About The Big Lead

The Big Lead is an independent sports blog. In February of 2006, it was the brainchild of 29-year olds Jason McIntyre and David Lessa. We will post anywhere between 10-16 times on weekdays. Our team of talented bloggers include: Stephen Douglas (Cousins of Ron Mexico), Tim Ryan (The Sports Hernia), and Tyler Duffy. The Big Lead was acquired by USA Today Sports Media Group in 2012.
