuck" behind Stampede Blue. Now, Brad not only writes about the Indianapolis Colts at the blog he helped found, but works as the editor of SB Nation Indiana, the sports regional site for SBNation.com.
Known for his foul mouth, poofy hair, and person weakness for anything made with Nutella, Brad is also one of those self-righteous 'Hoosiers' who believes sports is something more than just mindless entertainment. He's the kind who says, with eye-rolling conviction, that 'sports does not build character, it reveals it.'
The only redeeming quality Brad seems to have is he has a genuine love for Indiana sports. He also thinks Indiana sports fans are some of the smartest, most knowledgeable fans in the country.
Brad can be stalked on Twitter at @stampedeblue or @sbnationindiana.
