Sorry, Kate.

If you grew up all over the place and have various loyalties, I get it. But if you grew up in the same spot for two decades? No. Fuck you. You root for your terrible local teams or you GTFO.

No, this can make it one of those too.

Sorry, they're already preoccupied with Torrington.

Buy a better app, like Downcast, and you won't regret it. It's worth the cost.

Throw in the inability to limit podcast downloads to just Wi-Fi connections (if I recall correctly), the inability to sort podcasts in playlists, and absolutely shitty feed management (there were times when it would try to fetch several HUNDRED already-played episodes of a podcast, multiple times a day, with multiple…

It's about two years old (it's a Foxconn Atom-based tiny-ass desktop), but I'm about to move to an older Dell Vostro 200. It actually has a better/faster processor, and it's more expandable. The Foxconn's a glorified nettop, but it's too small to be considered a mini-tower. It's actually an older version of this,…

You're responding to spam. These are the new "I MADE $58sdjklfn" posts.

Nope. Yankees suck, Jets suck, Knicks suck, Krypton sucks.

Connecticut might as well be Canada in terms of high school football. We get the occasional star (Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez is from Bristol, but he went to the University of Florida), but it's generally not as much of a factor as it is in the south.

What this person said. I mostly cover Winsted, a town that's been flailing for decades and although it has potential for its own rebirth, it's getting choked out by other factors.

As one of Jessica's colleagues, she knocked it out of the fucking park with this story. A little addendum: there was an incident in January 2012 involving cheerleaders at Torrington High School getting bullied, and it cost the coach his job:…

A couple of weeks after the verdict's announced in Steubenville, more sexual assault involving football players up in Torrington, Connecticut.

If there's a good enough team in there. It might take a while, but almost nothing is permanent in football, besides the fact that people will bitch and moan about it.

I think they were thrown out there as an example in a different conference. Boise State was pretty much the only reason to care about the WAC in football, besides Hawaii (pre-Sugar Bowl bed-shitting).

Well, yes. And the rest of the conference will be screwed if UConn jumps ship, but I'm guessing the likely options smell the desperation from Storrs. Well, desperation and cow manure.

You do realize that UConn's still there, right? They certainly think they're a major program, and they very likely could get back to that level, even if they aren't now. By the way, they finished 7th in the Big East this year, only four games back of co-leaders Louisville, Georgetown and Marquette. 20-10 record…

Android fanboys out-rage Apple fanboys 14 days a week. This is an indisputable fact.

I just did this too. The third screen on my phone consists of just the Newsstand app, a folder of default apps that I don't use, and another folder of apps that are just for emergency use only (find my friends, find my phone, compass). Everything I use is on the first screen, and the second screen is just the app…
